35x12.5x17 General Grabbers?

I went and priced tires and wheels today and I decided on 35x12.5x17 general grabber red letters and 17x8.5 Vtec offroads. However I only have one persons review on the tires. Does anybody have the red letters on an f150? How many miles? What's the treadwear like? And how are they Offroad?

I think there's only a few people with them on here because of how hard they are to get with them being on national backorder. But from what I've heard they perform great on road and even better off road from what I've read about them over on dezertrangers.

Ive heard theyre good on desert but suck everywhere else... also in rain they have none of those little slots for the water to go in...like the BFG KM1 series, which i have heard suck in rain. I might get a set....but first ill get KM2s

I have had them for almost a year now on my truck, in that exact size. I love them, and living in Canada I was really impressed with them in the snow which I didnt expect. They are touch n go in the rain, and just like any tire they suck on Ice.

I have only had them off road a couple times, and they were pretty good in the mud, they didn't clear the treads as nicely as i would have liked in the deep stuff, but thats not what they were really designed for.

hope that helps

only about 6000 miles on them so far, and they seem to be wearing pretty good I would say I am still around 90% + left on them. They are also one of the quietest off road tires I have ever had, and even some of my buddies have commented on how nice it is to not hear the constant hum inside the cab. They ride pretty good, again a lot better then previous tires I have had. I dont find a heavy vibration from them, or the feeling that I am constantly correcting the wheel because they are following all the lines of the road
