New Tires Interco SS M16s 295/75R16

[STROKIN N STYLE]

I've got a buddy with a 2010 cummins and has been running trail grapplers for 50k and needs new tires and he has been looking at the M-16's. Luckily i found this thread,

Have you been rotating them? Your alignment being off will cause cupping too. Once it starts you will never stop it.

I'm really happen with mine so far... The noise i think is perfect, sorta makes me smile every once in a while! They get alil loud up over highway speed but way way better than mud grapplers..

7200 miles on them now, and they still look like new. i havent noticed much wear at all. i have noticed them getting a little bit louder though, but just turning on the radio will hide the sound

i got almost 18k miles on em, and now i notice my truck is bouncing and vibrating a little more. they are getting louder. im looking in to nitto trails after these wear out

Loud, never balanced, appear "skinny" compared to a toyo or nitto trail, and handle HORRIBLE on wet roads compared to the other two mentioned above.

I guess I was one of the first on here to get the m16's and so far they have done great. Lately they are starting to get a bit uneven in the tread blocks. Ive got about 25 or 30k miles on them. Wearing pretty good considering the miles and they are 4 years old now.

I'll probably go back with another set when ever these wear out. They still look like new tread depth wise.

This is right after I had put them on the truck.

No way! I cant blame the tires.for all my woes but one week in I had to buy a fifth because I had a lag bolt in them. A month later I started having bad vibration issues. The one tire had a broken belt(?) in it. Then three months in I had noticed the.noise was getting unbearable. They would grip well but the highway drone was ***kin awful. In the tires defense, I bought them to be used offroad on a lifted truck that towed and recovered.fallen trees. Then I wound up goung back to steelwork and driving two hours each way to.work and putting 30k miles on them in 7months. They were shot and veeeery noisy. They were horrible for me in any situation that didnt involve.throttle in loose soil/mud/sand. Wet pavement was.bad LOL

I went to a baja claw in 37x13.5. They are noisy as well but smoother ride and.balance.nicely. Ditched.these wheels and tires for 35x12.5 atz on 20x12 fuel.throttle. The claws had under 30k on them and are showing little to no wear. They were better.but still not confident in braking on wet or.snowy pavement.

damn seems like alotta people have had problems with them

I dont have any of the noise problems mentioned a bunch in here on my tires but Im wondering if its because mine are 295/75's and maybe the ones with noise are from the wires being wider on the version they went with?

Mines stops great in the rain and mud and Ive driven 3 times or so in snow with no real issues either. But again it may be the size I have.

The only complaint I have with them would be the uneven tread blocks which are only noticable at 5 mph. Feels like a dirtbike with knobby tires at 5mph or slower is the best I can describe it. Above 5mph they are smooth as silk.
