I have them on my hilux.
Brilliant on the road , quiet & good in the wet.
Tyres are directional so you can often dig yourself out when used in reverse , especially so in shingle.
Only downside is can wear out faster then some others on the road if running them at low pressure , but if you air up before going on the tarseal are fine.
Considering they are in the lower price range are great value for money.

I have them in 35 inch....
Great on road manners...
Excellent in the sand..
Skittish on grass. But what isn't oh Simex.....
Work fine in mud but skittish on sidlings.
And the price is pretty good.

Ive got them on my my gu patrol road bus and love them. Really quite on road and drive just like the old a/ts that were on there before. Good tire if you do more road kms than offroading but still want a tire thats ok in most conditions.

Agree with above comments, great on the road and for the beach once the tread is gone down, but in my observation's they are shyte in the mud as they dont unclog easy unless you have the horse power to clear them, awesome for the road.

Had them on my L200 (when I had it) and they were great. As been said, quiet on the road and handled well. Off road I never had a problem. Worked well in mud and snow and grassy farm tracks and paddocks.
Definately need to be run with lower pressures off road and higher pressures for on road.

I have heard of issues on river beds and sidewall puncture issues, but I never had any issues at all with what I did.
I've fitted quite a few sets onto dairy farm Hilux's that do a lot of muddy paddock work and the reports back have been very good.

i have them on my vx 80 series they are great on road with low noise and good handling. Off road they work well and priced well for the quality of tyre. I run mine at 34 on road and 31 off road seem to be fine.
