a good all around tire for everyday use, they seem to do very well offroad,( they do not do well in desert country with lots of mesquite, and greasewood there the old NDT is King or a gamma goat set up. Theydo well in rain for a bias ply. I have not been impressed with the michelins in soft areas and after years of employment with the U.S. Govt. have not found them to always use the best item. This is no reflection on Mike or his years of expierance just a personal observation based on ownership of trucks with NDT s and STAs and fellow wagoners using the supper boggers seem to give great service although not in the desert terrain mentioned above and michelins really sucked in the sand. In the M37 I was riding in was equipped with a Detroit diesel. I do not care for their appearance on a PW as much as a bogger I really like the limited use I have had with a power king and am strongly considering them on my WC 51.
