OK, the Interco TrXus thread is over a year old now, so I've got some questions for you guys who have one of the following sets of tires:

Bridgestone Dueler MT
BFGoodrich AT
BFGoodrich MT
InterCo TrXus
Goodyear MT/R
ProComp Xterrain

While I'm really only interested particularly in the above-mentioned tires, I'm sure folks with other tire types are probably going to want to give feedback as well. This information might be useful for other people looking for a tire that fits their driving style.
Thanks for your participation!

Copy and paste this:

* Tire type: Bridgestone BFGAT BFGMT TrXus Goodyear ProComp
* Tire size:
* Highway air pressure:
* Miles since tires were installed:
* Estimated remaining mileage:
* Have tires been able to maintain good balance? [Y/N]:
* Are significant chunks of rubber missing from the tread? [Y/N]:
* Number of times per month that you wheel:
* Type of terrain in which you most frequently have excessive wheelspin: Mud Sand Rocks Dirt Pavement
On a scale of 1-10, please rate:
* Highway noise comfort (1=WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU! LET ME PULL OVER!, 10=just as quiet as the stock tires):
* Highway wet traction performance (1=hey, is this water or ice!!?, 10=stick like glue):
* Assuming nothing better comes out, will you buy these tires again? Why/why not?

* Tire type: Bridgestone BFG/AT
* Tire size: 215/75/15 (I think, they were on a Ford Ranger, now sold)
* Highway air pressure: 30 psi
* Miles since tires were installed: 20,000
* Estimated remaining mileage: at least 20,000
* Have tires been able to maintain good balance? Yes
* Are significant chunks of rubber missing from the tread? No
* Number of times per month that you wheel: 0, just some poorly-maintained dirt roads/mud/snow
* Type of terrain in which you most frequently have excessive wheelspin: Mud, dirt
On a scale of 1-10, please rate:
* Highway noise comfort: 8
* Highway wet traction performance: 8
* Assuming nothing better comes out, will you buy these tires again? At some point, but I'm thinking of Pirelli Scorpions for the X next because they may be more suitable for the kind of driving I do. My main concern is snow.

This is an excellent thread/idea for those shopping for new shoes. smile

* Tire type: Interco TrXus
* Tire size: 31x10.5 on 15s
* Highway air pressure: 28 psi
* Miles since tires were installed: 10000
* Estimated remaining mileage: 50-60k
* Have tires been able to maintain good balance? [Y/N]: Not really, Interco's are hard to balance and keep balanced
* Are significant chunks of rubber missing from the tread? [Y/N]: Nah, they still look good
* Number of times per month that you wheel: Once if I'm lucky... mad
* Type of terrain in which you most frequently have excessive wheelspin: Big lugs and sand are bad... Great in mud, kinda slippery in snow
* On a scale of 1-10, please rate: Depends on amount you wheel and where... I commute often... for that reason a 4, for sheer offroad capability and style 8... If they only made these in a 32 x 11.5
* Highway noise comfort (1=WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU! LET ME PULL OVER!, 10=just as quiet as the stock tires): 4-5
* Highway wet traction performance (1=hey, is this water or ice!!?, 10=stick like glue): 7-8, I've never had any hydroplane scares... probably due to the excessive weigth of my X
* Assuming nothing better comes out, will you buy these tires again? Why/why not? I just sold these to get a set of 32x11.5 BFG MT, which I think will be a little more highway worthy, yet give me plenty of offroad ability when I do find time to play. If I can ever quit spending money on this stupid truck and save a little, I'd get a beater commuter car, and throw 32 x 11.5 Interco SSR's on.

These are great for the guy who can wheel often in the mud/rocks, doesn't have to highway drive a lot, and doesn't want to get crazy to fit them under thier truck. They fit under mine with a T-bar tweak and a zip with the dremel bam

Oh, and the price isn't bad @ $106 each
