That was what fueled me to buy the Timberlines back when I did. They were great tires, but I thnk I got a bad batch. 2 of the 5 I bought gave up the ghost within the first 500 miles. The crazy part is I loved them and they did awesome in the mud and the rocks. They were just a soft rubber compound.
Damien ran the same set of tires, size and everything, and never had a problem with them.
I like my MTR's They have their weak spot, which is deep mud, but I always seem to make it through ok. Not as good as TSL's or boggers, but as good as BFG MT's and their like. MTR's give me the ability to float pretty well on snow and over mud, do great in the rocks and sand(or in this case, sand snow). PLus I have confidence in their sidewall strength and tire wear.
Havign said that, my next set will not be an MTR, but rather a more aggressive terrain-dedicated tire like something Swamper-ish or rock friendly.
