I went to SEMA today and saw some awesome trucks with R/Ts everywhere. Tomorrow is the last day and I'm seriously wanting buy them. There's also so many trucks and jeeps with the too m/ts. So many choices.

now that i have my winter duratracks on the truck i can say that the Duratracs are louder then the RTS by a good amount. and the RTs slide more easily then the duratrcas.

all in all I love the RTs for the purpose i bought them.

Can you elaborate on this? Slide more on wet pavement? Snow/ice? Dry pavement?

My biggest beef with my Toyo MTs on my last truck was how slippery they are in the rain. I'm not looking to go down that road again with the RTs.

That's exactly what I mean. More slippery in all wet conditions on pavement. There is little to no siping and a lot of flat rubber. So they slide easily. The RTs would let go in pretty modest rain. I'm not on it heavy by Im not dainty either.

Just got my RTs installed on 17" Method NVs. What someone has said before, they look MUCH more aggressive in person. Saw them side-by-side with the MT and wasn't disappointed with the look of the RT. They're smooth, and much quieter than I expected. Only had them for a day so far but I'm loving them.

Hmm... I haven't had slippage problems with my RTs in the rain.

My MTs are better than my Duratracs were in the rain. I'm actually really impressed with the MTs in the rain.

I have almost 1k miles on the RTs and I'm happy with them. I haven't any dirt trails yet. I cant say anything about hoe they perform in wet conditions. That's the beauty of living in Vegas. Will update as soon as I take it offroad.

I got my first taste of winter driving last night with my R/T's. There wasn't much snow, but there was black ice. Id have to say the tires performed great. The tires only broke loose once, and that was when I put the pedal to floor to drift around a corner. I love winter!
