These were on sale at the time I was shopping and so I thought, since I only ever saw positive reviews about them on social media, I decided to purchase a set of these. So far after 10 months I can safely say they perform just as good as the Toyo Open Country MTs on both sand and rock and can confidently see these lasting four or five years even with heavy offroad use. They seem to do just fine in wet road conditions especially being a mud tyre and while they're a bit noisy on the highway but to be fair, so is every single other mud tyre out there so that was expected anyway. I am yet to test these in mud but I'm confident they will not disappoint.

315/75 R16 EU tyre label data

The most common load index is 127. Speed ratings on offer: R (170 km/h), Q (160 km/h). 2 tyres in this size carry the 3PMSF severe snow marking.
72dB Quietest tyres
The quietest 315/75 R16 tyres are labelled at 72 dB external noise:
- Westlake SL369 All Season 8.5
- Yokohama iceGUARD G075 Winter
- Comforser CF1100 AT All Season
Label values come from the EU EPREL database and apply to the EU market versions of each tyre. Wet grip and rolling resistance run from class A (best) to E; noise is the measured drive-by figure. A good label is a floor, not a verdict - the tests and owner ratings above tell you far more.

What drivers say about their 315/75 R16 tyres
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
For a mud terrain tyre this is great. Good wear, great offroad and not bad on Road. Low noise in my case because the noisy dieselengine is louder than the tyres. Downsides are roadfeeling/feedback and rhat the tyres are heavy because of stiff sidewalls. Great for offroad, but the comfort really suffers.
Not bad tyre in itself, but its more my preferances and use make me want to buy bfgoodrich ko2 in 285/75r16 next time.
I got these tires for off-road driving in snow, so this is what my review concentrates on.
I consider them good, but not quite great on snow and ice. They will probably outperform most other tires in these conditions, but I think a top-end winter tire would do better. My main complaint is that their lateral grip seems a bit lacking on snow and ice.
I have a second vehicle with Hankook Dynapro AT M tires, and the Geolandar I/T G072 tires get better grip on snow and ice. Having helped dozens of vehicles get unstuck from the snow (this is what I do for fun), I'm confident in saying that the Geolandar I/T G072 tires get somewhat better traction in snow than most all-terrain tires, and much better traction in snow than most mud-terrain tires.
On the pavement, they do fine, and they aren't too noisy. But, I don't ever push them hard on pavement, so I can't really say much about this.
these are on my 2002 Nissan patrol 3.0 tdi uses a bit more diesel being so big (eg 315/75/r16 = 35")but they look good and drive great even on these uneven damaged roads here in Christchurch new Zealand
