i have heard good and bad. personaly when i look at the things hanging on the showroom shelf i ask myself who the hell invented these suicidal looking things. but i here they work well on the trail. and as far as pavement use... dont forget to pray each night before you go to bed, and also everytime you get in the truck. haha. very hazzardouse for the highway.

I think they are lame, they dont add traction they only add flex. Those two things are not always symbiotic
