We were a little concerned at first, going from a 16 ply to a 14 ply, our truck weighs around that 18,000 lb mark. But seeing what those tires go through compared to our old style tire, I am very surprised at how well they have done. We have run over stumps, logs, up very steep terrain in the woods, deep mud, deep snow and have been stuck substantially less. If I had to give a rating 1–10, I would say these are definitely an 8–9 compared to what we were using before.

We absolutely love these tires, can't say enough good things about them! We are running them on three of our trucks at the moment and they have been a staple in our drivability and consistency with our work here in SK. We love your products and appreciate everything you do for the medium duty and heavy truck industry.

This truck went coast-to-coast-to-coast all summer on these tires with no issues. It attended all major Canadian fire truck conferences and display shows. Personally, I drove over 20 hours highway in one trip on these tires and they performed very well.

They converted our grass truck from an ineffective grass truck that got stuck whenever we ventured into a wet location with the original dual wheels, to a very effective grass truck that has not gotten stuck yet. It throws a lot of mud but gets you where you need to go.

I absolutely love the tires! I put 6 on my F550 and used them for a whole summer. Up here in rural Maine we have lots of grass and forest fires requiring us volunteers to go off-road at certain times. The performance whether off-road or under a heavy load towing is quite impressive!

The tires have been really good, got about 20,000 miles on them and still look almost new. I recommend these to anybody running an F450 or F550 truck.

We have been super happy with them, and customers love the look. We had the truck at the Virginia Fire & Rescue Conference in Virginia Beach and had a ton of positive feedback. We'll definitely keep them in our build specs.

I have heard no complaints from the customers. Once we installed the tires, the department stopped in and said it wouldn't fit inside the station door, so we purchased the Founders wheels and tires from Firematic and got them right in the station.

Tires have been treating us very well! Been out on a few brush fires and they go down the road great and travel through sand and mud perfectly! Very pleased!
