Has anyone in the pacwest ever run any of the at or mt tires that less shwab offers?

I ran a used set of MT on my Bronco 2 a few years back. The tires didn't bounce me around, but they were a little noisy, but they were 60% worn.

I have a set of 35X12.5 Wild Country TXR's from there that I am pleased with. They are not the most aggressive tire out there by far, but they have served me well.

I started runng Schwabs back in the 70's working for a mineral exploration outfit. Mostly because they're all over the PNW. I've had really good luck with their tires/service etc. I've got a set of 33x9.5 TXR's on my truck now and really like them. I'm also running Schwabs on my CJ and XJ(can't remember which models though).

Thanks for the feedback. They have the best service I have ever received from a auto shop of any kind, I just haven't read much about the off road tires they sell, I think I'll stick with them.

No warranty hassel ever with them and no stooopid questions when you roll in with a 4x4 with 33's..."Have you ever driven your car on a unpaved road...?" DUH?
I've been happy with "all" their shops I've dealt with in the west and don't plan to change brands until their quality or service goes downhill but after near 30 years so far so good. ;)

Biggest praise for Les Schwab... My brother buys tires for his bronco, toyota, and jeep cj from them. He is the ultimate picky bastard!

I've been very pleased, especially with their APT rain series on a f150 I had. My dad runs the same on his now, and I'll probably replace ny new f150's tires with those again. (not the best for heavy mud though, But I was driving 140 miles round trip on the gorge daily)
