Who here has run them and or currently runs them? I am looking for a cheap 38" or bigger tire for my D60 swap. Any first hand experience? I searched but found little info at all. I know they are not going to grip like my IROK's but $400-$500 is easyer to digest at this time of year.

D60 front and rear. Been sitting in the shop for 6 months or more. Was waiting till I found $$$ for tires and wheels. EVentually I'll either run a bogger rear with tsl front or something in the 38 - 40 range like a BFG KM2 or IROC's.
 
You can get used 38-40s for 6-700....For a street ride XMLs are cool, they bring teh suck off road.
 
They run 50,000 miles on the street. At low airpressure in a full size rig they do flex decently. They suck on wet rock, but do decent when dry.
 
I'm running the XL's on a full-size Cherokee and they pretty much suck all around... heavy as hell, don't bite at all in the wet, the sidewalls are so stiff that they lose air when I try to run them aired down.
