IMHO, I would only install them if the vehicle is to be used 100% off
road in the mud, dirt, or sand. They are not a wise choice for on the
street or a daily driver. I use only stock tires on the street. Much
better in wet and ice because the foot print is smaller and they get
better traction. I got stuck on the side of a mountain once with big
tires. Never again.
