I had high hopes for them on the Pioneer.
I have replaced 6 since 2019. Mostly tire pinches and currently one has 2 knots in the side. I have my final replacement here and will not be ordering another.

I could not get them to seal on bead locks because the tire bead ring was to thin. Sold them for what i could get, won't make that mistake again. Currently running goodyear authority's from walmart at about $120 each, will do it again as these wear out.

Been running the 30x10/15 on beadlocks from day 1. No problems. Will probably buy another set. Work good on rocks and sand when let down, and go down the pavement just fine at 60 mph

30x10x15s non-beadlocks here, with usually 11-12 PSI and a 32oz bottle of FlatOut in 'em. While they do wear much better than stock, they are still softer tires that the locked rear axle on pavement eats for breakfast. I do a lot of high speed street driving to get to some trails though, and I'm addicted to drifting through the turns on the sandy/gravely trails I mostly run. After about 5k miles, I did get a small sidewall puncture that the tire goo stopped; it likely would have happened to any tire, but these got me home safe. That tire was about 3/4 worn, so I wasn't too upset with having to toss it. The 10 ply construction does seem strong enough for me to go out alone into the wilderness and not worry about getting stuck with a flat, that's why I chose them.

In snow, they will take me up mountains until I'm on the skidplate. I don't have deep gumbo mud here, but they will get me through the slicker-than-owl-snot stuff I do see without issue or drama, usually in 2WD. 5 of 6 balanced just fine, with the 6th needing extra weight to get close, and the shop couldn't get it perfect even using the roadforce thingy. That tire works fine, though, at 55 MPH on the road, and I don't even notice it on the trail. I will likely keep buying them as I haven't run into any negatives yet.

What also works very well for a tire sealer is sta flo liquid starch. You can only get it at Walmart. $3 for 65 oz.
