you are the first person I've heard using the treadwright's are they as good as advertised? and did you get that crushed glass stuff?
I did not get the kedge grip on the first set I just replaced but I did get 40K miles out of them on my dodge 1500 with a conservative guess of half those miles being gravel 285-70-17 D rated. The second set I just installed have the kedge grip, called them and they claim it may lessen tire life a bit but figured I would try anyhow, I went back to the stock size 265/70/17 in c rated as I was tired of the rough ride of the E and D rated on my daily driver driving 45 miles of gravel to and from work 4 days a week. I have about 3k miles on the new set and love the smoother ride and traction seems good too but hard to tell if the kedge grip does any good or not running mostly gravel.
I also ordered a set of the same size 265-70-17 in e rated with the kedge grip for my 2005 2500 Dodge cummins while they were on sale waiting to finish burning off the current set before putting them on which will be my 3rd set.
I know of several people that have been running them for a lot of years before I tried them and all of them swore by them too, even have a couple co-workers who are currently trying them now too just installed in recent weeks.
Also I found that in the last year Here in Bis/Man OK tire and Northwest tire will no longer mount up carry in tires due to having too many complaints of internet bought tires not balancing up and other issues so they just quit doing it, said we sell tires too so do not want to deal with anybody else's tires. Went to Tires plus on expressway to have it done and they were happy to do it said absolutely come on in.
