They kind of are like heavy equipment tires. I wonder if they come in any other sizes or widths. It would nice to get a set of tires that are hard to puncture. Right now, my tracker has this set of tire on it that are supposedly snow tires, but spin like they were bald in the snow(even though their tread is almost full), and I have a nail in the front right tire(it has a slow leak) and a staple or wire in the right rear tire(it would go flat within the day). I finally had to replace the rear one with the spare, which is a 190/75r15, while the others are a 215/75r15. At least these tires came with the car when I bought it. When I replace the tires, I will probably get some yokohama geolander A/Ts or M/Ts in 235/75R/15s(if they make that size).
Runnin' it stock with 225/75R15s and an unmodified 8valve TBI motor (I need a doug thoroley header and a cam) (more power) (1.6 liters of madness) (vroom + sewing machine sounds)

I use a set of those for my winter tires. They handle deep snow well. They are stiff. I run no more than 20 PSI or the ride is harsh. Would make ok trail tires especially if you deal with tire damaging trail objects. If you use them go with Sami wheels or those big lugs will rub on the frame.
