    Fuel-Gripper_MT_A1_500.png Just found these on the internet. They are the Fuel Gripper M/T. I'm interested in info from people that have used these tires, even if they never left pavement. How well they performed off road, what they where like on road, what kind of mileage the tire actually got before it needed replacement, or any other related info. Thanks in advance

    I know a few guys that have had them and they liked them, never really took them offered though. Downfall is their price tag...

    Looks like the extreme shock of tires. Just. Hokey. I could be wrong though.

    You may think you're a real bro, but if you don't run those tires you're just a poser.

    Brand seems to be the big issue here. Yes made by the same people that make Fuel Rims, but I have never heard
    anything bad about the wheels. Seem to be a popular brand, as far as brands go. Just wondering if the tires are quality, separate from
    the brand. Is it because they are over-priced and not worth the money or because there are better tires
    for the money out there.

    There's a few reasons you haven't received much feed back on them. That main reason is that you can get 2 sets of high quality tires for the price of 1 set of these.

    Surprised they even make um as small as 17 inch wheel. Figured 20 and above considering the wheels they make
