I ran a old set of 12-15's on a CJ I had like 25 years ago..I don't know how the Buckshot of today compares but mine back then where LOUD!..did OK off road and lasted OK.

When I say loud I mean like bias TSL loud.

I had a set of those on my CJ-5 many moons ago, they also sucked on wet roads. If they are going on a DD there are a lot of well behaved M/T tires on the market.

I had some q78x15 and there were taller than all of the 35 I seen. They did great and would still be running them if they make them in larger sizes. I think there is a larger size(r78 I think) that is about 37in tall.

I had the P78 on my XJ when I bought it, about 33-34".

They were great for what they were: a budget bias-ply. They gripped pretty well, rode kinda noisy, and flatspotted in the cold.

I never hurt one, but I didn't beat em all that hard, either.

Great all around offroad tire but I would not recommend them for a DD as stated above, they suck on wet roads

harder compound than super swamper but priced well.
