They're great for the road,snow,rain,minor mud (better than what comes on all 4wds),sand,etc. They are only short on trucks lifted over 4". They mount up onto 8"-10" wheels. They are also great for the rear of 2wd 3/4t and SRW 1t trucks running wide wheels for stability that don't need a howling off road tire with higher rolling resistance. For my truck I need 35s because I have a 6" lift. I have a set of 12.50/37-16.5 Super Swamper SSRs on 8.25" steelies and would like a set of All Terrains to mount on my 9.75 x 16.5 steelies for the beach. I also have a set of 9.75 x 16.5 aluminum slots I want to mount some 36" Ground Hawgs on just for the look (and yet another tread type...directional). The deal is,with 16.5 rims all you can get these days are mudder/swamper/bogger/hawg tires and it's nice to have a tread available for less aggressive needs. I wish they'd bring back Dick Cepek Quiet Giants.

Here's what they look like on a non-lifted '90 Blazer with 10" wheels. This was my family car and the tires were just right for what we did with it:
