I still like them, for the money, I don't think you'll find a better deal.

i put some 275/45/20 UHP back in december, and so far I am very amazed at how well they perform, i can hit it from a 10-20mph and it dead hooks! from a dead stop it spins very little then it almost just a chirp then it hooks, like said im very surprised on how good they hook so far, i probably only have 200miles on them since i bought them, i could be able to tell you how they perform after they wear out a little.... but it seems to have a soft compound almost close enough to the nitto....

+1 on these guys. Top notch tire. Very quiet on the road (and this is coming from a set of Michelin Cross Terrains which are whisper quiet), great wet traction, and sticky sticky tires, the truck doesn't get squirrelly when the rear breaks loose, it's way more controlled than with the previous Michelins or Bridgestone A/T's. And mounted, balanced, taxes and out the door for $600.

I ran the UHP's in a 275/55/17 for the rear on my truck. They are my favorite out of similar tires and perform as one would expect a tire in this category. Once you get some power behind them they don't hook but what would one expect from a street tire and a 3xx tread wear rating. I'm not buying another set as they can't put the power to the ground. Here's a pic of them after 5000 miles and a couple track outings. I never do burnouts on purpose just the tire spin from street driving under accel killed them quicker than usual.

I heard the General AT's gum up when they get wet, is that true?
