But, with the IROKS, it's really only the outer tread that is directional... so tread life might not be so bad. I like the way that the inner treads and outer treads "match up" when running them backwards, as far as traction goes...
A better way to improve off road traction is putting them on some beadlocks and airing them way down...
But hey, what do I know - I'm, still running the TTB with Baja Claws... I guess we'll see with your test(s)!
2x what Jay says is right on. that is usually reserved for boggers,baja claws, and heavy directionals that are in the center of the tire treads
