aside from everything else, they are mud tires, so they are going to be loud on the highway, less than ideal traction quality in "other road conditions" like snow, gravel, pavement etc. faster wear and so on. but if your ok with all those then go for it.

But, if you take a set of solid tread block mudders and sipe them, they become the swiss army knife of tires.
IMO, siped mudders are about the best "all conditions" tire, especially in mountainous areas where one might experience "all conditions" on a regular basis. They wear considerably better than dedicated snow/ice tires, they have most of the traction of dedicated snows. Can stud most of them if that's your thing. Long wearing, generally hard compound tread. Best in mud and best in general off road duty.
Yes they are louder and sap a little fuel mileage compared to pavement princess tires, but that's the only downsides, IMO, unless you own a truck that eats front tires and don't align the front end.
