BFG all the way...my cousin has the M/T's on his P.U and they look good and most of all there performance is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!
The road noise is high but you will be doing mostly wheeling probably... My cousin has had those tires for about 20-30k miles and there is some wear on them but still plenty to grip REAL well! They only do a little worse than my A/T's...I mean they definately aren't as good but BFG's tend to last a long, long, long time!!!!!!! Go for the BFG man!!! :rockband:

I just had a set of Avon MT SXT's installed today at Les Schwab. I started a thread here:
http://www.yotatech.com/showthread.p...threadid=14530 And a straight pic of the tire is here: http://www.lesschwab.com/tires/light_suv/mt_sxt.html I won't have a chance to play with them in the dirt until the first weekend in August, but I can't imagine that they're gonna be anything short of fun-tastic.

I have the new BFG MT km's and really like them. A lot less road noise than the old BFG MTs. My mileage seems to be better than almost everyone on this forum, so I'm not sure what I'm doing right but I hope it stays that way. The difference on my truck between running 235/70/15 light truck tires and the 31x10.5 BFGs is about 6 or 7 MPG, not taking into account the larger tire size. If you account for the tire size to correct my odometer, I'm guessing I drop about 3 or 4 MPG from the wider tire and more aggressive tread. I have no complaints on their performance off road in any conditions.

I have been happy with my bfg mt km's. I have the 33x12.50's on my taco and they are wearing well. I drive 42 miles one way to work on the highway and they are quite unless I am hauling something but even then they are not very noisy. I've got about 25k miles and expect to get atleast that much more out of them. They are a little slick on wet pavement and that took some getting used to. I will by them again when the time comes.

My BFG Mud (not KM's I don’t think they were out yet) only lasted 13,500 Miles. They are quite smooth now and desperately in need of changing. I even Sipied what was left of the lugs about a month ago to give them a little more traction on wet asphalt.
The only good thing about worn out Mudders is that they don't fling **it all over your vehicle when you get stuck in the sticky stuff, and have to winch your way out. Then again if they were in good condition I probably would not have had to winch out :pat:Anyone have an online source for BFG's at a good price. I think this time I will go with AT's seeing how quickly the Mud wore out on me... Looking for 265 75 R16. Thanx

I'm gonna go with BFG's or Goodyear. Both of which I have good experiences with. I had Dunlop Radial Rovers on my Explorer and they were really crappy. They only lasted a year. I know you are looking at a different tread, but I still will never buy any Dunlops ever again.

Here's my $.02. I run the Bridgestone Dueler MT"'s (32x11.5x15) on my '99 4Runner. After 12k miles they show very little wear, they'll go at least 50k. I have had Bridgestone Dueler MT's on my Z-71 also, in a 285 size. I got 70k miles out of them. Currently I have Mud Kings in a 285 on the Z-71 and they are worn out with 85k miles, yes that is correct 85k miles. They don't handle good for the first 5k miles, but after that they are great offroad and not real noisy onroad. I'll probably get another set of Mud Kings for it b/c in 285 they are $596, mounted, balanced, tax included. Oh yeah, the Z-71 sees plenty of abuse, it goes offroad everyday, pulls heavy trailers frequently and goes about 60k miles a year, so the tires I run on it are well tested.

ive got about 2k miles on my dunlops and they show almost no sign of wear yet. id challenge a set of BFGs in the mudd anyday. they are also roughly 50 bucks a tire cheaper, so you have to calculate that into your "mileage" debate. thats like buy 2 get 1 free
a set of 4 will cost you ~390 instead of over ~ 600! with the bfgs you pay extra for the name cause they have good marketing strategywhen we find some mudd at Uwharrie you'll see how well they work

Thanks guys, the votes are splt 50 50 b/w the BFGs and the MT/Rs yet none of the Goodyear crew spoke up. Oh well guess that will teach me to try a poll, everyone I have ever posted has been split almost down the middle. But I will have to shop around and see what I can get out of my old BFG AT's with the wheels, if I can get enough I might be able to go hih $$$ but not until I seethe $$$ from the sale.
NCSU I can't wait to see your rig perfom, I'll be spotting and watching with the camera so make sure not to get stuck. Nah but serisouly I asked off from work today and I'm getting anxious about the trip already. I'll let you know ASAP if I'm ging to need a ride or not.

NCSU-Runner: Are your Dunlop Mud Runner's loud on the pavement/highway? What about rain/wet stability? Thanks

Oh yeah, I also briefly owned some Goodyear MTR's, but I sold them right after I got them b/c they are terrible in the mud. They may good in the rocks, I don't know that for sure b/c there are no rocks in Central Alabama, but they are not good in the mud.

BFG's ALL THE WAY!!
I have three sets of them(3 vehicle's all with BFG's!) I have one Radial All Terrain set (on my Runner), one BFG M/T on my Silverado, and one A/T KO set on my Dad's 2003 Ram. AWESOME TIRES!!! They have NEVER let me down! And those M/T's!!! NOTHING STOPS THEM!!! Not even a 3 1/2" Decking Screw...I found it jabbed into the sidewall but it only went in a little because of the INCREDIBLE sidewall protection these things have on them!!! BFG M/T's all the way! Well there are my .02!

I think you really need to take into concideration how much wheelin you do. Because your mileage greatly depends on that. If you wheel a lot, then of course your tread will detiorate a lot faster than if you just do city and highway driving mostly.
I hear everybody saying that the bfg a/t's lasting for at least 40k, but after a few wheelin trips, my bfg a/t's don't look like they'll last for 40k, I hope they do, but I'm not sure So I think you should think about that too and all the responses you get

I have Wild Country TXRs but also may be in the market to get better tires for mud purposes. My TXRs hold up in the dirt just fine but I have yet to play in the mud due to the dry summer weve had. Anyone have an opinion on TXRs?
