Nice Runner. Hmmm, I might have to look at those when I get new tires. Is that really a Runner? It looks like just like a pickup w/ a CanBack.

That's one lucky truck, he got the allpro axle, the tent thingy, and new tires. I need to start working for the magazines!
I think the reason the MTRs are so popular is because of the on road performance compared to more aggressive mud terrains. The mtrs are decent in wet weather conditions, relatively quiet, and last a long time. For example, swampers are just as good, if not better than mtrs on the rocks and mud, but they suck on road. So, I think if they perform well on road then they might be a hit. I know the article said they are pretty quiet for a mud terrain and they are siped. Only time will tell I suppose.

I think they are more likely going for competition with the Krawler with this tire. MT/R got its ass spanked by the Krawler, as this tire will also probably. It does have a Krawler kinda tread it appears to me, with a Baja Claw sidewall.

Those new BFGs are priced so that no one without BFG sponsorship on a professional rock crawling team can afford them. Its a competition tire. If you ever see one on pavement please let us know. :pig:
