Found out today the hardway there's a national backorder on MT/Rs right now and was offered a set of BF KMs for dirt to ease my woes since Discount Tire forgot to tell me when I placed the order last week.

That's fine, good tires regardless Great price

35-12.50-15s









Just a sticker, but funny.



Now, where's the Saws All

thats funny, i just ordered a set of mtr's in 33" and the guy said that the bfg's were on national backorder. i'm not sure why because i hadnt intended on getting the bfg's in the first place. maybe he just wanted to show off his insider info.

Had to wash a spot to put on a sticker eh?

Yep, I tried to get another 35/12.50 and they said they were on backorder...MT/Rs...I'll just wait cause I hate BFGs...I might run them if they were free, but that is about it...and I work across the road from the plant!

JuttyShabango

Of course, wouldn't stick otherwise. I don't know how long the backorder is but it sounds like it's just with this size. I've had a couple sets of MT/Rs in the past and they are a damn good tire. Curious to compare them to these. Eh..we'll see

lee

my tire place cant get me mt/rs for 2 months...

so im gonna wait a while.

Just curious why you hate BFGs?

Last set I had didn't last 15K and on the same vehicle my Goodyears lasted 68K...you decide...

I have BFG's Brian, I just turned over 15K miles on them and they aren't even near half-way worn. You must have run them under pressure and sliding em around like the Duke's of Hazzard.

By the way Jutty the tires look awesome, looks like you need to make some room for them though.

I work ACROSS the street from the plant that makes BFGs in Tuscaloosa, AL and could get the BFGs at half the price of MT/Rs....but then I'd just have to buy two sets to last as long as one set of MT/Rs...personal preference I guess.

Those meats do look nice, clean tires on a dirty truck...

i had bfg's a/t's. Tread at 20k was still 65% left. Just the rain/snow traction blew. So now I have Revos

Maxxis answer to the MT/R. A friend of mine already has them in 33's and they rock! I'm getting 35's on Thursday so I'll post some pics, but with ridiculous prices and availability of MT/R's, I think these are the answer!

Man, those BFG's look good on there. Those Maxxis tires look pretty good, too.

Thanks guys, making room for them now is going to be the plan for sure. Gonna add a couple leaves and do some fender trimming with the hopes of keeping the truck as low to the ground as possible.

Not really worried about mileage with a MT. Compared to the boggers I used to run these will last a lifetime

I have all the confidence in the world they will do the job with flying colors.

They'll do the job and then some, plus if you hit any mud at all you'll be glad you got the BFG's and not the MTR's-the MTR's are probably the worst mud tire in mud.

JuttyShabango

That's what I've been hearin' from the BF owners I know. And since most of us live where there's mud. Well. You decide

For driving on the road, they are bar none the quitest and smoothest riding MT I've ever owned. Amazed at there road manners.

Hitting the trails Sunday.

I've noticed that my tires run great on the road as well. I've been through a few sets of MT's and these are by far the quietest and smoothest riding.

Finally found this thread. Man those tires look sweet! I think you'll be happy with them

Yeah mine are really quiet too. I have had BFG MT's, Bridgestone Dueler MT's, Mud Kings, and MTR's (briefly) and the BFG's are by far the quietest and the best offroad. MTR's may be slightly better in dry rocks.
