What should I get???????

Well I have run both in the past and they both have good and bad ponts to each. So witch should I go with? Goodyear MTR's or BFG Mud Terrains. Currently I'am runnig on 33 12.50 MTR's. It is time for new tires.

I've run both, and in Oregon mud I think they grip the same. In anything else, it doesn't much matter does it... The BFG Mts are quieter on the highway. They seemed to wear the same. I bought Pro Comp MTs last week, so in a year I can tell you how they do. By the way, I was quoted a phenominal price at Walmart for 35" BFG MTs - $625 installed! You might check them. Cota$$$$ has the right idea...

Well my BFG's have balanced better than any MT I have ever had, and I have heard some horror stories about balancing the MTR's. I have seen the MTR's in action in mud and I was not impressed by the least, but of course their reputation on the rocks is a completely different story. I have not personally had my BFG's on what I would consider rocky terrain so I couldn't comment on that, but they are amazing in the mud and they ride well on road too. It's really up to what kind of terrain you are on and what you are looking to get out of a tire. Since you've driven both, you probably have the best idea of which works for you,therefore, you should be able to make a pretty educated decision. And if all else fails, buy the cheaper one or go with some Bridgestone Revo's
