wheeling and new tires

I went muddin a few weeks back.. this is the only picture i have, but someone was taking them at the park i went to. After the trip i immediately bought tires because of how much i needed them.. so heres the muddy picture and the new tires..

also, who knows of anywhere good to mud in illinois? other than the cliffs insane terrain









the tires are 32's. they rub very slightly.. im thinking about either takin out the sledge or lifting an inch, i havent decided yet

yeah, wait till you get those MTs spinning in the mud

you haven't seen your truck dirty yet...

I thought my chepo all-terrains would get my truck dirty, but they would just coat it in muddy water; I threw a set of Boggers on once, and the truck was covered in HUGE chunks, lol

Those are the original bfg mud terrains.. they are much cheaper than the new ones, i only paid 165 a tire.. i havent gotten a chance to test them offroad yet, but anything will be better than those street tires. As soon as i hit mud, they turned into slicks.. they were packed with mud throughout the entire trip, they didnt throw anything off.. I only got stuck twice though. I cant wait to get these tires out there, and they look so badasss. Thanks for all the compliments guys

You will love those tires! They are amazing in the mud/general offroad. They blow a/t tires away.. I love mine
They only have one downside, their rain/snow handling leaves a little to be desiered... but I can deal with it.

I heard that the BFG mud terrain KM1 is only a few bucks cheaper then the KM2... or perhaps its just around here. We always get shafted with prices

I'll have to disagree Jay351. I've been running a set of those old BFG mudders for a while (7-8 years) and I think they do great in the snow. I've driven in the mountains to go skiing on snowpacked roads in two wheel drive with V8 power. I think the key to snow/ice handling is having the two middle bars of the tire (not the outer ones) siped at your local tire shop. I've seen that a lot out here on DD/wheelers.

BTW...Those are sweet tires. I think the best off-road tire until you get to Swampers, of course.

So far i love them. I have had them in the rain though.. and they arent that great, but then again, neither is any other mud tire. I havent had a chance to take them offroad yet, but im dying to try them out. All of my friends run bfgs and told me they are the way to go, so i got em.

racedirt, im in aurora. Where are you at?

I always wanted those bfgs but im happy with what i ended up getting.

I want to try the new km2's or the krawlers.

idk, i might stick with interco tires, since they stick to everything! lol

No lift right? Right now I have 31s and a 2 inch lift, But I'll need to be getting new tires soon. I think I might go with some mudders like those. They look pretty sweet on there.
