Seems like the split could be people who live in the Southwest and use them in more desert/loose gravel conditions really dig em because they perform well there, and their sidewalls easily handle airing down.I’m always baffled at the split between BFG folks
50% of folks swear their the best thing since sliced bread and 50% swear Satan himself made them.
I have several friends that have had brand new BFGs basically fall apart within 10k and I have several friends that swear by them and won’t use anything else.
Seems BFG has a major quality control issue.
They’re either amazing or trash. Seems like a dice roll.
Tires aren’t something I’m willing to roll dice on.
YMMV
And conversely, people who live where it rains a lot probably don’t like them on wet roads as much with the less flexible siping. Especially if they wear through that soft outer rubber and get to the more inflexible compound underneath.
That has to account for at least some of the polarity if not most of it.
People also generally really like to stick up for whatever tires they’re currently using.
