Thanks for that. That is very interesting what he said. I really love my BFG AT KO's. Thet are great Off road.Just stopped by Desert Rat for the rep's preference between BFG ATs (or MTs) and the Goodyear MT/R. ÊDesert Rat down here in Tucson sells both (though doesn't list the Goodyear tires on its Website).
Here's what he said: ÊIf on the road more than 50% with the vehicle, BFG ATs are the way to go---best all-around performance and wear. ÊGoodyear MT/Rs have stronger sidewalls, better for straight off-road, but BFG ATs are still very good.
Here's the clincher for me: ÊBFG ATs can expect to get at least 40K, while Goodyear MT/Rs only 20K (at least according to this guy for use around Tucson). ÊWhen both tires (from Desert Rat) run about $200 a piece for 285/75 R16 (or $930 for 5 installed), an additional $1K every 20K miles is a lot.
I'm not personally interested in the BFG MTs because snow and mud are, alas, not an issue down here.
