Re: BFG MT's vs. Goodyear MT/R's
You make really good points.
Despite how good my BFG muds are in the winter, Snowboardripper is the
only one to cleanly beat me on a winter hill climb!
It was on an ice riverbank climb on a trail and he just purred up it
with those Roughriders with his arm out the window hooting. 'Everyone'
else had to be winched out of that ravine.
Didn't even get any good photos, it was so cold my camera froze up.

I had to make this decision last year and went with the BFGs, simply beacuse
I've gotten great performance from them on several Jeeps and they were at
the time a lot less expensive, like $60 a tire for 35s.

Re: BFG MT's vs. Goodyear MT/R's
the mt/r has a much stronger sidewall and im very pleased with mine, but if
youre not a rock crawler i think the mt/r would be a waste of money that could
be better spent elsewhere. ive owned bfg's in the past with great success and
for your intended uses i think you would be better served with them.

Re: BFG MT's vs. Goodyear MT/R's
I've heard that Goodyear MT/R's wear out faster than BFG's. At $40.00 more
than BFG's the Goodyear tires lost out to BFG. As a side note I thought
about the Pro Comp MT tire which is very similar in "appearance" to the BFG
MT except the tread blocks are siped making for better rain traction. The
manager at the 4 Wheel Parts place (which owns the Pro-Comp line) advised me
the BFG's last longer and are better off road.
