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.

youve heard correct. @19000 miles mine still have a fair amount of life left
in them, but theyre showing a lot more wear than my bfg's of comparable
mileage. i can also state with assurity that the mt/r's are _totally_
unforgiving if you miss a single rotation. still, when its time to buy tires
again ill replace them with mt/r's but only because i like rocks. :-)

Re: BFG MT's vs. Goodyear MT/R's
My baby needs new shoes too, so during the Moab Easter Jeep safari I watched how
well the different tires behaved on the slick rock. The MT/R's were universally
better than the BFG MT's. On every obstacle I could tell which Jeeps had MT/R's
vs anything else by how they went up, down or across the obstacle. The MT/R's
were better on dry slick rock, wet slick rock, and mud. But the MT/R owners did
mention that they seemed to be getting torn up and wearing faster than the other
tires.
If the BFG MT's wear as well as my BFG AT's, 40,000+ miles and probably another
10,000 to go, the BFG MT's might be your best choice.

That said I'm buying the MT/R's. They were THAT much better on the rocks.
