Re: BFG MT's vs. Goodyear MT/R's
siping the bfg mt isnt going to make any great difference in rock
performance.....and no amount of siping can improve the weaker sidewalls of the
bfg which ive seen split open like a pig in a cooker.
that said, i disagree that the mt/r is better in the mud than the bfg. while
the mt/r does decent in the mud, over the last 19k miles ive begun to notice
the deficit. if i were a mudder i would definately run the bfg before the
mt/r. being a rock hound i prefer the mt/r, but having run them in the past im
almost convinced that the trxus mud terrain gives you the best of both.

tha way i gage a tire is for my use ,opinions on witch tire performs better
is to the user.......my jeep is a everyday ,to work and back or the local
strip club wathever ,so on highway is just as important as deep mud seeing
the MTR's melt away on highway didn't impress me . therefor that why for 1 i
like BFG's..........for mud you beat swampers.

My experience with the BFG MT is that the center lugs can clog up in
thick goo, but the large shoulder lugs (apparently a new feature on the
KM version circa 2002) generally clear themselves enough to maintain
forward traction. Still, they ain't no boggers.

How did you find the trxus for tread wear and street manners compared to
the other two?
