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?

it may, just not enough that i could notice a difference. i ran the same
trails after getting my bfg's siped and couldnt tell any noticeable
improvement. granted uwharrie isnt the rubicon.

heh.....few tires are but that can also be good. :-)

i found the trxus mud terrain to be superior to both on the street. noise was
definately less, but it really didnt seem to sacrifice much off road either. i
sold the jeep a few thousand miles after putting them on but they had no
noticeable wear over new.
