Re: BFG vs Wrangler
Well, it is a daily driver....and my hearing can suffer no worse.
I use the jeep for fun on weekends....but am in the snow/ice belt up here in
Barrie, Ontario.
MT's do look cool too!
So, I'd go with AT's if MT's have too many cons!

Re: BFG vs Wrangler
If it was a daily driver, I'd go with (and have both) BFG ATs or GY
MT/Rs. You can't go wrong. The MT/Rs will be better in mud than the BFG
ATs though.
