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.

What size?
I bought 31" Goodyear MT/R's for $173.59 ea. on sale at Just Jeeps (before
balance/taxes). They ended up being cheaper than BFG's (AT & MT) and that
made my decision. I don't think you can go wrong with either of the three
but if it's mostly street, BFG AT's might be your best bet.

Re: BFG vs Wrangler
Well, GY MT/Rs are built for "Multi Terrain" (as opposed to the
nominclature "Mud Terrain" and should be considered an "All Terrain"
tire), although they do well above average in mud, their strength is
rocks...BFG AT KO's weakness is mud. For a street/trail tire I'd say
the BFG AT KOs come out ahead, whereas the MT/Rs get a nod offroad and
perform better on rocks and mud than the BFG.
