Re: Goodyear MT/R's for BFG Mud Terrain's
Hi Lee,
Most tire specialists will recommend same side rotation for radials.
With my current set of MTs I chose instead to do a five tire cross
rotation like this:
SPARE->RR
RR->RF
RF->LR
LR->LF
LF->SPARE
I rotate religiously every 5000 km and I have had zero issues with
uneven wear.

Re: Goodyear MT/R's for BFG Mud Terrain's
Thanks for all the help. I am gonna go with the BFG's. I plan on getting a
rocky-road outfitters 2" lift kit. 1.5" shackles with 1/2" block for the
rear, 2" coil spacers for the front.
Will this give me enough clearance?
Thanks,

Re: Goodyear MT/R's for BFG Mud Terrain's
I just bought some slightly used BFG MTs (33x12.5) and they're awesome on
the road (all I've used them for.. until this weekend gets here!) -- not
nearly as loud as the ProComp MTs I had. Much smoother ride too.

the road (all I've used them for.. until this weekend gets here!) -- not
nearly as loud as the ProComp MTs I had. Much smoother ride too.

Re: Goodyear MT/R's for BFG Mud Terrain's
Funny -- I read a national article in the local newspaper, from two
mechanics, that rotating the tires is pretty useless. That the only reason
shops do it is to make more money. They said they'd never pay to rotate the
tires unless you got the service for free and were there for something else.
Said it really didn't make much of a difference at all.
I don't know how true that is, but it sorta makes sense. If you rotate
them, they have to "get used to" they're new spot on the vehicle and will
wear quickly for a few miles to settle in. Do that enough times, and those
little "wear-in" sessions would add up.
I'm not a tire expert -- just my thoughts on it.
