Anyone had any experience with these tires? The BFG M/T's are still a little
out of my price bracket, but for about $60 CDN less per tire, I can get the
MK XT's ...is there a "reason" these tires are price alot cheaper or is it
just a popularity name-brand thing ...?

Thanks!

Ya, that's the only one I could find, too. I'm not sure sidewall durability
will be the hugest issue for me. I don't rockcrawl at all (aside from little
3-4" rocks and stuff that are on the trail and the odd bigger stone I have
to pass ;p) ...I'm more concerned with the tires not clogging up too bad and
having some ability to get me through, or out of, muddy holes/ruts. My
Jeep's drivetrain is going to remain stock until (knock on wood) something
blows up on it and only then will I upgrade (ie: lockers, bigger engine,
etc).

So, with that said ...I'm just hoping to spend $650-700 CDN on a set of
tires that will keep me going relatively well on the trail with a
mostly-stock CJ7. If anyone has any bad experiences with these tires tho,
I'll just save up more and get the BFG M/T's ...

Thanks again!

They are BFG second line mud tires with the same tread pattern but 2 ply
sidewalls.

They are noisier than BFG's but run just fine in snow or mud on our
Canadian roads. My CJ came with them when I got it and I wore them down
to less than 1/4" with good grab still.
