Acording to this the BFG are 3 ply sidewall
http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/asset...rain_ta_km.pdf
and the others are probably 2 ply sidewall.

If you don't do rocks and do do mud, you probably won't notice a lot of
difference. I run the "Radial Baja" mud tire, work fine for my use in
the muddly logging roads.

So BFGoodrich makes the Phantom brand.
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/bfg/bfg.jsp

Searched a bit more but even tirerack.com doesn't list the phantom.
They do list the T/A KM
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....rrain+T%2FA+KM

Although that tire looks more like the General Grabber MT
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....del=Grabber+MT
Which doesn't have a very good rating at tirerack.

Here is the full list.

I buy several sets of these a month! They are decent tires but remember to
rotate every 3K miles or they will cup and get out-of-round I have found
them to be quiet as well
