New tire decision
 

I am in need of new tires for the jeep. I was looking at the BFG
Mud-Terrain and the Pro-Comp Mud-Terrain. I have experience with BFG
All-Terrains but neither of the mud-terrains from BFG or Pro-Comp. Any one
have any experience with either of these tires? How do they act on and off
road? What about the tire life?

I want to go with a 32x11.5 tire but have decided against it because my
gearing is too high (3.07)and will be using a 31x 10.5 tire. Also 15x8
Tech1 Black Rock Crawlers will be going on.

I run the 32x11.50 BFG Mud Terrain tires, the old style not the new KMs that
roughly correlate to the All Terrain KO. You might recall that the A/Ts
recently became A/T KO, well the M/Ts are now M/T KM. Your choice of rim
size is good.

I do not think the MTs wear as well as the ATs, but others will disagree
with me on this point. My CJ is not my daily driver, so when I take it out
of the barn, I generally drive it slow and easy on the street. If I drove it
everyday, I would drive it differently, and could give you a better report
on the manners. Since I drive slow, the manners are great.

Re: New tire decision
 

I've got about 38,000 miles on my BFG MT's and they've been great. I
commute 70 miles round trip daily, and they are wearing well have
surprisingly good street manners. I almost went the AT route since I
put on so many miles on pavement, but I've had no regrets that I went
with the MT's.

Re: New tire decision
 

I bought my jeep a year ago, give or take a couple days. It already
had the 33x12.5 Pro-Comp MT tires on it at that time. The tread looked
good; it was definitely a half inch deep, if not close to that.

Well, after a year of driving (approx. 12 to 15 thousand miles as a
daily driver, often seeing 70 MPH on the freeway, but also going
off-road at 15psi every weekend for 4+ months during the summer), the
MTs are looking pretty thin. The tread depth is getting pretty low
(sorry, no exact measurement for you); it must be no more than 1/8" or
so (best guess). I've kept it aligned and rotated the tires, so the
wear would seem to be what would be expected "par for the course".

I have not tried the BFG tires, though, so I can't speak to the
comparison between the two brands. I would be interested to hear from
people who do use BFG MT tires as well, so I can decide if I want to
use them when I replace my tires (which will most likely happen this
next spring).
