Good information.... if they would have tested in the mud (or deep snow).

They were reviewed in the snow and on ice.

The BFGs mentioned has 'fair ice traction and not acceptable deep snow
traction.

The Goodyear MTRs have not acceptable snow and ice traction.

They both rank in reviews in the lower half of the ratings.

Now, if you click on the individual tires it will give you a choice to read
the reviews. In the case of the BFGs there are 231 reviews, the Goodyears
have 505 reviews.

It also give you options to review other brands of tires in the same class
(off-road max traction)

If I were to purchase a set in this class I would certainly look at the
Kumhos. It is, perhaps, a brand unfamiliar to many but as I have a set of
their Venture ATs that I am very pleased with I would give then a look.

I would also reference other resources that offer information from tests and
usage such as www.offroad.com To save you the trouble I will cite the
specific web pages:
http://www.off-road.com/jeep/products/kumho/
http://www.off-road.com/jeep/products/kumho/index2.html

Over a two year period these tires were subjected to use , as they state,
intended to make them fail and fail was something they never did.

But then..... why should I mention this? Well..... the OP asked for
opinions and I directly offered the opinions of 736 people who own these
tires (231 + 505) and at in this message I added mine and the thoughts of
the reviewers at offroad.com about a brand I would consider.

Dave,
I swore you asked about BFG vs. Goodyear. Hmmm..
My two cents says, BFG for better wear, Goodyear for slightly better
performance in mud. However the other guys did make good points. I just
moved to the northeast US and allot of the hard core off-roaders I've met
here are using swampers. they all swear by them in the mud.
