-

-
You'll not go wrong with BFG MT's. Well worth the extra money for their on road manners :wink:

Until you spike the side wall with a bit of a gate :roll: :roll:
Only thing that puts me off paying out for them - the potential damage you could (very often do) do them off-road

65,000 mile, or do you mean 6,500 mile??
-
should imagine 65k but at's not on muds surely?
-
done over 40000 on mine in a year with hardly any wear , mostly on tarmac ,fully laden towing a 3.5tonne trailer , so they do last
-
i love bfg mud terrain, ours do virtually all thrashed tarmac travelling, and they just do not wearout, and drive very well onroad, plus once i do get in some mud they just keep pulling you along.
they are tops......
but i have to agree, if you do lots and lots off offroading i would go for the cheapies as it int gonna hurt quite as much when you rip one!
-
brilliant tyre, very happy with mine even though they are slightly worn now, but loads of grip on and off road :D
-
How many of those have been made in China, as most BFG's are now?
And are/or will they now be cheaper?
-
I'm killing mine with a V8 so I use AT on road and keep the MT in the shed.
They are damn good (MT) but not as good as a road tyre at the limit, especially in the rain.
And mine softened up over the first year, especially the sidewalls, so now they are better off-road but a bit wayward on it.
-
I loved my BFG MT's both on and off the road - one thing is, you had them fitted the wrong way round, i'd have thought at about £100 a corner the last thing you needed to do was give BFg free advertising as well!!! :P
-
I too replaced my BFG's with about 8mm left oon them and i had done 57,000 miles on them, its very easy to collect the miles as these are well made tyres and you get a fair amount of rubber for 100 quid a corner! I tow heavy plant regularly often in the good old british rain and I wouldn't pick any other mud terrain

Mine have MADE IN USA clearly stamped in the side of them.got them from devon 4x4 miles cheaper than anyone else.
