BFGoodrich A/T's SUCK!

You will never see a trail rig or someone who actually offroads their vehicle with A/Ts.

oh and i also like my tires lasting me a reasonable amount of miles. THe last set of bfgs i had went almost 37000miles and i know i destroyed them offroad, so they could of easily went 60+ w/ no offroading. I would doubt that the MTs would of lasted me 25K driving the same way and is why i didnt buy a set of them 2 months ago when i got a new set of tires.

And yes M/Ts will chunk because of the softer compound and when they dig into the dirt they pull up rocks that cut into them while A/Ts will just spin on top of the dirt.
Also I didn't buy my tires for mileage but they still get around 40k out of them and they are cheaper then your BFGs.

have you ever really watched a Baja race? i would assume not since over 85% of the trucks running Baja run the BFG Baja T/A tires.....
you may get 40,000 miles out of your tire, but do you realize that 99% of people running BFG A/T tires get around 55,000 to 60,000 miles out of a set of tires? so in the time a BFG A/T wears out, you have bought 2 sets of tires....hmmmmm do the math on that 1.....the prices are about the same in the long run...

one shouldnt calulate buying tires on thier mileage ratings. from new to bald mileage is usless, as your buying these tires for performance of some sort. after so many miles their will be no more performance over any other tire of a different kind.
I think this whole last page of arguments is retarded.
Lets try to agree on something:
A/Ts are a good allterrain tires. Mud they are not.
M/Ts are a good everywhere tire. They <3 mud
Who cares what baja racers use. We're kinda specifying tire effects in mud.
As to BFG A/Ts versus other brands. In my opinion they're quite often the same exact thing.

It's talking about their offroad use. I wouldn't buy tires for mileage anyways. Unless it is 20K miles versus 50K miles. That is quite a difference.

Although most trucks do use the Baja A/T there are also alot who run the Baja M/T but they don't last nearly as long as the A/T.
And I'm not trying to defend the mileage for a M/T because it's crap compared to the A/T but I bought my tires for performance.

Even though I will be retiring my tuck from the hardcore offroad trails my next set of tires will be X-terrains mainly because they look awsome but they will still be able to get me around the minor trails. As for my sami or jeep SUPER SWAMPERS.
