How do they ride, how well did they balance, are they radials?

the ride really smooth. 3 of them balanced perfect, 1 is within a 1/4 ounce. there's no "out of balance" wobble while driving.

they are radials.

typical hum from the large tread pattern, i almost wish they were a little louder.

There is no MUD TERRAIN tire that will last very long on pavement use.

Both of my trucks have mudders. The bronco with the 35"BFG Mud-Terrains,
and the Pickup with the 33" Super Swampers.

Both are loud on the road, but I think the Super Swampers are much more asphalt friendly. (not in wear patterns, but in general smoothness)

In my experience, I like the cooper tires, or even the Goodyear's versions of mudders.

i thouroughly enjoyed by BFG M/Ts excellent wear, quieter then my SXs, and still did good on and off road. Now since my rig is not a DD i will not give up my swampers.

i don't know how long they will last, but living in the land of rich folks i see these tires every day on 3/4 and 1 ton trucks. they seem to last quite a while.

being radial, i would expect somewhere in the neighborhood of 25k before they lose off road ability.

At $300 a tire, that's about $21 a mile for the set.:shocked And, I doubt you're getting that many miles out of those. Guess you got money to leave on the pavement.

There is no MUD TERRAIN tire that will last very long on pavement use.I get about 40,000 miles a set from 35" BFG MT's on the Bronco and 60,000 miles out of 32" BFG MT's on Mr Ranger.

That seams like a preatty long time to me, especialy for a mud tire.

Geez, both of you are wrong.

25000/300= 83 miles per $1.00

ok im not gonna figure the mil per $ but my bfg's mt's been on for a year and a half 12,000 and no noticable tread wear and an AWESOME ride.

Both of us are right. It's $300 per tire. Each tire gets 25,000 of life out of it. 25000/300 = 83 miles per dollar.

So the guy driving with more tires is paying more per mile. I'll just stick with my one-wheeled truck. I won't get too far with it but I'm getting more miles per dollar for it :toothless

holy shit can we keep this a "product review" thread please? who cares how much it cost to go a mile? if i was worried about that, i'd drive some tin can import.
