Thumbs up Loving the BFG AT'S

I have had my BFG AT's for a week now and don't now how I lived with out them. My Mountaineer rides so much better. Now if I can fit some new shocks in to the budgit life will realy be good.

Glad to hear that you are so happy with the BFG's.... I have Wrangler RT/S's and I was trying to explain to my wife that not only did I want the 32's (BFG AT's) that I found for sale..... But they were a vast improvement on tires over what I had. She couldn't understand?????!!
I think that once I wax these Goodyears, I will never own one of their highway tires again.

I know what you mean by the Good Years. I don't know if you read my thread about BFG's the hard way so I will not repeat it here as it was kind of long. I have never liked Good Years. I had a set on an 85 Bronco II with the 2.8 V6 and 5 speed and it would spin the tires in the rain through 3rd gear.

Glad you like them!

I totally abuse mine. I take them through everything. They haven't let me down once.

Yeah I do remember that post Dan. And I remember that when I read it... I was thinking about how crappy my traction is, when the ground is damp or wet. The only good thing is, I can smoke'm all day... but even that gets old. I am excited about the 32's that I should be getting Monday.... I only hope that I don't regret the size and rub too much. I will finally own BFG's again!!!!
