BFG MUDS OR AT'S??

[Josh S.]

Yo-I will be on the market for some new tires in a couple weeks so I was wondering what you guys thought. I've narrowed my horizons down to 2 tires. BFG Mud terrains km or BFG all terrains KO. MY rims are 15x10 and I got 5.5 susp. lift and front glass. I was going to go w/ 33"x15"x 12.50". I don't really want to go bigger cuz I don't got the cash to regear and all that.

By the way, I mainly do trail driving, but I love muddin' so when I get set up I want to do some minor mud action-not huge bogs or nothin, just big puddles where theres still a risk of getting stuck.

I will do some desert stuff, but no high-speed jumping stuff most likely cuz my truck can't handle it. Basically, to sum it up, I want a tire that has great traction in the dirt, rocks, a little sand, and some mud. BTW, I don't mind tire noise on the road. thanks

Both BFG tires have poor mud traction so I don't know what to tell ya. If you don't mind spinning them, they will clean out though. I say get the AT's.

How much mud is there within 300 miles of Santa Ana?!? ;confused: Or did you relocate and not change your profile?
I say get the muds. They're not Swampers, but they will be fine for what you do.

I would get the muds. They are good for everything!

Muds! They're awesome

Go for the muds then groove them out. I have done this to one of mine. I need to do the other 3 yet.

 

[BUCHVILLEMAN]

A Tire groover... Just do a search on Summit's site and you will find one. They are pretty handy.

RangerX, the place I mainly like to go is in Corona off the 91. During the rains, this place can get pretty muddy. I tried going up a trail with my michelins a few months ago when it wasn't even that wet, and I ended up sliding everywhere, and getting into a somewhat precarious situation. Along the fireroads up there, there have been quite a few stretches of deep clay mud, it just doesn't happen that often, especially now in summer. I have also heard of a place up the 15 and 210 or something, I think it might be called azusa or something. I think it might be an orv park, but I've heard from several different people at 4wheel stores that there is some serious mud bogging there with a big pit and stuff too. I haven't been, but would like to check it out.

Anyways, thanks for the replies guys, they really are helping me make a decision. I'm still leaning towards the muds, but I think they are on backorder till about mid-august. Thanks!

 

[BUCHVILLEMAN]

if they are on back order try sams club or sears. they got my tires overnight from one of their other stores (sears) that had them on the shelf.

Sweet dude! I'll check that out. Thanks a bunch.
