DC Mud Country vs BFG M/Ts ??

[ron0429]

Hey everyone. I just got my 93 up 6 inches, but shes still sitting on 29's! Screw that i want some 35s. I have my eyes on the DC Mud Country 35X12.50s Walmart has a special on them for 215$ a tire which, simply, cannot be beat in terms of price and value(http://www.walmart.com/ip/Dick-Cepek-Mud-Country-Tire-35X12.50R15-6-113Q-BW/19889488). Now on the other hand Walmart has the BFG MTs at a pretty decent price as well. i Know the bfg's hold their reputation but has anyone had the DC's on their rig. I can tell theyd flush mud out easier and they look a bit more aggressive but im worried about the treadlife on them. Once i get my ride finished up with the fresh shoes ill upload some more pictures for you guys! Let me get some of your input on these tires. Thanks!

Never ran dc but loved every set of bf I've ever owned.ran the crap out my last set of muds and sold them.still looked really good and also never had issues with balancing them..

Look at Hankook M/T. Just put some on my tow rig and like them. Heard great things about them and you can them at a good price.

One thing here.. If you are going to get the tires from Walmart, take them the rims OFF the vehicle.

Tell them it is going on a ranger or a jeep.. If they hear explorer they won't install anything that isn't in their book..

This isn't all Walmarts but many seem to have this issue.

Another thing..your ""probably"" going to have to loose that side molding and probably trim to clear 35s..I rubbed with 33s bfg mt with 5.5" of lift.I had aftermarket rims to tho,15x10 and forget the offset but was DC2

The BFG's are much quieter on the highway.

Cepeks roared like a F-18 super hornet at take off,,, , full after-burner!

If that's a concern for ya.

Haha the sound doesn't bother me i like people hearinnme coming up so they sontnget any ideas to cut me off . I think I'm gonna stick with the DCs they look like they'd perform better. And are costing me less than the bfs. Ill upload some pics of the finished rig in another topic when she's got new shoes on haha
Oh and mark, i know theyre asshats.. even when i ordered my tires you see in the pic above, they told me they couldnt sell them to me because the aspect ration was too high or some bullcrap. he was trying to offer me other tires hahah.. Like no bro i want those. i said cancel my order then he seemed a little butt hurt but then walmart had the tires at a better price and saved the day. but i will be having a private shop install the tires so i dont get **** from walmart too.

That lift looks good homie. I'd go with the BFG's personally.

Thanks explorinva. That trip to Virginia was hella fun. Thanks again for the lift. Baja I think I'm gonna be "that guy" and get the DCs because everyone else is rocking bfgs lol

Haha go for it!

I've got the BFG KM2s on mine.
They're great tires in pretty much every aspect except for looks (a little bland IMO), and size (my 35x12.50s measured just 34.5" tall when new). Very long treadlife in a MT.

Haven't seen the DC tire to compare it's size. It's tread looks to have slightly less void than the BFG's. My thought is the "crookedness" in it's grooves would lead to them clogging with mud easier too, but again, this is just speculation on my part. The DC tire is siped where the BFG isn't, so it may have better wet/snow/ice performance.
I doubt either tire will disappoint.
