Ihave had my bfg at/ko for about a month and they are great. I haven't taken them off road yet but they are quiet on the road and have really nice traction dry or wet. btw I have been known to be a very aggressive driver at times and these tires handle very well.
I have a 91 with 2" lift and 31s are just perfect. I've had Perrelii sp? Scorpion, BFG AT ko, Goodyear Wrangler rts, and Goodyear Wrangler AT. I do alot of difficult offroading on rocks, loose, and hardpacked dirt and couldn't tell much difference in any of the tires. On the street, wet, dry, or snow covered, the clear and easy winner by far was the Scorpions. They are very capable offroad and untouchable on the street, and cheaper too.
remember you also have to get them mounted and ballanced. so buying localy the shop usually discounts that part. otherwise they may charge you up to 65$ a tire.
Because Explorers have been known to roll over and stores like Wal-Mart are very cautious about putting on oversized tires, for liability reasons. I didn't have any problem though. I got 31x10.5" Liberators put on w/o a problem at Wally World.
