Ive had a set of 33 of the old BFG MT on my old FSJ and loved every minute of them. Once My current ATs bald out I will be going back to them for sure.

I got 'em, 31s, haven't had them out, but I did extensive research and they are one of the best options for on and off road. Field research begins this weekend up in the canyon

I know thhose tires are for mud but how well do they wear? Would they be okay for a DD? I want a good mud tire but i would still drive on the street everyday so i am torn between an AT or a Mud tire... I saw the BF goodrich baja those look cool too

I have both BFG A/T's and the M/T's mounted up and change as needed. These are the older style BFG's Up home in Idaho I've found the M/T's nearly useless in snow. Thus the A/T's for winter use.

A point of order is that the M/T's get noisy as they wear. Down here in the Southwest I love my M/T's. A side benifit of the M/T's is they don't throw gravel all over the Jeep or my trailers like the A/T's.

The M/T's also wear a bit faster than A/T's but not enough to be a deal breaker. Ask BFG if the new KM's are better at snow use. I would doubt it.

the old style MTs wear like iron... I have ~10k on mine and besides the rock rash they're at 90% tread. The newer ones wear a lot faster, the first KM2s (17-20" rims sizes IIRC) had a lot of wear issues on full sizes, wearing out in ~30k. The normal size ones dont seem to have that issue, but dont expect 70k out of them like you could get out of the KM1s... I'd say 40-50k is the best youll get.

I personally like the new MTRs better.

I got Timberline's MT's From Dayton my jeep is a daily driver and i bought them 3 years ago and maybe have 1 more year to go. They wear perfect, they look bad a$$, and not really noisey as far as holwling. I will definetly buy them again.
P.S. I live in arizona which is the most brutal state for tires because of heat and dryness. My MT's never went flat, dry rotted, or worn down weard(knocking on wood)
