Looking for new tires for the xj and i see bfg has these new m/t tires. anyone use these tires or had any type of experience with them?

 

my buddy has them and they are the best tire imo

 

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 um and love um might even marry them just kidding but they are a super tire and my new favorites for my rig have not let me down yet here is a pic

 

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

 

take pics when you go and you will like them

 

I have 33s love them but nothin beats the claws from mickey thompson

 

theyre a pretty good tire but i wouldnt buy them. from what i've seen theyre not as amazing as everyone makes them out to be imho. still a good tire though.

 

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.

 

ok i`m on the fence with tires...i was looking at the goodyear mt with kevlar....are these good tires? i either going to go with the goodyears or the old style bfg mt or the bfg mt km 2`s????

 

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)
