any thoughts on bfg all terrain retread knock offs?....alot of people here in WV run them and say there great but I'm looking for all the opinions I can get before I buy them...they are half the price so I won't be losing a ton of money if they wear too fast...mainly getting them for when the snow hits...trxus mt's are the best snow tires in my opinion but I don't want to spend that much $ again

I would not trust them, I would always have the fear of them shredding apart on the highway. It is illegal to run them in the front in some states

My main concern would be the carcass they used to make them. If you buy 4 who says they will all be the same.
