dunlop mud rovers, siped. fairly cheap, clean out great, have an agressive look, stick to everything, and have good road manners.

Do yourself a favor.
Buy a quality a/t tire for snow season, and get some cheap SS bias tires for thrashing in the woods/mud.

really? seriously? u really think that people will believe this? very few of the high end CAR tires that are top end get that many miles. a mud terrain getting over 40,000 would be very good. theres a reason their called MUD TERRAINS. their tread is meant for mud not driving on the road. i swear people these days all they do is lie and exxagerate and make **** up.

No crap, cause all high end car tires for example advans or H2's are made of soft rubber.

I got just over 76k with my BFG MT's(old style) before the tread was too low, used them only on street. I had General AT's and got over 80k with them. Mind you tire care can help alot. Keeping the rubber hydrated, rotating, balancing every 3k, alignments every 15k. And not driving like an *** really helps.

Congratulations, thats about as much credibility as Jiffy Lube.

Is this a **** measuring contest now? Im ASE in 4 fields, Graduate of UTI and Ohio tech, currently own two garages and have been in the automotive field for just over 9 years professionally. Who gives a ****.

Nothings impossible, Right now I am at 83k on my continental sportiva a/ts on my DD. I condition them, rotate them, balance them, align it every 10k, and never spun them. Gonna have to replace them before the winter though.

Well, opinions are like A**holes so your going to get a lot of different replies about tires. My personal opinion, for a DD and a great snow tire it's hard to beat the goodyear wrangler M/S. I just bought 4 of these from walmart for $300 and mounted them myself. BEAT THAT LOL but seriously I have these tires on my 84 full size bronco, with a 7 foot western plow. I am Fu***** amazed at how much snow that bronco will push. The tread is a little on the soft side, and you can expect 25-35k miles even wear....but for $300 for a set of 4???? C'mon

sounds like u worked really hard to get where u r today......maybe a little too hard?...... since when does being a mechanic mean knowing about tires? have u ever changed tires? all the bfg's i've ever changed have had soft rubber compared to mastercrafts coopers and others.
