I have BFG's on my wifes 04 Wrangler Unlimited. Best tire I have ever had.
Had a set of Kuhmos on the Cherokee 235/70/15 and had over 80k miles on them. Very good tire considering price. Had a D load rating.

Been wheeling for thirty years, and have owned about everything worth having. BFG's in an overall sense, be it AT or MT get my vote. However, I think all tire prices pretty much suk. This time around I bought Treadwright retreads. When I ordered them I specifically asked for the BFG carcass and MT tread pattern, so I would be guranteed a 3 ply sidewall.
Upon arrival I noticed they were new enough that the type was the AT-KO.
Sweet, they have the wheel protecotr rib that I didn't even know existed.
Granted this was a 31x10.50 size but they balanced out very nicely. 2 3/4 oz, 1 1/2 oz, 3/4 oz, and 1/4 oz.
It's too early to say if I would buy them again, but so far after a couple of weeks, I'm happy

Another option, other than BFG, is the General Grabber AT2. It's a new tire with similar characteristics as the bfg and has good reviews. About $105 per 31" tire. Not too bad!

i have seen (on teh internets) the tread coming off of retreads. this was a few isolated cases, but for the money heck, ill try them, i hear the service from hi tech retreads is pretty good too and they will replace the tire if you encounter that problem.
