BFG A/T in mud?
I run bfg all terrains and I was wondering how they handle mud in general....also, what type of 4 wheel drive should I use?
Much appreciated if you can give me some pointers.

Im running some BFG A/T 31s and they do fine in mud. It all depends on the driver.
When I go muddin, I tend to just throw it in 4hi and plow on through.
The trick with the allterrains is you have to keep them spinning so they clean themselves out.
Keep your foot on the gas and don't stop. 9 times out of 10, the people who get stuck with a/t's are those who stopped in the middle and tried to go from a standstill.
Good luck man, you'll do well if you practice not stopping or going slow through the mud

i have em on my dakota and they do great in mud as long as you don't stop. if you stop, you might as well have drag slicks. but, in comparison to M/Ts they do way worse than even your low end mud tires imo.
but i have actually been unsuccessful trying to get them stuck in snow or sand. my truck has an lsd in the front, so that probably helps too.

Keep 'em moving. Even with 'em spinning they don't clean out that well, but they give enough traction to keep you going. Personally, I'd just go with the M/T's. Better traction overall and not much worse on tread wear.

I've heard from tons of people that they aren't good tires. Personally, I wouldn't buy them. Your best bet is to either find a set of good a/t's or look at a different mud tire.
