How many miles do those BFG A/T usually last?

Depends on how you use them. For just daily driving, and a little weekend wheeling with no crazy rocks or anything, i would expect at least 60k..

I have heard that authority was the worst tires from Goodyear. I guess maybe it got better now?

totaly disagree with the people that say they are junk...they say that mainly because of the walmart affiliation..i had the original MTRs and had two seperate sidewall punctures where as these have served me quite well on both my XJ and my YJ (which only sees trails and no hwy)..the orginal MTRS were great in traction ,poopy in wear and HORRIBLE in the sidewall dept.i will buy the authority's again....

That's true. I guess that's why people said smack about it, because of the Walmart connection.

I will check it out.

I do a lot of highway driving and on-pavement driving, and the mud terrains is driving me crazy with the noise lol. So I think A/T would be a better choice for me and I can always have a larger mud terrain tires aside for when I go wheeling.

I had them on my jeep for about 3000 miles I liked them they worked real well. I wheeled the hell out of them here in south jersey and at rausch creek they held up well. They are now on my girls jeep and she has put another 3000 on them they are wearing evenly and seem like they should last awhile

I have the Dakota A/T's. About 25000miles and I like them. Wearing fine and good traction for mild trails and mild rocks. OK mud cleaning.

They loose their very good wet traction after about 18000miles though. Turns into OK wet traction.
