So I had an ad on craigslist to trade my mud tires for some more pavement friendly tires. Some guy called me today and said he had a set of "long trails" he would bring over tomorrow for me to look at. No idea what they are. Anyone use these or have any opinions on them?

 

Most likely these http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....ng+Trail+T%2FA

 

They are a BFG long trail A T. They are a basically a somewhere between street and all-terrain ... Supposedly they last a long time if properly inflated, balanced, and rototated.(60k)

 

How are they off road?

 

I ran a set of 215/75/15 long trails on my XJ for a couple of months last fall. They were alright, but they look nowhere close to an offroad tire and almost look like they belong on a passenger car rather than a Jeep.

They did so/so in the mud, I had to put it in 4wd a few times driving down a muddy dirt road to keep my front end from sliding around going uphill.

They're great on the road, but nowhere near the offroad performance of the BFG A/Ts I have now. I would run them again just for the gas mileage on the road though.
