Same thing as mastercrafts pretty much. Quite a bit more $$$ though.

32x11.5x15 BFG KM2...i have 10k on them and they dont even look worn. They work great on muddy trails and sand. They lack traction on ice, Which is expected from a M/T.

They're all for looks. Way too pricey for what you get.

33x12.50x15 bfg ats...I do about 80% street and 20% rock/trails...so I figured I need them to last, I beat the snot out of these tires on my first trip with them on a couple of rock gardens going up hill, except for my fenders siping them lol, they didn't show any signs of wear or chunking, I have them on a 15x8 wheel, and the bulge is awesome at 10psi...I had mt/r's before, they sucked on the street but were a beast on anything off pavement...I guess it depends on what type of usage you need them for.

Really? They must have changed the design because I had a set of 31s years ago and you could hardly talk to the person nest to you.
