I've had both and it really depends on what you're using them for. The XTX is leaps and bounds better in the snow but, the BFG is better in the rocks. They are fairly equal in other aspects.

Really Depends on your wheeling. The BFG's A/T's are great all around and I highly recommend them for 80% on road 20% off road. However, if your more like 95% on road and 5% off road consider General Grabbers, they'll save you some cash and are effectively the same tire apart from a 2 vs 3 ply sidewall.

bought jeep to tow boat and maybe launch in from the beach .Not a daily driver and would like to go in the jersey pines every now and then,be lucky if it get driven once or twice a week.like the look of the big tire,I think the jeep looks better with a lift.I have a 3 " lift on it now and the stock tires get lost in the wheel well.some one gave me a a set of black d style 10.5 x 15 rims and would like the tires to fit them.

Both of those sizes are still too narrow for a 10.5 wheel. A wheel that wide is only useful when you get the 14.5 or wider. If you put a 12.5 or 11.5 on a wheel that wide it will pop off really easy when aired down.

thanks everyone picking up some 8" black d style rims and going with the wild country.i will post pics when I put them on.it will take some time.I am an HVAC mech and we are in a heat wave so my spare time is short.
I have both-
General Grabbers- great value, good all around, available at Walmart
BFG All-Terrain- great quality, more expensive, good all around
Wild Country XTX- IDK, look just like an aggressive street tire. No name brand
Good choice on the 8" Black D style rims for your desired tire size.
