those bfg a/ts drive and ride nice, but wear down MUCH faster than you would hope with little offroad use...
for the price they cost i'd totally rethink buying them ever again

my dads got a set of michelins (not aggressive tread, i dunno the name) and theyve lasted him for over 100,000kms

I always heard that BFG AT's lasted a long time on the road... like 50k miles...

ive got them on my sj, my friend bought them new for his sonoma and on his they have worn to like 80% in maybe a few months
the rears MAYBE if he drove it hard, but the fronts have just worn down overtime
good tires, bad wear life IMO

Sounds like your friend's in dire need of an alignment, or puts on an ungodly amount of miles in a short period of time:o

^^^Ditto.
mine lasted 4+ years with very little tread wear on my 1994 Tracker.  that even included a cross country move from California to Michigan...towing a u-haul trailer.  the best tire ever IMO.  i was a die hard Bridgestone guy till i tried the BFG A/T's but now i'll never buy anything less.

money wise i think the BFG's are the best all around....for just a real world every day tire to trail around in every now and again.  it gives good long wear,  excellent on road ride and traction,  awesome rainy weather traction, plenty acceptible off-road performance, and look great.

pricy? maybe.  but IMO you get what you pay for with these tires.  if people are wearing them out in 10,000 miles or in a year or 2, it's NOT the tire, it's driving habits and lack of alignment.

[edit]i'd also like to add, i don't think they are the best tire period....for a more serious off-road tire i have other tires i'd prefer.  but for everyday "normal" daily driver conditions i think you'd be hard pressed to find a better tire for your $$$[ok, end of edit]  ;D

I still think bias ply swampers or boggers are the best all-around, daily-driver tire ;)

c'mon guys just admit the best all around are DUBS (20's) with a low profile street tire, homeboys.  stop yo frontin'
;)
i looked at those Wal-mart tires...not to bad i guess.

i just despise the factory 205/75's  they are just too darned small, and they don't go well with the body lines of the track/kick.  i think a 215 to 235 of any somewhat all terrain or mud/snow tire just improves the look of the truck as well as the performance.
