Extremely loud, ride pretty rough, and will not last long unless you take VERY good care of them.

Can't beat the look though.

Look into the Toyo Open Country MTs before you go with BFGs.

I'm interested to hear why the toyos are better? I've had both sets and must say hands down the BFG tires wear better w/ 5K mile rotations, pull better in deep nasty mud, and ride nice on the highway. The BFGs have some noise if you let them get chopped up but, if well taken care of you'll get over 50K miles out of the BFGs, the Toyos, I got 25K and they were toast.

I had BFG MTs on my old S10 and they didn't wear well at all. That's why I wouldn't recommend them, but maybe I just had a bad set. My cousin has the Toyos on his Dodge and they have worn very well.

I was saying I think the Toyo's are better than the Mudgrappler's. It has been a long time since I rode on anything with BFG's, but your right about them not wearing out. I've seen the Toyo's last about 50k also.

So far it looks like my Terragrapplers might last about 70k.
