    You'll hear 'em at work. Wouldn't more rubber, less knob be better on rocks? I've no rock experience, but plenty o' mud....they look muddy to me.

    Would A/Ts be more practical, yes. Do we have a lot of mud here? No, typically only in the spring or in the mountains, but nothing like back east or stinking hot Florida. Do they look cool and have a really good rating, YES!

    I even think they will be a little cheaper than the BFGs also.

    The only real thing I know about Firestone is that they had issue on the explorers. Pretty sure it was the Firestone. But not the particular tire.

    Hmmm yeah, now that you mention it, I do remember something about them.

    Maybe I should stick with the BFGs....

    Firestone/Bridgestone BAD. B. F. Goodrich GOOD. :bgwp:

    Look at it this way, BFG runs Baja, Alcan and Dakar. 'Nuff said.

    Take a look at the Yokohama Geolandar MT+ too, sticky! Of course, Bart, you're really more of a Michelin XZL kinda guy...
