Noticed that when shopping last night. Those might be my next tire for the ZJ.

you have just made me rethink my upcoming BFG MT purchase Thanks a lot! :( Now where did I put that survey that lists the BFG's first?

What happened to the "Mud Category" ?

Don't forget those surveys are seldom completed by those who care about offroading. For example, Firestone's Destination M/T (n the Off-Road Maximum Traction area) was rated #1 and it is probably the tire least seen offroad. THen it ranked Goodyear's MT/R 4th on traction even though it is probably the tire that has taken the hardcore offroading community by the biggest storm in years, and is what I see on the toughest rock crawling trails by far.

Those surveys should not be the final answer on what tire works best for a Jeep that gets driven offroad.

Not to mention it's the sampling group is likely very small since it comes ONLY from those completing Tire Racks online survey... so I ask anyone who takes such surveys very seriously if they really trust a survey that has such limited data to work with.

True.

I just use it as one measure of many.

Yea... I was hoping to see Iroks, Boggers, Krawlers, etc...

Dang after reading the embarassingly structured stuff I wrote below. I wish Newsgroup posts could be editted for obvious grammar-related and fat-finger typing errors afterwards like forum posts can. ;)

Just remember to bring a VERY fat wallet with you for the REVO's. They're Farkin' expensive!
