BFG vs Wrangler

BFG's All Terrain is a superb all-around tire that holds up well to offroading as well as being quiet and long-lasting on the street. Is he talking about the Goodyear Wrangler MT/R which is a great rock crawling tire???

Well, it is a daily driver....and my hearing can suffer no worse.

I use the jeep for fun on weekends....but am in the snow/ice belt up here in Barrie, Ontario.

MT's do look cool too!

So, I'd go with AT's if MT's have too many cons!

That's the one. I'm always wary that sometimes these guys are just trying to move product and talk it up!

What size? I bought 31" Goodyear MT/R's for $173.59 ea. on sale at Just Jeeps (before balance/taxes). They ended up being cheaper than BFG's (AT & MT) and that made my decision. I don't think you can go wrong with either of the three but if it's mostly street, BFG AT's might be your best bet.

so....better in mud AND sand?? and as good as the AT in lesser offroading terrain?!

Rankings in order IMO (1st, 2nd, 3rd)

ON ROAD dry pavement: AT,MTR,MT wet pavement: AT,MTR,MT snow: AT,MTR,MT tread wear: AT,MT,MTR (mt and mtr are a wash) noise: AT,MTR,MT

OFF ROAD dry hard trail: AT,MTR,MT dry soft trail: MTR,MT,AT wet hard trail: MTR,AT,MT wet soft trail: MT,MTR,AT mud: MT,MTR,AT sand: MT,MTR,AT rocks: MTR,MT,AT

Conclusion: ( % on road / % off road)

For a 100km commute, I'd definately go with AT

i just bought bfg at's cost about 550 for the 4 of them. i wouldnt trade em for the mtr personally i thik the gy mtr is too soft 4 much road use

That's what the word "Canadian" means! ;)

Ya, being a car driver for years....I didn't realize tires could get so expensive. But those are only 31's. I don't plan on any lifts for a few years (wait til after warrantee is done). So my stock tires have little tread wear (only just hit 30000km). But I think I might invest early for a Christmas present for myself!

Yep, that was Canadian funds. The 33's and 35's were the same price $205 ($153 US). I was tempted at the 33's for that price but I would have needed new rims, more lift and fender trimming.

The 31's will do for now.

I haven't found them to be loud but there is a bit of a drone between 15-25 mph. I haven't had it on the highway yet. Hearing the stereo won't be an issue when it gets installed.
