I dont believe the MSG

[Xtreme Jeeper]

I was recently in Moab for the Easter Jeep Safari and while there I picked up a MSG (Moab Survival Guide) printed by 4 Wheel Drive and Sport Utility. I began to read thru it and the magazine informed me that All-Terrrain Tires were the way to go for rockcrawling. When was the last time you saw a rock buggy with BFG All-Terrains??? Lets hear some of your opinions....

sounds like a extreme typo, or marketing dollars effecting editing decisons. Probably the latter. I thought all terrains were by defination a compromise between off road and on road ride and hadling. Its a mistake either way they are wrong.

Well if it's printed with Moab in mind I think it's more or less accurate. The AT's seem stick to slick rock like glue.

back probably 5-7 years ago if you all remember all terains were the shit. bfg even came out with a moab edition at tire with a special slick rock tread compound. look at your 4wd magazine collections from 5 or more years ago and see what is on all the trucks in the magazines. that MSG is probably out of date.

With the guys I wheel with, they wouldn't recommend AT's for rock wheelin', since they seem to burn lots of rubber instead of heating up and gripping like most other mud terrains or other type of tire.
