Hey so im doing some planning on putting my jeep into its second stage of massive amounts of spending (first one was about $5,000 and was done by previous owner). I have 2 main goals, driveability yet capability to run 35s. Ive got most everything worked out (ill put a thread up later of my axle plans and stuff) but im having trouble with tires.
I was planning to run 35x12.5R15 BFG ATs due to their excellent on road mannors (tread life, fuel economy, smoothness, ease-of-balancing, rain performance, etc) and just seemed like a great all around tire. I have 32 BFG MTs on it now, all worn to shi*, and i noticed the ATs were running at $161, far from the TSLs and other yummys i noticed at around $250~. $161 seemed good, but the Mud Terrains are only $17 more at $178.... Now thats a dilema....... So my question is if any of you are running 35" MTs from BFG or ATs from BFG, what do you think? These 2 questions pretty much sum it up...
1. How much worse is the BFG AT than the BFG MT in mud?
2. How much better is the BFG AT than the BFG MT on the street?
