second that. Had em on my blazer for about a year and a half and they have worn pretty good--still have between 1/2 to 3/4 tread left. I Use them for weekend wheeling trips and DD. They're a little noisy going down the highway but nothing like a swamper.
 
bfg a/t are said to be bad in the rain since they dont really have channels for the water to excape to.
 
there was a big thread a while ago about mud king tires. everyone was saying good things about them. i'm prolly gonna be looking for a mud terrain in the spring.
 
I never had any bfg mud tires. But i can say i did not like the way a bfg at is at all. It is good on the road but that is it and seemed to wear fast compared to other mud tires i've had.
 
hi

wuss up thanx for the response do u know any good off road tire is good then right now i have 40 inch gumbo somethin like that i dunno if u ever herd of them but u have any clue whats good for both worlds on an off road for the price should i stick with forties or go smaller
 
how are those tires? worn? i say go with BFG M/T's, i got em and there really good off road and pretty good on road too. i am looking for bigger off road only tires though...i might be intersested in yours if your getting rid of them...
 
Might check out the Goodyear MTR's.I have 37's now and really like them.They are very quiet on the street compared to quite a few others and work very well everywhere except the thickest,stickiest mud.Even then they are okay,they just don't clean out as well as Swampers.I'm going up to 40's when spring arrives.Check 'em out.

where in so cal? Get radial tires for a truck you drive alot on street, and depending on gearing and what you do offroad, you could go smaller and may like the advantages such as punchier throttle responce due to lower gears.
 
Ok I know of some tires not to get! my blazer came with tires called conti-tracks(they look like BFG m/ts). They were new when I got the blazer. I have put about 4500 miles on the blazer since march the tires are now less than half tread depth, And talk about CHUNKING! I havnt even done any major offroading and I am missing some big ol chunks from some of the lugs! One thing for them they do get pretty good traction. I think I might be better of with super swampers :doah:

1. OK, slow down there son....Take a few extra momments to enter the periods (.) and commas (,) here and there where they need to be. It makes reading someone's post understandable and easier to respond to with the correct info. Don't forget good grammer either.

2. BFG's are out, if you have 40" tires than you probably want tires that are the same size to replace them. Last time I checked, BFG doesn't make a 40" tires in anything but there rock crawler tire, which is out of the question on road.

3. You probably have a set of Denman Gumbo Mudders. have a look at this because there aren't many options from any other tire manufactures with a size that large.

4. There is no such thing as a 12b front axle, you have a 12B rear and a D44 up front, stock anyway.

5. Blazers and Jimmy's are the same thing, just a different grille.

6. Yes you can get a roll bar for your truck, there are tons of options.
 
hi

Sorry if i was typing all wierd. Just doing my Homework and this at the same time. Are Denman Gumbo Mudders any good? Ok so i do have to stick with the same tire size? What brand of tire company does make 40'? ok where can i go to get a roll cage an how much do they usually go for ?
 
BFG's are good tires, but If you want to keep the look and ofroad ability that the truck has now, look at Super Swamper SSR's, Parnelli Jones Dirt Grips, or maybe even some of the new Pit Bull tires. You can get any of these in 38" sizes and they are radials. They will be your best compromise between and offroad tire with street manners. Also, Super Swamper Iroks have a 41" Radial you could check out.
