Anybody running these? They look alot like my buckshot mudders really, never seen anyone with these

 

[Heavyleft]

Just running them at work on a Hummer....trying to figure out how to acquire some....LOL

$595 for 4 at 90% tread sounds like a fantastic deal to me. From this website at least.

Wonder if they balance better than the Goodyear MTRs?? Heard alot of people have problems with balancing, while others have no problems.

I am not sure of the actual differences between them and normal BFG but that is the tread pattern of the BFG Baja TA.

Isnt that the old Baja TA style? The newer ones look more like a road pattern dont they?

As compared to the Goodyear M/T's, they are softer and newer. I got mine from Trailworthy Fab (I don't think they have any at this point) and they are dated '08 IIRC, most of the Goodyears I have seen are from the 90's.

They're definitely better offroad than the Goodyears, their compound seems inline with the BFG mud terrain while the Goodyears are about the hardest tire you can get. I have 5000-7000 miles on them so far and can't really tell that they've worn any, so far so good.

The story I got on them was that the military bought them as replacements for the old Goodyears and the BFG's were popping off the beads like crazy: turns out that they need different inserts or something and the military just got rid of the tires rather than changing inserts. Mine were all basically brand new and all of them had grease inside (supposedly from the grease bag that pops when the tire goes flat so that the run flat doesn't destroy the tire).

Also, they're supposedly really tough, load range D (3850 lbs).

You can't buy the 37's in a 16.5" wheel brand new, but search pricing for them in the other wheel sizes

Thanks Chris that pretty much made up my mind

So would this other insert be necessary to run them at low psi?

Got mine from TWF too. When I have some spare cash I will be buying a few sets for spares

Yes, must have the insert so they stay pinned to the bead

The inserts are part of the H1 double beadlocks, and if what I heard is true, then yeah I guess you'd need a different insert than those wheels would come with.
