well thats one thing i dont like either....my tires i have now suck on the street...they`re steel belted radials, they suck when they`re cold, especially on the highway(the seem to wonder a bit)....and i`d rather go with the 12.5sKGsK5 said:
thats why i considered just getting the m/ts...because i do go offroading more than twice a year....this will be the 3rd time i`ve gone in 5 months...but i think with me only putting around 10k a year on my truck, i can sacrifice the extra wear put on the m/ts from the street...even though i`ve heard that people have gotten decent miles with them (30-60k)

Before you shell out any $$$ on BFG's, the Cooper MT's are as good or better for less. A lot of guys here in OK have had terrible probs w/ sidewall carnage on the BFG's. Stay away from pro crap, and I'm personnaly not excited by the seamingly short tread life of trxus MT's on a heavy full size. Oh yeah, I run Goodyear MTRs, and they are really good tires. Maybe not the best in the soup, but what true MT is?

All I have to say is I run BFG's 33" and KO T/A'S I Love them Best On Road and off yet I did discover a couple of things I did not like this year about them. Blazer Bash taught me that they are not the Grippeyest suckers when aired down, as this was evadent by the churping all day up and down Hells In the Rain and twelve foot deep wholes we were drivin through. Also there was the Sliding sideways as we were hanging off a fin 200ft in on Hells, I guess it was not as bad as it felt but my point is I love this tire but it has some grip issues. Thanx and enjoy your new set up
Well then how about getting Mickey Thompson MTZs? I think I want those tires to replace my BFG A/Ts when I where them down even more.

sounds great... but i just wanted to tell you that you could run some 37's for only 199 a piece.BIGBLAZE433 said:well, gentlemen, i think i have made my decision...thanks to steve kibbe, and anyone else who recommended running two sets of tires....
i can get 33x12.5 tsl`s for 156 a piece....sounds like a plan
then i will sell my tires i have now, or do a partial trade, and get some good a/ts
www.ntwonline.com is having a sale on dc fc-II's. idk about the tire... but thats a hell of a deal. i wish i would've know about it before i shelled out $350 per tire in that size

The Ground Hawgs? Wow. I may be spoiled. I paid $178 a piece for my 35" Goodyears from Wally World, 4WP wanted like $ 220 per tire, but that was a year and a half ago. 4WP seems quite proud of ther tires.BIGBLAZE433 said:

Good to hear we might have another ground hawg user. Once you go ground hawg you never go back.
Hawgs! super hard rubber compound which means lotsa milage, loud on the road, 2nd only to boggers in the mud.
Oh yea i forgot all about hawgs. awesome mud tire, seems like almost all the mud dragsters run them on the front. My brother had a set of 44's on his 79 F-350, his boss was the previous owner and had installed them.
Those tires must've been on that truck for like 10 years and still looked like brand new when my brother eventually sold the truck. If you can get past the noise and bumpyness then they would be great.
