Ain't that the truth. But hell, with as much rain as we're getting this year there's probably some mud somewhere. Where are you at in Washington? Just too many damn mini-trucks around here lol. I don't know know any guys that drive a full size that wheel. (Well, that wheel with more than a street tire.. ) -_-

Yeah tell me about it a buddy of mine sank his 98 Chev Z71 with 9" of lift and 36s in a hole deep enough to get about 4" of water in the cab. Then he blew the front end apart trying to get himself out . Some of the trails out here in west MI are not passable with a stock vehicle because of the rain. I wasn't able to get him because the 32" BFG ATs on my 96 F150 don't get along too well with mud and deep water. I damn sure am not taking the plow truck out there... no ground clearance, skinny bald tires, and VERY HEAVY. All my other rigs are in some state of being worked on. He ended up getting rescued by one of our buddies with a (slightly modded) Jeep Comanche pickup. AGHH can't wait to get the Bronco done

Only time I was happy with BFG A/T's was in the snow. Pretty much suck anywhere but pavement.

I like my BFGs in everything but mud, they are outstanding in soft sand... especially with the right air pressure. I like them on a DD that sees limited off road use.

I have never been a big fan of bfg at's either. Both my buddy and his uncle(different style trucks...very meticulous maintenance) got poor mileage out of them. I was never too impressed with them offroad either. I do understand that a lot of people love them though.

but the wheelbarrow would have such great traction in the snow. your wheelbarrow probably has interco atv tires on it and is painted olive drab

hey now, my old 5hp mini bike would get up to 50ish..........................but then the centrifical clutch would fly off and put me in a ditch. had a buddy make a 3 wheeler with an 18 hp motor that would rip the tires off on concrete, no need for rice
