are these decent
i know that this has been beat to death, but i could not find the answer that i was looking for. are the BFG mud tires good in mud, will i get stuck with a 35' size tire or do they suck enough of the time that i should not even bother with them. The reason i ask is because i can get some with about 95% tread left for about $100 apiece. or should i just spend the extra $110 a tire and get some brand new SSR's. any help would be great
Thanks,
Austin

good deal on those bfgs if theres nothing wrong with them
well a bfg mud is good in the mud compared to an allterrain or a street tire. but compared to a swamper or bogger they suck....
they are good on the street

For 100 bucks a tire, get them. That's a good deal, saving yourself like 75 dollars a tire that way.
They aren't the greatest in the thick stuff though. The BFG Mud Terrain, Pro Comp Mud Terrain, Mastercraft MT, etc etc are all kind of a "entry class" mud tire. They aren't hardcore, they're a tire that is in between the street and the mud. They retain favorable street manners while still being able to get you through some mild muck. However, they will not ride like a street tire, and will not dig through like a bogger. Get what I'm saying?
100 bucks is a deal, I wouldn't pass it down. Esp if they have that littl ebit of wear. Are the little rubber nipple things still on them?

i paid 100 bucks for a set of 35" BFG MTs that had about 40% tread left, they got me through some stuff i got stuck in before.... i really like them and would buy another set if the price is right, but if was gonna get new tires i would save my dough for some swampers....i say for the price grab em, if the mud is deep enough any tire will get stuck, but if you know the terrain and dont get into something beyond your limits you will be ok......wait...did i just say that?? i almost forgot what mud bogging is about!!! ive been without my rig for too long....

im not sure if the rubber nipples are on them. but a buddy of mine got them on his jeep then rolled the jeep so now the tires are up for sale. on a scale of 1-10 being 1 is an alterrain and 10 being an SSR where would the BFG fall in.

ive had bfg allterrains, muds and ssrs, all in a 35...i would put the bfg muds at a 6 off highway...the ssrs are alot softer and that helps alot, as well as the larger lugs and tread voids

I run boggers on the dedicated mud truck but I frankly won't run any type of swamper on my DD, and infact I like the BFG mud terrains for that purpose or something along those lines, they will get you through almost anything almost as well as a typical swamper with a lot better street manners, and when you get to the point that having ssr, swampers or boggers would have made a difference your probably in to deep anyway for a street rig

Of course nothing compares to the Bogger, its a race tire basically. I'm just trying to make the point that the BFG MT is like those other tires I mentioned in being an entry tire, or maybe you could say a "crossover" tire. It's for the guy who still sees the street quite a bit, but also wants to actually be able to play in the muck. Maybe Bogger was a bit too high of a tire to compare it to....radial TSL?
