Need help deciding on tires.

I have narrowed down my choices between the BFG radial T/A or the Firehawk Indy 500.

I would like some personal reviews on these two tires if possible and which ones you would recommend.

Thank you.

I had a set of Indy 500's and they wore out too quickly. Great traction, but they're more of a sticky sports car tire and I think the weight of a truck made them wear out fast.

I put a set of the BFG's on my 2000 mustang a few months ago. They look great, super quiet, and perform quite well, wet and dry. I will be buying a set for my 67 mustang as well.

I have always bought the cheapest tire available, theyre all round and black, and have to pass federal standards. You won't see my tires on a glossy color magazine ad. Besides, does anybody really care what brand tire is on your truck? Save your money and contribute to your IRA.
