I've wheeled more than wet grass with BFG A/T they were the 325/60/15 (about a 31"/13"), super wide. No complaints

However, I had some Goodyear GT.IIs, at the time there weren't a lot of companies making a lot of sizes for 20inch rims. And they really sucked in the sand.

But I'd say its up to the owner to do his homework and not buy an A/T in the quest for traction.

Anybody ever try those Krawler tires that BFG makes. There all over the wheelin magazines but I don't know anybody that has them?

Im thinkin about cuttin my a/t's up just to see if i can improve traction off road.... There smaller and easier on gas, but the just suck in general. So what yall think is it worth the time or leavem be?

325 puts you closer to a 35" tire....
285 is a 33" tire.... FYI.

60% of 325 is about 7.7inches
7.7 + 15 + 7.7 = 30.4 inches

fyi

Yeah, stupid metric..... the rim and the percent side wall make it hard to compare sizes

I'd say cut them up, make some major void space up in that tire....

there are a lot of frat guys around here who like to "go 4x4ing" (driving through grass) w/their trucks/SUVs riding at BFG A/Ts....they are always getting stuck trying to show off...hilarious

I have a set of BFG M/T KMs and I love em to death...

Oh well i just used a tape measure, plus there worn. But its ok, i just knew that 325 was bigger than a 33" tire, alot closer to a 35" tire if not bigger.
