See, now I have had a different experiance. They look good, but when I had them on my FedEx van they sucked. I hated them. I got stuck more with them than with the Cooper Discoverer S/T. And they didnt last as long.
Same van, different tire, different results. Thats just my experiance though.

It wasnt so much off roading, but out in the country in the spring with the snow melt and the rain it can get really sloppy, dirt roads and two track driveways a mile long. And then in the winter time with all the snow, the dirt roads dont get plowed, they plow the main roads first and then the secondary roads IF they get time. So you need a traction tread to get your job done.

Spike555 I can't vouch for the snow because we get maybe an inch every two years but I have had BFG's on pretty much every truck that I was planning on going off road and they were flawless, I did put TSL's on my my D90 for about a year and went back to BFG MT's and really the BFG's were the preferred choics, the TSL's were rough as hell and at speeds sounded like a plane flying. BFG's are my choice!! When I get the $$$ for mylift and tires its going to be BFG MT's all the way!

Magnum is probably having a beer at the King Kamehameha Club right now! lol.....
