    When I get a longer rear brake line (I don't want to overextend and rip my stock one out), I'll get messy.. :D

    You should gotten the Mud-terrains, they are pretty much unstoppable. But those are also killer tires to have.

    Good choice man, now all you need is rims

    Mud Terrains burn up quickly on pavement, and absolutely suck in snow.

    Mud terrains? Nobody runs them in the winter up here -- no siping on the tire..that's the first time I've heard about anyone running them in winter.

    Really cause when I ran them I used to go throu snow drifts and pull people out of ditchs with them and never had a problem.

    But if all you want to do is some light to medium off-roading these tires are great, but for the heavier stuff the mud terrians are unstoppable, I have never been stuck in mud with them.

    I'd like to pick up a set of Mickey Thompson wheels wrapped in M/Ts..maybe after I get some body armor. I'll probably be wheeling with my uncle ('89 Isuzu Trooper), so we'll be able to un-stick each other.

    If you never got stuck, you just didn't find enough mud. ;)

    Yea I have seen little puddles like those and I didnt really want to try to cross it without a winch, LOL.

    But I have found some nice mud holes around here and have seen my black truck go mud brown.

    Not too many places to go up here, unfortunately....I'm hoping we can find somewhere, though. Snowmobile trails are off limits -- I have to check & see if we can run under the power lines..

    For your average everyday truck driver, the BFG A/T KO is not the tire to have. Those types of people who want a "truck tire" are better off using the Dueler H/T, or something along those lines. The only people who should ever be running mud-terrains is rigs that get towed to the trail.

    I've watched Aaron destroy an entire set of 35" GoodYear MTR's, by driving it constantly on the street.

    MTR's are NOT MADE for use on pavement...PERIOD.

    You made the right choice Josh, you won't have any problems with that tire, especially with the wicked sidewall on 'em.
