Been a while since we've had a BFG A/T KO love-fest here :) I put mine
on almost 2 years ago, nearly 30,000 miles, after a near-accident
experience w/ the Goodyears
(http://www.dakota-truck.net/ARCHIVES/0101/0079.html) I *will* be
purchasing BFG again - I'm showing some wear now at 28K but have more
tread than the Goodyears did at the same mileage - and they are very
solid in just about every condition I've driven them in.
