I agree. Although I don't do much driving in the snow (so that wasn't
even really a consideration when I bought my tires), the few times I
have had them in the snow they've handled very well. Compared to the
stock tires, they're amazing in the dirt and mud without compromising
much in the way of mileage. In terms of noise, I'll be the first to
admit that they're noticably louder than the stock tires. That
doesn't bother me much, though, as the sound from my flowmaster
exhaust drowns out most all other road noise, just the way I like it
:)
If I thought these tires sucked, I'd say that they did. Unlike a lot
of people, I don't have a problem admitting if I bought something that
turned out to be a piece of crap. I can also tell you that when it
comes time to buy new tires (which, at the rate they're wearing, will
be several more years), I'll be buying BFG ATs again. If I thought
they sucked, I'd either say that or, at the very least, say nothing at
all. And I certainly wouldn't say that I'd buy another set if I
thought they sucked.
I'm sorry to hear that you aren't happy with your tires, Bill, but I
just can't agree with you. These are some of the most durable tires
I've seen (short of something insane) and I've been very happy with
them. I wouldn't have a problem sharing my opinions with the DML
group if I didn't feel that way, either.
