Randy,

How do you like those Michelins? I'm debating between them and the
BFG A/T for my 4X4 probably next summer. I now have 26K on the
Wranglers and they are wearing fairly well, compared to what others
on the list have said (looks like I'll get at least 35-40K out of
them). My main complaint is that after about 10K, they really stink
in the rain and snow. I'd like to match the confidence of 4X4 with
good-performing tires in the rain and snow (don't really do any
off-roading).
