I've never had problems with BFG's. I run them on my Jeeps (BFG A/T) - on my 3rd set. I tend to get 50k miles out of them. I use them for the street and use a M/T tire for the trails.

For the muscle cars, I like the looks (both the treads and the letters) of the BFG T/A. I just wish they made a 275/50.

275/50 would be a very short 26" tire. It's made in the drag radials.

Yep I've used the BFG AT's on my blazer and off roaded it quite a bit in the mountains. Daily drove those tires as well and got a solid 40,000 miles out of them with life left. Not a bad tire for off road (slippery in some conditions) Nice "street" tire and complimented the looks of the blazer, but honestly I prefer something more puncture resistant when I'm in the middle of no where. I run Mickey Thompson Baja Claws (31x13.5"x15) on my sand rail and pound this thing off road, and they are going on 30 years old now, they wear like steel and never a flat even with sidewall gouges in them

Anyone remember the old Dunlop qualifiers, they had a good compound in those tires and hooked pretty good for a plain radial tire. They did not work to good in the rain and snow but pretty good on dry pavement.

Yep, remember those. Kind of an aggressive looking tread on them. Good looking tire.
