Default Old school BFG Mud Terrain T/A's

I was wondering if any of you guys are running or ran the old style BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A tires. Apparently they now have the KM2 tires that replaced these. Wondering how they hold up on F150s. I know they were popular with jeep guys and a buddy got over 50k out of a set on his offroad jeep.

Here are the tires: 37x12.5x18

If I get them they will be going on 18x9 Moto Metal 951 wheels.

I know they improved the wear characteristics of the MT's in the KM2's but I know the KM's can get decent wear too. My question is how you found a brand new set? Are they left over?

Yeah apparently a guy is selling them at a tire shop and he bought them from BFG. He bought 3 sets and sold 2 already. This is what he is telling me anyways. I am going to look at them tomorrow. Very cheap too compared to say a Toyo in this size.

If you can get them for a decent price I say go for it. I know when I bought my KM2's a couple years ago for my Ranger the left over KM's where only a few bucks cheaper per tire than the KM2's

$1400. Seems like a great deal for brand new 37's. Just want to make sure I dont get 20k out of them and they are toast. I have 17k on my current Nitto Trails and they arent even half worn out yet.

If you keep them rotated Im sure they will get you much better than 20K. A co worker of mine had them on his 3/4 ton ford and he got over 40K out of his.

Okay..excellent. thats what I wanted to hear. Just wanted to be sure there wasnt anything funky with them on our trucks...Yeah rotating and keeping the alignment intact will be top priority.

you're right man.

a bfg has a pretty soft compound. not as soft as a winter tire, but close.

i had a set of 265/75/16 on my 2002 dakota and i got 45k of absolutely ralley raceing in my younger years. (lead foot)

when i got rid of the truck, i'd have to say that there was 65% tread left on them.

i just finished putting bfg's on my truck a few weeks ago... had that tread for 12 years, won't go back. i find it's fairly reasonable for cost, but it does hold the gravel in the tread too. lol
