i have owned tsl's ,mtr's and bfg's all of wich have their strong points .
my mtr's are still on the road with almost 60,000 miles on them now and still wearing great ..(i think them being on a light rig helps alot ) but i never really liked them in the snowy /icy roads or in the mud .. sand and rocks and on the wet roads they always seemed to shine and never got too noisy on the road..
my bfg's mts i like for a more in middle ground type tire ..its not bad on the road when siped actully pretty decent on icy roads ..seem to wear well and do pretty good down south here in the mud and with my 8.5 rim with my 35's i can air down to 10 psi without popping a bead with a good healthy bulge .. i have had 2 bfg's tire break down in fairbanks the inner liner broke in half when i drove over the tracks at -42 but Sam's club had no issues giving me new tires under warranty .
on a side note i dont think bfg at's get enough credit .. on all my DD i run them they wear really well very quiet on road and actualy good trail tire on sand ,rocks and snow while in az alot of folks still run 35 BFG at's ..their alot cheaper and for the occasional trail guy it fits their budget and their daily driver needs . and for the record i bought 35x12.50 at sam's in anchorage for 100 bucks each on clearence rack a few months back and 33x12.50 for 69 bucks ..that at least gets ya out on the trail !
my bogger's were the worst tire i have ever driven on the street hands down .. but dang they were like spider man on the trails .. side hilling was fun in the mud ..but they are like having turbo power in the bogs .
but i also had so much traction at times i would snap front cv's like tooth picks .. side walls are un matched in strength and durability ..but they suck on the road and wear faster than any tire i have owned ..but to their credit its not what it was designed for ..
