You can get the Firestone tires a $100 cheaper than the BF Goodrich, what do you think?

I have the Destination A/T on my KJ and BFG A/T on my chevy truck. If you draw a parallel of the A/T and M/T then I would go with the Firestones. I like them a LOT better than the BFGs. Thats my 2 cents...

No experience with the Firestones but I got my BFG MTs for a little over $109 mounted/balanced at Sams. They really bite and are not tooooo noisy. Great wet road traction too compared to my stockers. Big surprise.....

No experience with the Firestones but BFGs are some of the best tires you can buy. The sidewall design will put up with a lot more abuse than tires with more sidewall plys. I have run BFGs on every truck I have ever owned that had a tire 35" and smaller, and will continue to use them. As soon as I find some monkey to buy these Goodyears off my KJ, it will get a set of BFG ATs.

Go with the Baja champs baby. BFGs rock the party....both good tires though.

I think BFG's reputation is keeping them on top right now, They have been a good tire for such a long time that they have gathered quite a following. Hopefully that is not what is driving the price of them though. I hate to pay extra for a name, even if it is a superior product, I dont mind paying for the better product but sometimes I feel like BFG=$$$ the same as BMW=$$$.

I have had both the BFG AT and MT when I had my KJ. I loved the MT's. I was getting traction where the Firestone's wernt.

I have the Firestone A/T on, they do awesome in all conditions. I would get the Firestone's. Or as another option, you could look at the General Grabbers AT2.

I would say the BFGs, they are excellent on and off road. They self clean i went through mud holes and running water crossings with 2wd and never got stuck. The road noise is like an AT so they are not as noisy as the firestones b/c when i was at the firestone store they compared it to super swampers. Also the BFGs will last a long time when you rotate them.

Any MT should last a while with regular rotations. Heck, do it every time you get an oil change. It only takes about 20 minutes to do.
