The bag out well once deflated. Have on inbuilt rim protector and moulded side biters.
$275 each fitted and balanced.

I have so far given them a good workout and they are great, good on the road very quiet and great off road handle the mud and rocky country well. Got the best deal ever from a place in Ipswich called Tyre guys on the main road. They will probably need some business soon seeing as they were right in line to get flooded again.

I can attest that they work well in the wet. Have had to stop in the wet recently, and they worked well with the ABS.

Unless the rubber compound has changed in recent years my BFG A/T's (on the old HiLux) were Sh*thouse in the wet. 1/2 worn and the arse end would slip out just looking at a corner. Ended up facing the wrong way on Sandgate Rd (3 lanes each way, so not a good place to be facing the wrong way) after some rain. Had to drive miss daisy around round abouts unless the road was bone dry. My Bighorns are going the sameway now.
Mickey T 4 Ribs for me next time I think

I state that the BFG AllTerrains can exceed 100,000km (I know four vehicles that have covered these distances with minimal chipping and cutting of treads).
You don't state any other tyre (brand) that does this but criticise my observations by saying they are misleading. How are they misleading - I am stating my observations on what I have seen and what other tyres appear to get - notably 50 - 70,000om seems a good run out of them.
