One of my trucks .. either the '08 Frontier or '14 Taco .. came with the BFG rugged trail as the OEM tire. I was horribly unimpressed. I trashed two of them (and only had one spare) when I hit something on a back highway. Punched through the center of the tread in both cases. Before that, I had tried driving in wet, settled spring snow. Even in 4 Low with the rear axle locked the truck was helpless.

I was in a bind, truck on blocks up in the mountains 2 hours from town, so I had to just buy what was available to get the "f"er home and be able to go to work Monday. I got Toyo open country MTs. I'm on my 5th set between the 2 trucks. I've poked 2 holes (nails/screws) through the tread but they held air to get back to town. With both trucks I could tool along in 2WD high range in places I could not go in 4 Low locked with the rugged trail BFGs.

So ... I'm NOT recommending those BFG rugged trails. Hopefully the other option, which I'm not familiar with, is not worse.


Anyone who thinks there's two sides to everything hasn't met a M�bius strip.
