Just bought a new set of those Michelins for my '06 Dodge 4WD diesel.
I was asking for a an off road tire, not a combination all weather and road conditions tire.
The BFG MT's are what I should have asked about, not the AT's. They MT's are suppose to be outstanding when it comes to long thread life with lots of rocky, rough road use which is really hard on street and highway tires. They are also suppose to be very resistant to side wall damage. E
Toyo M/Ts. Expensive,but they are better off road and wear better than the old BFG KMs or the new KM2s They have a LOT of rubber in them. The 33" (295/70/17) Toyos on my truck weigh 80lbs a piece. They also have almost 4000lbs of weight capacity each. Heavy Duty tires for sure.

As others on here who seem to know the BFG AT is a good tire for those who may do 70/30, 80/20 or up road to off-road driving. I've gotten great mileage out of them on 3/4 ton Dodge Cummins trucks. My driving is probably 70/30 road to off-road and I live in the boonies in Northern NM and drive the forests and reservations all the time.
It CANNOT be considered a true off-road tire by any means.

My g8-g8 uncle was Barney Riggs. Google and read about him. He roamed around the southwest, mainly west Tx and Az and NM territory. History credits him with from 9 - 12 men he killed, not counting Mexicans and Indians. Family lore has it at 18.

Can't comment on how they compare to other AT tires, but I've had set on a 2001 F-150, and later on a 2007 Chevy Silverado. I run mostly highway and city miles but spend as much time as possible in the country and they also seemed to perform fairly well in the mud, and snow when we get it.
The set on the Ford had 40K miles when I traded the truck in and they looked like they could easily go another 10 - 15K miles at least. The set on the Chevy I just traded only had 25K but they looked practically brand new.
Trying to decide whether I should spend the money to immediately replace the Goodyear Wranglers on the new F-150 I picked up this week, but regardless of when I do get new tires, they will be BFG all terrains.

My father ran a set of Bfg's MT on his 79 F-250 4x a few years back, Blew a sidewall out at no more than 3000 mi. Not sure about the sidewall rating on those, Although could have been a defect. I do know that it wasn't warrantied.
