I hate BFG M/T's. I have never seen a tire cup so bad. Currently running Yokohama Geolanders and love them. Much quieter on the road and seem to be wearing good. They were awesome in the last snow/ice storm we had too.

For those online purchasers, www.sams4x4store.com has the best price (at least what I've found so far). Beats 4wp's by a decent amount in cost and shipping.

Just an update - Discount Tire will match internet prices, and will be doing so with the Sam4x4store.com price. I'll be getting a set of 4 for about $650 including mount/balance and "certification"(road hazzard thing) Not too bad, I think <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cyclops.gif" alt="" />

Another bit of info (for those who may or may not read this <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />)
Tirerack lists the BFG M/T in the 33x12.5x15 as 64 lbs.
Elias 4wd Center has the TrXus M/T listed at 58 lbs shipping weight.
So the TrXus may not be heavier that I thought.
I'll find out soon enough though.

I just ordered a set of 33x12.50x15 Trxus M/T's on Procomp black steelies from Tirepackage.com for $730 shipped.
They have a "quiet" hum on pavement w/ good street manners. I tried them out at a local rock garden and they didn't seem to have as much grip as my old MTR's, but I'm reserving final judgement until I get a few more trips on em.

Do you know if all their stores will match internet prices? That's awesome if that's the case! Gonna be needing new tires soon.

Give the one on the west side of Kzoo a call (can't remember what street it's on). I know that Brian from JCR Off Road uses them and pricematches tirerack often enough. They will ask you about shipping costs too, so find a site that gives free shipping with road hazzard purchase (like 4wp).
