I'm not sure why everybody gets hung up on BFG tires. For 35's the price is in the $190 a tire range. I thought about it and couldn't really justify the price. Did a little shopping on line and found Dunlop Mud Rovers to be very comperable to BFG MT's on everything but price. Found I could get them at my local Sams club for $125 per tire. Thats for a *Radial* 35x12.50 15. Not bias ply like some of the swampers (I know the BFG is a radial too). Just pointing that out because the radials are usually more the bigger the tire is.
I bought them almost 2 years ago now and the current price hasn't risen all that much at Sams. I couldn't be happier with them. For a mud tire they are almost as quiet as an all terrain, just a slight hum, but nothing close to a swamper. They do quite well in the mud, but I'm not into gumbo slinging just what I hit on the trail. They rock in deep snow and have proven to be quite grippy on the trail defalted down to 15 psi. A very good all around tire for a great price. And since I've had them they have worn really even. It's about time I rotated them again though..
Don't get caught up in the BFG thing. If you want to pay the price fine. If you want a decent tire that will do all the same that a BFG will, look at the mud rovers and save some coin.
