    I believe (but could be wrong) these will phase out the old ones as the sizes become available.

    Zues, they have started to produce other sizes just recently. I can't find the post but they talked about it on the Pirate forums. Sounds like as a new size is put into production they are becoming the NEW mud terrains. I'll try again to find that post.

    I don't think they would replace old reliable with something they introduce in a 22" rim size.... that just doesn't seem right. I could see BFG keeping the classic MT in traditional sizes while offering the new hip hop MT in non-traditional sizes though. BFG has been getting killed by not offering more truck tires in the new trendy sizes that other companies have available! But I don't keep up with this stuff as much as I used to either... so I could be wrong.

    Wow, those new BFGs are beefy. It will be a tough decision for me. My A/Ts are wearing really nicely, so it will be a while for me, but I am definitely down with some M/Ts next time around...

    I'm actually having a hard time NOT picking out some M/T's just for the look of it!
    Especially those Geolandars.

    I looked at some Yoko A/T II's yesterday and I think it's down to them, Terra's, or Revo's.


    Is ply the only difference in P rated as opposed to LT?

    I noticed that a set of Revo's that were 265/70/16 were P rated, yet a set in /75/ were LT. The guy explained that they were 6 layers as opposed to 3(?), and they had stronger sidewalls.

    Is it a no-brainer to go with the LT's?
    I'm not considering the P rated, just curious...

    Yeah, no brainer indeed...I wouldn't recommend putting "Passenger" rated tires on a "Light Truck" that weighs in around 4000 lbs.

    Well, there might be a couple people on my long list I would recommend it to...but that's another subject.
