    My stock Brigstones were worn out at 32,000 and had dry rot. I have been using the BF Long trails for a few years,(good price at Sams club) I have a set on my 97 Wrangler 30 9.50 15 50-60,000 miles and at least another 10,000 left. they are real noisy,but thats what the 500 watts and subs are for.. I had a set on my Caddy and Chevy Pu no problems,...I run 3or4 cars I can't spend 700 on tires. Tony B

    I just thought I'd add my two cents......I just bought new Yokohama AVS tires, size, 285/70/16's. They fit great,(with a bit of trimming), and fill up the wheel well nicely and they give my VX that desirable bulldog stance! I think the Yoko's are the perfect summer time tire!

    I've had my Yokes for 2 seasons now, they suck in snow but are a major blast on dry pavement! I even ran them in Moab last year and a lot of folks were very impressed at their grip on the rock... I run 255/55/R18 and they do fill up the wells and look perfect with the vehicle.

    Thumbs up

    I'm running the Kumho Ecsta STX on the Dragon right now in 18" and I'm a full-on Kumho convert now. After being a die-hard tire snob for 20+ years I'm thoroughly impressed! A fantastic street tire at a great price.

    On the street I am running my beat and worn out BFG AT's (265/75/16's). Offroad (and on-road to the trails) I am now running Goodyear MTR's in the same size. I have to say the MTR's are much better offroad than the AT's. In Moab they performed awesomely...on some obstacles out allowing me to ease up stuff that much better built vehicles had problems doing (either that or I was just a superior driver ) They are a bit louder on the road than the AT's and if driven daily would probably wear faster though. If stock height some slight trimming may be required.
