I never had a "tire failure", just a lot of punctures in the tread. I used Bridgestone Dueler ATs. I highly recommend them.
On my trips, I saw a guy with 35 inch BFG Mud Terrains on the side of the road. He shredded his tires. A few days later I saw a guy with 33" BFG All Terrains, shredded the tires. That's why I don't think BFGs are that great.
What people don't know is that the "third ply" on the BFG is about as thick as a balloon. I know this, because I checked out his tires...or whatever chunk of it I had in my hand.
I am curious about this. at the time that i purchased my BFG ATs the duellers were my second choice, what sold me was that the BFGs sidewalls were 3 ply. If the 3rd ply is really that thin and doesn't do a whole lot then I may consider the Dueller since a relative that works for bidgestone can get them at a really good price. My other question is are they rated as a snow tire like the BFGs.
