Okay, I see your point better now. What you're saying makes more sense, but I'm still not in 100% agreement with you--I think the BFG muds are a great choice for people who don't want the noise and terrible onroad handling characteristics of a lot of the far more aggressive mud tires you listed. They also *do* work offroad, I am routinely impressed with the BFG MT's on Synchro's and Philosopher's trucks, especially when I used to compare them to my BFG ATs.

The one tire you list on there that I'm surprised no one really talks about much is the Yokohama, it seems to be the most direct comparison to the BFG MTs, and I've only heard good things about them. Only seen them mounted up on one truck in person, though.

I must admit I'm not that familiar with the Uniroyals or the Generals...I don't read any of the 4x4 magazines (they all read like ad copy to me), so I really only have an idea concerning tires I've seen on the trail or talked about with people who run them.

p.s. re: lights...right on, I agree...unfortunately you can have too many amps draw on your alternator...oy!
