Prefer them over the bfg all day. Tread pattern alone is much better...had a few sets and was happy with them.
That browning on bfg has been an issue since the 90s at least.
compare tread with bfg. My M/T (car now has welds, big n littles) have to be at least 7 yrs old dont even have100 miles on them. Not sure after being parked for 2 yrs if I could drive the flat spots out...so new "street" tires are on the list.


So the picture shows Mickey Thompson’s? What version? I like the tread pattern and the squared shoulder.

Those are coopers, M/T with weld draglites are on it now. Been sitting way too longl

I too wish Goodyear would bring the eagles back....anyone remember the wingfoots in the 80s?
Firestone made some nice appearing ones also (no idea about quality never tried em).super sports something like that?
Used to have some old Remington XT 120s many yrs ago on there.

Fwiw in the pic those are 8" rallyes, 265/50/15 front 275/50/15 rear
Cant even find those sizes anymore. Dont like super tall sidewalls.
