I personally like the BFGs. What size you going? 265 or 285?

I had great luck with the bridgestone revo's. But that doesn't help you much lol. I have BFG's on my new truck but they're brand new, so I'm not much help there either! But the BFG's are a lot louder than the bridgestones were IMO.

I have had my BFGs since 2004 and they are great on snow and ice...at least in alaska. I have about 40,000+ miles on current set and they still have about another season on them.

Cool. I have them on mine right now in a 265 and got a big nail in one. I'm driving to Charlotte for the race tomorrow so I figured I better get it fixed quick. Sux because they do have some life left in them I just don't trust a patched tire and towing.....

hmm doing patches in the tread is no problem. A patch is better than a plug.

285s are nice. I ended up picking up a used set for 175 in 285s a couple years ago. They are collecting dust until i wear out mine now. the set i have on my truck was a new set. I haven't had a flat in them (knock on wood)
