I like them alot. My one and only complaint is they are soft, so gravel roads eat em up fast. Other than that I like them!! As far as the BFG they are all overpriced!! Would much rather have a Swamper for the same price than a BFG MT. And would rather have the Goodyear ATS than a BFG AT. But it is all about what you want, we can only try to give our $.02 worth. hehehe

I'm about to buy some Pro Comp tires, but BFG tires really are the best AT out there. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. Guess it doesn't matter to me, I can afford them.

My opinion, for what it's worth:
Wet Traction - B
Snow - A
Mud - A+ (for an AT)
Dry - A
Looks - A+
Tread life - A
This is my second set of the ATS tire. My only complaint is that they are difficult to balance perfectly. I guess when you are talking a tire this big (converts to 33/12.5) its not to bad. Also, the center tread wore pretty quick on my first set until I figured out that 40 psi was to much. Now I run 32 and all seems well.
All-in-all the tires look great, grip great and ride pretty well.
