    My old tires were 90% bald and I'm headed to Pismo for memorial day so need a bit more flotation/traction. I like em so far.

    Judging by the work order hanging off the mirror, you were at Discount Tire?

    Negatory, Carrols Tire Warehouse

    They were the ONLY place in town that had the tires. Everyone else said Monday at the earliest, I'm an impulse buyer, if I have to wait 4 days I'd probably change my mind :D

    Rated at 3195 pounds a piece, ride better than the stock GSA's. They don't make any noise at all and they are alot smoother going down the road. Best of all they don't need a spacer to run them in the rear...

    Good choice Jason. I am very happy with my BFG's. Like mentioned before they don't make any noise on the road and are a great offroad tire.

    Boy am I glad I only have to buy 4 at a time:D
