Better? Ha! I would be willing to bet that the BFG is not only a much better performing tire, but that it also would last about twice as long... and I am not a betting man by any means.

I guess its not as cold as living in Minnesota or the Dakotas, but you should still know that...

Yeah, I didnt pay any attention to where he lived. It gets pretty dam cold here, but not THAT cold. If it hits 10 or 20 below, its typically only at night and only for a few days. FAWK that stuffs!
