I'll tell you know they don't like rocks or trees.

My tires have plenty of proof.

My Mother's SUV had Forteras on it. They lasted 11k miles before they were down to the wearbars. She didn't even get a chance to rotate them.

would you suggest them for someone who wants em for mainly light mud,deep mud, and road use, with the occasional gravel road ?

cause i was looking at a set of goodyear wrangler A/T's and they were a pretty good deal..i thought about it for the truck and cause i barely drive down a gravel road, and dont go off roading much..only time id ever need the serious tread is when pulling,wet pavement and incase i gotta go pull my buddy and his blazer out of a feild again

I have General AT2's. Better traction than my BFG's ever had and half the cost.

They measure just a hair over 33" tall and a hair wider than 11". I too like the look of some "spare" fender space.

I sure hope so. I have always liked all my other BFG's, never had a single complaint.

Thanks! Surgery went great. They were able to do the entire deal laposcopically *not too sure on that spelling*(since I had the same thing done a few years back on the other side, they said it may have to be performed the old fashioned way)... so just 3 small incisions. The worst part for me is I have to sit around for a few weeks and be lazy (which to me is hell).
