BFG's on all the vehicles I own. I have them on both trucks and the vette. I had Kumho's and they were the roughest riding and noisest tires I ever had. I had to wait to get the BFG's due to the production cycle issues however, well worth the wait.
I went to Tire Rack and got their price, then went to Hibdon's and the Hibdon price to order them in from their warehouse was the same with mounting, balancing and steel stems as the price of the tires only without shipping from Tire Rack and they come with the Hibdon road hazard guarantee.
Wouldn't spend the coins on Goodyear if they were the same price.

I'm a BFG man across the board. My racing experience with Goodyear street tires was not the best so I tend to shy away from them. I have T/A's on the Corvette. Besides performing well, I like the raised white lettering look on the car. I have traction T/A's on my daily driver, Sebring convertible, and they may bge the best street rain tire I have ever had on a car....but you can ask 10 different people and get ten different opinions on tires.
There is no substitute for low end torque!

Wow looks like I'm the odd man out here! I've ran goodyear for years offroad and street, Eagle GT II's in the northwest rain and no issues. Maybe I should try out some BFG's?
BFG's on all my toys and work truck! Have heard comparable problems with GY!
Been using BFG'S since the high school hotrod day's, Have had others on car's I've bought , but when it came time to replace I always went with The TA's. I have a chevy pick-up I bought new in 95 and it has it's 5th set on and it has 240,000 miles on it.
