I'd love to hear your opinion of these tires for a daily driver. Noise level, rubber hardness, icy road traction, flexibility (they look pretty stiff), etc.

In short, do you think they compare, or beat the classic BFG A/T?

I'm looking for a more aggressive tread that can still handle icy roads and some mud.

Thanks!

I had BFG A/T's on my last Jeep and they were good tires in everything except mud. I have seen these in some pretty thick mud on another JK and they clean out well, they have a lot more void area than the BFG's.


I don't have enough miles on them yet to know how they wear, but I have had good luck with Coopers before, and hopefully we are done with Icy roads for a while. Noise level is pretty good, I can hear them if I turn off the radio but otherwise I don't notice them. The pictures were taken with 60 psi in the tires once I let some air out they softened up a little, I will have them out on the trail in a couple of weeks so I should get a better i dea how they flex then.

Last year we had flat out blizzards through the first week of May! On the way home from work during the last one, I counted more than 25 cars that were stranded/bury/crashed-through-ditches-and-fences! That's what convinced my wife we needed the JK

I see your grass has started to green up already. Ours is still dormant. But, it was 65 degrees today. Even so, I'll get to drive through snow drifts and icy roads before summer gets here.

Keep us updated!
