Default I have had them and still do

I have 63000 miles on them truth be told i wan them to wear out so I can try something different. I am not even down tot he wear marks yet , never had a flat never an issue. If you have go in mud they are not that great. I had them in the snow and it was melting in sunny parts so the melt was turning the trail to slick mud under the snow I got out to "walk the trail" I could barely stand and almost didn't make it back to the jeep without a major fall into we slushly muddy snow. I though I had about 50 k on them but got the sale slip out of the glove box they were installed when I had 39 k on the jeep I have a 102,000 now. I drive a 08 rubi 4 dr auto stock gearing very heavy winch and front bumper. I hardly ever rotated them maybe every 20 k miles and I have only 4. I have my stock tire on the tailgate. so if you want something that will last maybe try these they are great.

The biggest consistent complaint I hear is their weight. They weigh 62lbs compared to BFG's in the mid 40's.
So you already asked this question in another post. You didn't get a bunch of negative replies like you thought you would. And since you are still hung up on the weight, you decided to post the same question again - hoping for different answers? That about cover it?

If the extra weight is that much of an issue to you, why let a couple of anonymous people try to talk you into them? Just go with the BFG's.

Pulled the trigger on a set of Cooper Discoverer ATP's 285/70/17 instead of the Falken's. The Falken's were a great price but much heavier than anything else. These are much quieter than the stock BFG MT's that I took off. Many of you guys swear by them and they are likely great in the mud, but the cup terribly no matter how often you rotate and are stupid noisy on the road. I will never own another set of those.
