I'm torn between AT's and MT's. On one hand, if I'm honest with myself, I'd choose AT's for everyday use. On the other hand, I think if I had MT's, even for one successful trip through the mud, I'd enjoy their drawbacks.

Not with $3.70/gal gas.  Can't afford to break anything either.  :finger: :lol:

I was advised by the local jeepers not to consider the ATs at all...that I would wish I had MTs the first time I took them off road.

I agree, on long trips the droning gets very annoying.  Same goes for loud exhausts as well.  Although I don't hear my MT/R's that much but I know they drone a bit, I just can't usually hear them unless I'm next to a wall or hillside. Otherwise, they're quiet inside.

I don't know if this is totally true.  I have little issues with mine, there have been some times I would have felt better knowing I had mudders but never had a problem.  Winched quite a few guys with mudders out of mud that I had no problem with.  Air down, lock up and you'll be fine.  That said I will not be putting AT's back on, most likely some Swampers of some type.  Maybe SSR's?

My AT's have performed really well, but I think I will be extremely happy with the Trxus MT's...both on the road and ESPECIALLY on the very muddy trails here in MI. :thumb:

Out of curiosity which BFG MT's are you looking at?  The KM or KM2?
