BFG TYRES

Have taken the plunge and changed from bfg to Pirelli scorpion all season and new alloys, but not tested them yet

Back to back have run Grabber AT3s and BFG KO2s.

Grabbers are so much quieter, milder mannered and miles better in wet traction grip. No difference when mud plugging.

Anything over 1500 rpm in the damp with the BFs and you are Ken Blocking out of a roundabout. Can’t wait to change them.
 
The main problem with BFG's in the wet is people tend to run them at the wrong pressures. They are an LT tyre so for load carrying. most users have them inflated to do so when not loaded. Air them correctly and they are still one of the best tyres you can run. For Doris to run to and from tesco with Fido in the back you only need around 28PSi (265/70r17)

You've hit the nail on the head re tyre pressure.

I run KM3's at 18psi on my Jimny they're excellent on the road in all weathers. They're about half worn after about 30k miles.
