I don't have any off road experience with them yet, but while tire shopping/comparing the Goodyears appear to be heavier.  With that said, I ordered 5 33X10.5X15 BFG Mudders.  The saleman tried to sell me the Goodyears, however they did not have a 10.5 or smaller width in 33s.  My opinion from the research I did was that the BFGs would be better on the Tracker because of the lighter weight and reduced width available.  Of course that was considering only 33s.  Given a different size, I possibly would have purchased the Goodyears.

I have the MTR's on my F150.  I had the BFG AT on before, not bad, but when my tin top needs new shoes, I'm going with the MTR's.

    I've run MTR's and Mud Rovers(which are just like BFG Mud terrains) on the RealRedWagon I had great luck with both of them however the MTR's are way nicer on the street and seemed to where better. when off road I run the MTR's at 8PSI and they bend and fold more than well enough ;D they are a bit more$$ though

I have had 31" bFG mt's and 33" AT's and 37" Goodyear MTR's The MTR's are a softer compound and I think would do really good on a light vehicle. They have a better sidewall then the BFG's as well. Mine worked awesome in the snow and ice as well.

i'm buying a set of MTR's, never even though about any other tire(ok mabey the BFG Krawler ;D).  i see more MTRs on the rocks than MTs and i hear that no other off road tire even comes close on the street.  this being said, i have never owned a set of MTR's but i have seen them used, alot.

stu

P.S.  they are not a good mud tire.

or you could look at trxus mt's... just as good if not better then the mtr, with awsome street wear... my gf runs them on her tracker and shes had them for about a year ( daily driver ) and the wear isnt even noticable. Quite suprizing concidering how soft they are and there made by interco!
