ok, my stock tires on my 1990 sidekick are worn down and i want to replace them soon. im looking at the bfg a/t's as a replacement and upsizing (235/75R15) i can get them locally for $163 at costco.

but i also was looking at going full out for bfg M/T's, as costco has them for $167. but its going on a daily driver that will be taken offroad on my days off, but local trails are an hour drive away.

wondering how the m/ts street drive and wear...


what other tires are good on these trucks?

Spend the extra $20 on the MT's. You won't regret it on the trails, and their not that much rougher on the road. Just my 2 cents.

my worry is they will wear down to much from daily driving and highway (my fav offroad place is 8 hours away and another is 12 hours)

The BFGs are pretty good for wear, I have heard of the MTs lasting 60K and unlike a lot of others they are reasonably quiet too.
Yeah, I like my BFG MTs

I have BFG a/t in the 235/75/15 It seems I have just as much traction with them as my buddies geo with m/t on the hard dirt and rock. I see benefit to mine on highway for sure, but the a/t do not clean them selves at all in the mud. I live in AZ so i hardly worry about mud. it depends if your bogging or crawling. No way that the m/t last 60k with any highway driving. I had 45k on my last a/t before my first flat.

I have 31x10.5 bfg M/Ts on my 90 tracker and love them. quiet on the road, and killer on the trails.

If most of your driving is gonna be on the street I would get the AT's, the MT's wear good but not as good as the AT's + they have a smoother ride.

i would go with the bfg m/t

I have BGF ATs on my daily driver and MTs on my (mostly) trail rig.  The MTs are MUCH louder but both ride very well.  I got both sets used so its hard to say, but I would expect the MTs to wear faster.     

Your going to see 30k to 40k from M/T's and up to 50k from A/T's as mileage goes fron "new" tires. Plus A/T's Look gay.

Check the price on the US measure as well.  For some reason a metric size is more expensive.  Costco example BFG A\T 265x70x16   $185
same tire at 31x10.50x16        $138

I've ran with all kinda of rigs on all kinds of trails...

If you're planing on doing a LOT of DEEP mud - go with the M/T. Otherwise, on a DD, the A/T's are going to be quieter, longer lasting, and often BETTER traction. The A/T's have spanked the M/T's on our snow / ice runs, and kept up just fine on rocks & most trails... and RULE in the sand. The M/T's hook up better in mud, but the A/T's keep up just fine in all but the deepest / thickest of mud. The guys I've ran with praise the on-road characteristics of the A/T.

That said, I've heard the MT's have been re-designed to have more siphing which should help them hook up in cold weather trails... but I have not verified that. I went with 29" Pep-Boys Dakota M/T's for about $110 a tire installed with warranty. I've been extremely happy with them. The BFG A/T's out-perform me in snow & ice, but not by too much... and I've never got stuck in Snow / Ice yet... I just slide a bit more when the A/T's remain fully planted.
