Best Interior Offroad Tire
#31
As much as it pains me to say... go goodyears. The BFG's are crap in Alaska. Trust me, I have seen MORE than my share of failures. You may never realize that they are falling apart until you have a slow leak and try to repair. The inner liner on the bfg's is the weekest link. They literally fall apart in the cold. I have never seen a catastophic failure do to the cold... per say... usually what happens is the tyre starts to leak (cracked inner liner, so permeation is increased tenfold) and the person driving doesn't know/realize that it's low, so they drive on it low until BOOM. It wasn't from the cold (totally) it was do to loss of air...
As for the warrenty, Yes BFG WILL warrenty them (unless things have changed over the last year). BUT, the thing is, the only dealer is in Anchorage. So you either have to dismount them, send them to them, and wait for them to send you new tyres(after paying your percentage) and remount them or go to Anchorage and have them do them there. M.A.S.T (Michilin Americas Small Tyres) will warrenty them out for UP TO four years as a cosmetic defect...

Now that that rant is over...
The goodyears are the better choice between the two (as much as it pains me to say) MT/R stands for Mud Terrain Reinforced, It does have a three ply sidewall just like the BFG's, but they have added a little bit more. I think they call it something like durawall or something for better traction. They also added a new silica compound for more puncture and cut resistance. Plus they wear really good, but so do the bfg's...

Hope this helps.
