i just got 4 cooper cobra tires for my 2wd and it was just over 1/2 price of the bfg tires and the letters are solid white and look great .

and my k30 has the bfg mud tires and they wear out FAST . i have under 10k miles and there half tread now . 1 more winter and there done . next set will be cooper tires .
I used to run the bfg muds on my company truck and the most I ever got out of a set was 26,000. This was over 5-6 sets on two different trucks. They wear out crazy fast but out in the slop of the oil field they never once failed me. They do really well for there intended purpose and highway miles are not that intended purpose. actually they remind me a lot of super swampers in that regard. I’ve got toyo muds on it now and they are on par to get about 35-40,000.
