Default BFG or Maxxis?

OK, I got the new lift ordered. ( 6.5" BDS Long Arm ) I just cant decide on which tires. I have it narrowed down to 2. Either 37"BFG Krawlers, or
37" Maxxis Creepy Crawlers. Any thoughts or opinions, why? Pros and cons?

They wouldnt be for dd. Since the closest place around here to wheel is 3-4 hours away we kind of have to plan every trip. So theyed be swapped out befor we left.

ive always been a fan of bfg's tires but ive heard that the maxxis tire holds up better to off road abuse especially in the sidewall.

Like Mr. Hazard, I like the BFG's and almost always come down in their favor But those Creepy Crawlers look like they stack up real well. This is one of those few tire choices where eye appeal is as good a final consideration as anything else.

I like the looks of the Krawler, so there is my vote, and why.

The Creepy Crawlers are by far a better offroad tire than the BFG Krawlers. FAR stronger side walls, and the rubber is stickier. Especially if you go with the competition compound.

However, they will wear down extremely fast on the street.
