I have run TSL bias plies and radials on Jeeps and both wear very poorly. I would say you'ld be lucky to get 30,000 mles on TSLs if you rotate them with every oil change. They do look great though!

Bfg's are an awesome tire but they run small. That's the only thing I can complain about.

I have ran tsl, bogger, and trxus mt. I hear that the new m16s should last a bit.

EVERY tire does.

37" Toyos= a hair under 36"
36" Iroks= 35.5"
37" goodyears= 35.5"

It's not just BFG that runs short. They all do!

The only thing I see running small on BFG is the width. Their height looks fine to me on what I have seen.

Im not sure i just want a reasonably agressive tread but not ridiculous short tread life dont want to have to buy new tires every year im not expecting 40 or 50k miles but dont want to only get 20k either
