How is the performance of the stock Rubi tires on the road for DD use?

 

I have them on my Sahara Unlimited, I love'um. I didn't notice much of a difference. You really only feel the nub's starting and stopping. This doesn't bother me. I drive it 50+ miles daily.

 

Overall, the BFG MT's are a good tire, I personally do not like them for rock crawling. I have them (35's) and wish I would have gotten the Goodyear MT/R's, but I will continue to run them until they wear out.

 

I love mine - on road and off! I'm seriously considering getting BFG M/T KM2s though when I upgrade.

 

Same here. I have a little over 12k miles on them (since June). They have a little more noise than the stock Sahara tires but do well ok the rain (must be the ESP). I like them but when these die I might replace them with the tires that come on the Lard Rover LR3. They look nice and I am sure are a little quieter.

 

I have been very happy with the on-road performance of the Rubi BFG Muds (which as most know has a slightly different design on the center lugs than the normal BFG muds). Noise is only barely noticeable even when the top is down - much lower noise levels than the Goodyear MTRs. Dry handling is decent, especially for a mud tire. Wet handling seems to be OK, although I haven't pushed it much and we haven't got much wet weather here in Cali since I purchased my JK in the summer. I have been pleasantly surprised by the fuel economy. I've been averaging about 20 on the highway and 15 in the city (I have a Rubi auto 4.10s). Overall, very good on-road tire for a mud tire.

Could not have said it better myself....

 

I'm happy with mine so far. They perform pretty good off-road. I haven't had the opportunity to do any real rock crawling, so I cannot comment to that end. It very well could be my imagination, but they do seem to wear a little quickly.

 

Have 27000 miles on my tires now. Rotated them at about 24000. Probably waited a little to long. The front was wearing every other tread and it was getting noisy. Noise is much better now after a few thousand miles after the rotation. Over all I've been happy with the performance and looks of the BFG MT's

 

How's the treadlife? I know MTRs wear pretty fast. I might consider these for my next tire if the tread life was close to the BFG A/T KO.
