    That's what I thought. But then in the rain it was impossible to keep from drifting ever time I turned. Not sure it was a downside though :D

    So you like to drift in your truck? I hear there are some things you can do to improve that. Lowering, smaller tires and various other things. Try bright wheels for the look of the guys in TV.

    Added extra awesomeness to its original awesomeness.
    Yes, that is what I battled with for a while, before I got the ATs again. Now I think I made the wrong decision, simply because of price. However, they are great tires for their intended use, never had any problems.

    dont get me wrong i love the BFG AT's they're excellent for everything i've put them through(mall crawling is tough on these tires especially at the north park where you have to fight for spots :D) but there really expensive and with a 9 month old son i need to find more cost effective ways to go about things so that i have more money for his needs (milk and diapers are ridiculous)

    I run the Wardens in load range E. I will never buy a brand new tire ever again. 285/75/16 for $130. Same exact tread pattern as the BFG all terrains.

    In my opinion yes. The only problems you hear about retreads are from 18 wheelers running them on 80,000lbs trailers. I've gone through 3 sets and have never once had any issue. I've beat the tires through hell and back and abused the shit out of them and they hold up just fine. I wouldn't hesitate to use in any situation, besides maybe driving 100+

    Only reason I say its not safe is because the tires aren't rated for that speed. I honestly don't think that any 33" AT tire is actually...
