    15 psi and then grab rocks like a hand. had them lower, but there was no need for this particular terrain.

    Yeah, they look like awesome tires! I have Destination MT's on ine now and being 2wd I'll probably never go back to an AT, i was crawling through mudholes. Maybe once I do my T-Case mod some Nitto TG's will be in the picture

    they're a very sticky tire. softer rubber compound that gives them very good dry and wet grip on rocks, stumps, road, etc. the only downfall is that they cake pretty quickly, but then again, it's expected from an AT. like you can see though, they're a strong tire. I've never broken the bead on them or sliced a sidewall. een ran them down at 5 psi a couple years back when we had 3 blizzards back to back in Virginia.

    wanted the nitto terra grappler casings, but I also wanted D range. they are currently only doing the 285 terra grapplers in E range. I Had them check, and they had the BFG ATs in stock in D range, so i went with those. Really don't like the bfg at tread, but it's a pretty good sidewall, and it has a rim guard lip which was one of my priorities.

    and I have more videos, I just haven't had time to load them. any luck finding the knife?

    Good deal. I would have done the same on the casings. The only thing holding me back from buying these, when the time comes, is tread life. Seems Scott's wore out quickly.

    Can't wait to see more vids. Haven't looked for knife in tent stuff yet. Will look tonight.

    scott has two things working against him as far as tread life goes. 1) kedge grip, which wears a little faster. 2) he told me he drives 30,000 miles a year, which would blow through some MTs ina year. i'd be more than pleased to get 30k out of these at $100 less per tire. even with shipping, you come out on top if you have to buy tires again in 25k.
