General vs BFG

[kj04libby]

I can't decide whether I want the General Grabber M/T of the BFG KM2. Thoughts and suggestions? Anyone have experience with either of these tires?

Out of those 2 tires the Grabber red letters will be 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000% better then any BFG.

I've never ran a BFG so I have no clue. They suck that bad?

Generally any BFG tire *****,weak sidewalls and extreme poor traction are the high points for the KM2's while being extremely expensive compared to better tires of the same size.

Haha thanks tjkj. Well the reason I was looking at these is because they both come in 33x10.50 I'm gonna regear but I still don't wanna run a 12.50

KM2s are good but HEAVY
BFGs are old they haven't upgraded them for years and years, selling by name only

So would you go with the KM2 or the Grabbers? And are they're any other good 33x10.50s?

I'd take the KM2s over the Grabbers any day
I'd take anything over them shyco::icon_biggrin:

So you going 4.56s or lower

Please correct this information of it is wrong but I was told 4.56 was the biggest I could put in a d30. I'm not standing by that info cause I don't know haha. And would 4.56 not be big enough?

4.88s, listed right on JBAs site even
If I was going to try and run 33s I'd go to 4.88s , with the height plus the weight of the those tires you're going to need low gears -IMO
Like I said I wish I had 4.56s with 32s

Had a set of bfg on my 81 full size blazer traction was subpar for at tires and they wore out quick. Would not buy another set of bfg ever

My experience with Grabbers is that they ride well and provide good traction, but wear fast.

I have had my general grabbers on 2 years in June. They are past the point of where I should have changed them, but I've been very happy with them.
