New BFG M/Ts. Anyone know when they'll be released?
They look like Krawlers but they are the new BFG M/Ts. I hear they're the new hotness in Off-roading.
Anyone know the scoop with these tires?

Re: New BFG M/Ts. Anyone know when they'll be released?
All BFG Krawler T/A KX tires are L speed rated. Do not use at speeds in excess of 75mph.
This would suck for commuting in California! ![Wink](images/smilies/wink.gif)

It looks like a Krawler but it's the new BFG M/Ts. I don't know the specs on em. All I care about is they look sessy. ![Big Grin](images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

Those are nice looking tires. Wonder what the speed rating/availability/cost will be?

Re: New BFG M/Ts. Anyone know when they'll be released?
I heard from my dealer they might come out in October for us in Canada.
Meaning you guys might get them sooner. ![Beerchug](images/smilies/beerchug.gif)

That's what makes me drool. The sipes.
After I hand sipped my BFG M/Ts the difference was night and day.

How did they hold up after that? ANy chunking or anything else negative to doing that. I am considering getting mine done instead of AT winter tires.

Utility knife. took me about 30 minutes per tire. I cut in about 1/2" deep (About 80% of the lug.). I didn't like the machine siping because it made too many cuts and the possibility of chunking off during off-roading.
It was during the winter time and I was fish tailing in my M/Ts on the snow and ice covered streets. After I siped them, it was like I had on the A/Ts.

30-minutes per tire sounds pretty quick. Is this how you really did it?
