After I hand sipped my BFG M/Ts the difference was night and day.

How did you hand sipe them?

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?

I have the BFG M/T in size 22"...i really like the look but they are a little loud on the streets. i've always wondered if they would be better if i had them siped.

I still don't think you can beat the Toyo Open Country M/T for the great all around tire it is

That is excellent info. I love the MTs, but they were absolutely terrible in the snow.

I run BFG MT's and have had no problem in heavy snow, infact they go through the stuff better than any previous tire I've had
