How many miles did you get out of the mt/r's? I am getting ready to buy them in either 35's or 37's for my wifes TJ. They have a good deal on base for these right now, $175 for 35's and $200 for 37's I have to get her bigger tires so I can have here 33 swampers for my XJ. Thanks Doug

I've been running the 35" bfg's for about a year. Very little wear, locked in the rear. Very good allaround tire. Mud, Rocks, Street. They get my thumbs up. Oh yeah I'd much rather have BFG's as a daily driver. Had 32" swampers and beat the snot out of me.

I've used BFG MT (old non-KM 33x12.5) and Swamper TSL Radial (31x9.5) and both gave pretty good service (DD and in the NC clay, some rocks)
The BFGs were probably better suited to DD use IMHO, but the Swampers weren't very loud. They just wore down pretty fast.
As for durability, I cut one BFG through the tread @ 700 miles, and I killed one of the TSLs with a sidewall cut (both were in really deep mud holes at the time, and I was in the "gettin it" mode)
If it were for trail-only (or if fast treadwear & increased noise isn't a concern) I'd say TSL-SX for sure. The only drawback is the sizing: 35x15.5" or 36x12.5". Since I've never tried GY, I can't comment on the BFGMT vs GYMT/R, other than to parrot that the west-coast guys swear by the MT/R, and I was pretty happy with my MTs.
BFG is a generous sponsor of
events and the Giveaway XJ, so I am biased in that regard, and they are offering a trail-hazard repair service... (which may be attractive to tire killers like I)

They would be pretty good tires for you. I loved them. Dug in really well, great traction. Would go with them again if they had the right size that I'm looking for.
