I can't decide between the two either. BFG M/T or Firestone M/T

So im taking into consideration....which gives better gas mileage. Since firestone does no make skinny tires than i might go with bfg. But the BFG tires weigh 6 lbs more.

Reading reviews, ive seen that the average lifetime for these tires are 50k. Ive seen the firestone as high as 70+ and the bfg m/t as high as 90+

I highly doubt it is a very capable tire when it reaches anywhere near that mileage

I also doubt a M/T is lasting anywhere near that amount

pretty impressive, I've never known anyone who had a pair anywhere near that long, even a few people around here with samurais which are very light never got that much out of them

Rotate on every oil change. Align and balance we you need it.
