Anything BFG is overrated. I'll take half worn DuraTrac's over new BFG's any day.

I can't say that I have, but I have friends that have. Seems once the BFG's go less them 50%, they loose tremendous amounts of traction. They also don't wear as well as others. I've been running Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armors for a while now, 3 sets, and love the all round performance. Only down side is they don't wear off quick enough to upgrade to the DuraTracs as soon as i like. I've been doing more and more camping in the bush, and my buddy that runs the DuraTracs has no problem going anywhere.

BFG's are a nightmare during rain when they start to harden out- even slight wet roads will give you serious trouble in the second season.
I will never use them again.

The Duratracs are a "bit" pricey in europe so they are rarely seen here.

I work for an oilfield company that turns over close to 200 pickups a year in western canada alone.... Everything that see's field work gets duratracs, period. They are that good, I have over 45,xxxkm on mine and they're still better then 50% and thats under abusive use on a loaded down 3/4ton hotshot.
