Nitto makes a great tire. The BFG's run small. I'm currently running Cooper Discoverer STT on my jeep JK in the 37/12.50/17 size. Love them, they ride and handle great. They make noise but definitely not the worst I've heard.
Here is a pic. The cool thing is they have a really aggressive side wall tread pattern which adds to the aggressive look.
Mine are only 31's but they pull good especially when you air them down to a out 20psi. Got them at Tire Kingdom. They ride great and are not very noisy.
Bfg Km2's.
Don't have them on the 1009 but run 35's on my other truck. Looks aside they are probably the best Mud tire you can buy. The looks of a tire will only showcase its ability to deliver what the industry calls mechanical traction. More and more tire manufacturers are replacing what once had to be done mechanically with what can be done chemically. The bfg has a functional high void tread and superb compounding for grip on the less sloppy surfaces. What it all comes down to is determining what best suits your needs. If its strictly off road/mud or you have little concern for road ability and ride quality I'd look at some crazy super swampers with paddles for tread. The bfg is gonna deliver exceptional combined mud/pact dirt and rock traction as well as be the smoothest riding mud tire you'll find. Tire manufacturers have been pumping out design after design of what they call "all terrain look" tires that do nothing but make some dudes lifted jeep look the part. All bark no bite. They are like that on purpose. The manufacturers realize that guy is probably never really gonna really take it off road. I mean reeeeeeally off road, something more than the dirt road to a fishing cabin.
The bfg's are tried and true. Built to deliver. Every single Baja race and rockcrawler competition out there is won on bfg tires. Same technology in the their Baja and krawler tires goes into the mud terrain. When I see a rig with bfg's I know the guy operating it takes his sh*t serious
I ran Nittos on my Jeep J/K. The wore great and I never had any issues in the mud, snow or ice. They didn't like standing water at highway speeds. I'd buy another set in a heart beat
