I expect the BFG's will last the longest and perform very well.

I have had my Coopers for a while,they were bought second hand,were on my CJ,then my Toyota,loads of offroad abuse,and still good,so i reckon they will give BFG`s a good run for the money when it comes to lasting

you could try the kumho kl71 not a bad tyre but wears slightly quicker than the bfg but still performs well in the mud and cheaper

At least 85% of my driving is on tarmac and only 15% is off-road or laning, but I would go with a M/T tyre as I know the times I’m off-road or laning, the Jeep would have to be recovered all the time.

The Simex in the J33P link are made from a very soft rubber and won’t last long on tarmac, but great in mud!

I currently run Kumho MTs. The only criticism I have is with the lack of tread on the shoulder/side-wall like you get with the Coopres. The Kumho KL71s look a great tyre fitted with probably slightly more bias towards tarmac than a traditional MT, but I recall the tread depth is slightly less than a traditional MT. :smt102

You'll get better tyre wear from the BFG MT on the road but I've heard that the Cooper has a better sidewall grip for mud plugging. The KL71 has a fairly soft compound so would probably wear out the quickest.

If I had to pick I'd go for the Cooper STT but at the end of the day the choice is always going to be your own  :lol:
