I recently put on 4 BFG traction T/A tires on my ride, they are awesome. I
got them online from discount and had them mounted at one of their stores.
The Kumho 'Powermax' tires that were replaced were junk in comparison. The
BFG is much better overall but especially rain and snow, I'll be buying them
again when needed.
