The last three sets of off-road tires were BFG A/Ts, then siped GY MTRs on my Sierra, and then back to the stock BFGs on my H2. Couple of comments and then one question:
I think the MTRs must have somewhat better sidewall protection and are probably better in the mud and maybe other applications and have better sidewall tread than the BFGs, but I have noticed the BFGs seem to have much better traction on wet pavement, snow, and ice than the MTRs. Maybe it's because of the harder rubber on the MTRs.
Both of those tires have triple-ply sidewalls. I've noticed that even some of the really aggressive off-road tires only have double sidewalls. Are triple-ply sidewalls always better in protecting against sidewall punctures than double-ply tires? Or does it depend on the type of sidewall plies or something else?
