New BFG M/Ts. Anyone know when they'll be released?

[DennisAJC]

They look like Krawlers but they are the new BFG M/Ts. I hear they're the new hotness in Off-roading.

Anyone know the scoop with these tires?

[DDWH]

All BFG Krawler T/A KX tires are L speed rated. Do not use at speeds in excess of 75mph.

This would suck for commuting in California!

It looks like a Krawler but it's the new BFG M/Ts. I don't know the specs on em. All I care about is they look sessy.

Those are nice looking tires. Wonder what the speed rating/availability/cost will be?

X2. need more info!

[DennisAJC]

I heard from my dealer they might come out in October for us in Canada.


Meaning you guys might get them sooner.

Those will be my next tire. No doubt about it.

A little noisy perhaps?

Which means we've had them since 2005.

Oh, I see they don't have the sipy thingies. My bad.

[MarineHawk]

Has anyone ever seen them before though? They're BFG M/Ts, not Krawlers. Here's the larger view: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/BigPic.jsp?sidewall=Blackwall&tireMake=BFGoodrich& tireModel=Mud-Terrain+T%2FA+KM+DT

And why on earth would they only make them for 22s? http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....in+T%2FA+KM+DT

That's what makes me drool. The sipes.

After I hand sipped my BFG M/Ts the difference was night and day.

How did they hold up after that? ANy chunking or anything else negative to doing that. I am considering getting mine done instead of AT winter tires.

How did you hand sipe them?

Here's a good article if it helps

Utility knife. took me about 30 minutes per tire. I cut in about 1/2" deep (About 80% of the lug.). I didn't like the machine siping because it made too many cuts and the possibility of chunking off during off-roading.

It was during the winter time and I was fish tailing in my M/Ts on the snow and ice covered streets. After I siped them, it was like I had on the A/Ts.

30-minutes per tire sounds pretty quick. Is this how you really did it?
