I usually have great luck with BFG All Terrains. Maybe one flat be set of tires (55,000-60,000 miles)
However, here is my recent flat on 8/27/2006 at 110 degrees on the way out from my recent coastal trip. I must have hit a very pointy rock in the
center of the tread. It was too big to put a plug in so we had to put the spare on. These were new tires with only slightly over 1,000 miles on
them. I hate Baja flats as much nicely packed stuff needs to be unpacked to get access to the patch kit, the tools, the jack.....

And of course never take tires installed at the factory to Baja.
My General tires got a flat on my Tacoma's 2nd trip to Baja in late 1996. BFGs went on as soon as I got home.
And then there was my sister's Armada last year with 3 flats on factory tires. This was the worst.

Les' closest dealer is in Santa Rosa, CA. Around these parts in So.Cal, there's America's Tire.

Taco,
That was probably your sister's last trip to Baja.
For Christmas, I'd like a set of BFG Krawler Mud KX's....okay???

Actually, she was on my most recent trip  .
With some 285-65-R18 BGF AT Kos she got as soon as she returned last year...each one must have cost a very pretty peso

Good prices at http://www.discounttiredirect.com free shipping and if you buy wheels and tire mount and balance is free. Just had 4 yokohama geolander atll's
315/75/16 (35") $640 to my door. Oh ya no tax either.
