What works best on the hot, asphalt? Sandy washes? Do you favor road manners or handling in the rough stuff?

My favorite is the Interco TrXus MT (pictured right). Best traction and strong sidewalls with a nice, quiet hum on the pavement...

BFG All Terrain - three ply sidewalls and 80% of the Desert Explorers run it with great success. Not for heavy mud, it's a desert tire.

If you are old enough to remember....Armstrong Norseman......
now days.. guess it is the BFG A/T.......

Armstrong TRU TRACS
Perfect Baja tire, nice rounded shoulders for improved floatation in sand!
I got mine at Dick Cepek's in El Cajon... on my '75.5 (401 V-8) Jeep Cherokee Chief...
The Norseman was closer to today's All Terrain TA I recall.

Baja Skins.....the ones I used to buy for about 5 dollars mounted. Forget balancing.

My choice is the BFG TA. But I'm sure there are other good tires out there. I've used a couple of others but they didn't stack up overall to the BFG,
mostly from tread wear. Never tried a Tyro that Robby Gordon is using. Looked them up on a web site and they were pretty expensive. The off-road race
scene is overwhelming in favor of BFG for chase and buggies, in part due to the BFG pits. The race trucks use a special race tire supplied by BFG with
the trophy trucks using a tire in a tire. Road noise is not a consideration for me for my trucks. For a car yes.

All four of our vehicles have BFG AT. Never had a flat(knock on DK's head)

(Remember the definition of "Happiness in Baja")
<<all four tires up in the morning>>

David K, when your factory BFGs wear out, what do you plan on replacing them with??? BFG AT/KOs?
This Says It All!

yeah, too bad they had to spray paint the news all over the rocks at Catavina.
BFG rates pretty low in my book until they have a better respect for "our Baja"
TMW - 1-21-2006 at 08:40 PM
I've been through this before with JR and he never gave me the location of where it was painted, other than a picture he took and even then couldn't
give me a year. Catavina is a big place, if you got a location I'm all ears. How do you know it was someone from BFG that did it. The offical BFG pits
are setup with signs not paint and the people that run BFG off road would like to know who is doing this too. If you have factual information lay it
out and I'll see it gets to the right people.
TMW - 1-21-2006 at 08:42 PM
For your information BFG just won the 20th year deal this last Baja 1000 race and it didn't go through Catavina.
