Oh yeah, another vote against ANY of the Wranglers I've ever owned.
Poor wear, poor traction, poor ability to leave anything left in my
wallet.
I like the Eagle road tires, but the Wranglers blow.

I was torn between the BFG and the Bridgestone. What tipped the balance for me
is that I spend more time on road than off, and the BFG A/T is only rated to
90mph (On I25 that's just a bit above the average speed. You need
to go 95-100 to pass the slow pokes only doing 85 in the left lane :-)
But if you do more serious off-road, the sidewall on the BFG is more puncture
resistant.
