The BFG are orders of magnitude better in the rain than some of the "Dayton" brand of tires I ran for a while. They were a local company owned by Firestone, that made tires. They were also a customer of the company I worked for. I personally made money from them so I felt it would be nice to use their product. A set of 4 was just over 240 bucks, mounted, balanced, and tax, out the door price. They even had a mileage warranty. That really messed with the mind of one of the tire guys when I came in with a car with just 200,085 miles to get new tires. The odometer only showed 85 miles and I told him it was 200,085 but in the end he wrote it up as 20,085 so I could wear out those tires in 25,000 miles, and the mileage warranty was showing I drove only 5,000 miles.
The Dayton's were fine in dry weather. A bit scary in the wet, and horrible in snow or ice. Just terrible. I was happy to go to a different tire brand. I would have changed tires even if I owned the company.
I bet I have had 3 or 4 set of the BFG tires on the Elky. Lots of other brands as well.
