They are really good desert tires.

They are expensive because BFG doesn't make a ton of them. You can find them cheaper if your on a race team, but they're still over $500 a tire.

You can find good used ones on race dezert all the time though.

I would think your rainy panama weather would make these tires a bad option for you.

I m not from The US, so i can use non DOT tire without any problem.

Ok, i see you have those tire on your truck. How many milles till those tires need change or rotation?

Arent all weather rated?

He's saying that they suck in the rain because there is no siping.

They also flat spot overnight. And ride like iron. But in the dirt they are great. Everywhere else they suck.

If you are getting flats because rocks are chewing up your tires, and you don't care how they feel on the street, these babys are the hot ticket. You don't care about DOT approvals so save some bucks and hunt for some race version, they are the ones with ribs on the sides...TA KR...There is also a mud version that I have seen but have never used, if you have the need. They can be found but are not cheap, however if you are running hard offroad these tires will save you money because they will hold up better.

Great info.

Basically, don't buy these tires. They will not be good in the rain at all. Look at some others.
