Damien,
I have the BFG's on my RR, very happy so far both with wet road adhesion and wear.

I have not done enough km's yet to form an opinion but so far no real noise on the highway, feel a very slight 'rumble' at very slow speed,have not gone off road, yet am hoping to over easter
Had a set a bit over four years ago, and the overall grip was better when I went to BFG MT's, particularly on bitumen in the wet. In the wet, the Bridgeys could be interesting :DQuote:

and getting back to 255/85's

In Europe there is a far wider range in 255/85, but you are limited AFAIK to these three in Australia.
I'm about to replace the BFG's with the Maxxis. Two reasons, it became harder for my tyre bloke to obtain BFG, and the Maxxis are significantly cheaper. It will be interesting to see how they go after two sets of BFG's.
Hey Rick,
What sort of Kms you getting out of your BFG MTs?
I know a few, like Barney, who have had 100,000kms out of a set
