BFG sends us the tractor looking blanks, then we cut them in different patterns and try them out. We hope to see one of the Avalanche patterns become the new competition pattern for BFG. They are constructed from the old Moab edition compound.

Any report on how those tires are performing?

I think Tracy Jordan was running those at Chimney Rock last weekend. They looked like they were gripping pretty good! I'm glad to see that BFG wants to compete with Goodyear for a spot in the competition market. :)

Hmmmmmmmmmm. Interesting. I was at that event and
talked to the BFG guys personally. They told me that those
tires are not available to the general public yet. They're prototypes.

Read the whole link???????????? I was at TDS. I'm in the club
that puts the event on. I talked to the BFG people that were at
TDS and was told the tires are not available to the general public.
I don't know what other people were told or have heard. All I
can tell you about is what I was told by the BFG reps.

Maybe so, but if you look in this pic, what do you see in the background (hint: look at the writing on the side ;) )?

Looks like THEIR BFG rep is who they are getting their info from...

So maybe the reps are the ones who don;t have a clue :p

I know he's a test bed. That was why I said it was a preview
of the tires when I posted the link. I've read the entire link and
I"ve met the guy that put the link together.
