I've literally put hundreds of thousands of miles on BFG AT's, with many of those miles on forest service roads and non-pavement out here in Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, Montana, both E and C rated tires, and knock on wood, I've never had a flat. I took my wife's Subaru on a hunting trip this year and on the second day of driving county dirt roads in eastern Colorado, I had a flat tire, with Falken Wildpeaks... I know, I know, its not an apples to apples, but my point is, BFGs have never let me down. I've never experienced poor traction with them in snow or rain either. I hear that a lot, and maybe its just that where I live, we just dont get that much rain, and when it does rain, its usually short events that are over quick. But I drive a lot in the snow, and BFGs have always felt solid and had confident grip.
