I was actually a little apprehensive as to how they would handle the snow and ice up here in Canada, but after going through the last half of last winter i can tell you that I was very impressed. One area you really get in trouble here is when you have a lot of sloppy snow between lanes on the highway, and you are trying to change lanes to pass a truck that is spraying rocks and sleet at you. These tires just bust right through the slop like nothing. With my previous Revo2's or the stock tires the truck would just be all over the place and it made passing scary.

Our family also has a small trailer and I can tell you these tires have vastly improved ride stability while pulling. Probably not a surprise considering LT vs. P, but I am really appreciating the difference.

The wear rate has been very good. To me the tires still look brand new after 8 months. There is just so much damn tread on these things!

I have not spent any time mud bogging so can't give a review on that, but for light 4x4 and logging / gravel road travel they have been working great so far.

Here are some picks with the trailer...and yes I know the bike rack is rediculous

I was trying to avoid (i) building a receiver hitch off the back of the trailer which is a big job, (ii) putting the bikes in the trailer which is a total hassle for short stops, and (iii) purchasing new rooftop racks and installing the bikes on the roof of the 4runner, which means I would have to remove my ski racks...not a deal killer but in my opinion a hassle none the less.

One advantage to having the bikes on top of the 4runner or in the trailer is that you reduce your overall length, which saves you about $25 each time you ride on a BC Ferry trip ($6/foot). It takes us 3 ferry trips each way to get to our summer place in the Gulf Islands.

Well that was long-winded, but I guess i am still searching for that perfect solution.

I'm not saying the BFG's are "better", just totally different. Less high-way, more my-way.

The iPhone picture quality is not the best...

.25" is not going to make much of a difference. Get the better quality Spidertrax, definitely don't use ebay ones that aren't hubcentric if you value your life.
