If they are bias ply, they are a good off road tire, but DEFINATELY NOT SUITED to a daily driver. I used to install them and ran them on my own trucks before, and off the road they ROCK! But they will last about 50 miles on a daily driver(sarcastic)
If they are the radials, I anm sure they are OK, but I havent used them. Most trucks we installed them on were hunting rigs or farm trucks.
Depends on what you use them for.

my mechanic ran them on his 250 for a while and never complained about them, only reason he switched is because they were worn out and he got a free set of BFG's. i know several people runnin them on the road, so they can't be completly bad

Radials or Bias ply?
Those numbers sound like radials, and they are fine for on the road, because they are made just like any other radial(aside from tread). Bias Ply has no radial belts, and will have flat spotting after you sit overnight, or sometimes after you stop at a red light, and they are difficult(but not impossible) to balance, which effects treadwear.
That is the big difference, besides its all about what you are willing to compromise for the look or off road performance of these tires.
I dont mean they are completely bad. I, personally, would not run them on a daily driver, thats all.

I don't think you are going to get 40k out of a Buckshot mudder even if it is a radial. I know a few people that have had them and they usually lasted about 25k at the most, I don't think you'll get much more mileage out of a M/T, if ya want more mileage you'll have to go with an A/T.

yea maybe not 40K, thats usually pretty good miles for a BFG MT, I'd probably say 30 would be about average so long as you keep them rotated and balanced.
