The BFG ATs are pretty heavy and draggy and do make a fairly significant difference to the MPG - easily 4 or 5 Mpg on my Hilux compared to the factory very mild AT Bridgestones.

I wonder how it would do with a more modest cruise speed - 30+ should be achievable I reckon.

The last time I drove a heavy vehicle without BFGs, (my old LR110CSW), I got stuck on the unmade lane to a client. The next time I visited that client, I was in my Morgan and the ground was as hard as iron.

I have no idea what tyres I'd run instead, at least once a week, I'm driving in conditions that would trap a sensible car on road tyres.

It looks good in blue. I saw one in a weird pinky cream colour yesterday.
Looking on the configurator it's called "Magic Mushroom"! hippy

Ah, I wasn't suggesting you take them off, I run them all the time as well just pointing out the effect on MPG. They're great tyres despite the drag, almost 80k in my current set with plenty of tread left.
