and (for the money) they are fine for street use - wet or dry - for about half the price of the Pirellis. I'm no tire expert but tread depth is important in the wet - so change them when they get below half tread depth. For a garage queen or low annual miler they are ideal. Keep in mind the Bfg's only come in a 245/50/16 and the 5% difference in aspect ratio (from the stock 45), makes about a 1 inch difference in overall diameter, which will result in speedometer error.
