David,

As we live in the same city I'd like to offer my experience...

Out of the last three trucks I've owned (not including the current) two of them had BFG T/A's. While they were great for three seasons... they were poor on snow and ice. For example, the parking lot at the Carriage House was icy where I had to stop on a small incline to exit onto MacLeod Trail. I had to put it into four wheel drive to get out. That's only one example of many... I did get 130,000 kms out of them where I changed them out for Nokian's and didn't have a problem on ice after that.

The other truck was two wheel drive where I had to take the BFG's off during the winter and opted for Michelin LTX and was happy with those.

IMO BFG rubber compound is too hard for our climate. Great for wear but lousy for traction on ice...

I will however go with the BFG Commercial T/A for the Monty when it comes in. I just won't put any BFG on the TV.

How's the Maxxis tires on the 3150 working for you?
