Up here in the north [Edmonton, Alberta] we have SERIOUS potholes. I don’t know if it’s softer rubber or more give in the tires but the ride is WAY smoother! The speedo being out… well now I just drive the exact speed limit and the oversize tires will automatically put me 13% over, less math to do while driving."

Plus you can crank up your torsion bars to get another inch of clearance. The combination gives you 12 inches of clearance, which is as much or more than the Touareg, Cayenne, RR, Disco, etc. I've been driving like this for years with no ill effects." |

BFG Baja T/A Rock
On the Dakar 2005 many teams, including Mitsubishi and VW use the
BFG Baja T/A Rock in a relatively narrow racing dimension 235/85 R16.
It has six nylon layers and is thus quite puncture resistant.
It's a racing tire. Flat spots develop when standing. Driving off in
the morning it may shake a bit until warmed up and the flats are evened out.
On sections with > 95% soft sand, BFG Baja T/A Sand tires can be used with a
smoother profile and lower rolling resistance in sand. But they are also
softer and thus less puncture resistant.
The Baja T/A Rock is usually run at 32 psi on hard surfaces and deaired
to 19 psi on sand, less if stuck.
