I've used both. I had the BFG 345.55.15's and now have the MT 325.50.15's. The BFGs were 2" taller and 2" wider. With the MT's I don't have to have the rear end of the car cranked up nearly as high to clear and I get a much better ride. They both produced 60' times in the 1.50's so considering that the MT's are smaller, I have to conclude that they hook up better. I've never put the car on a skid pad so I can't quantify the handling but it "feels" like the MT's do a better job on the street. Fortunately, I've never gotten caught in the rain with the MT's but I can tell you it was plenty exciting to hydroplane off the highway in a heavy downpour with the BFG's. Big time pucker factor. Fortunately, the desert was dovoid of large rocks, trees, and cactus where it happened so I just collected some sage brush in the grill opening and continued to motor back on down the road. My vote is for the MT's. There are cars running in the 8's on 9" or 10" MT's so they must be pretty darn good.
