Some of those roads in Northern Maine are topped with shale and are known to be very hard on tires. We hunt up there and used to bring two spares on week-long trips. My rear BFG also took a hit but it was on the inside sidewall. It took three plugs to get it to hold air. I switched to Nitto Terras which are very close to the Toyo (who owns Nitto). Side by side the tread looks the same but the sidewall on the Nitto appears to be a bit more rugged. Also when flexing unmounted sidewalls, the Nittos are firmer. They also cost $10 or $20 more per tire.
Hey Fred...what are you going to do with the BFGs? I run mine in the summer and they are about used up. Plugs don't bother me so I would be interested...So. Maine.
