I have Toyo's at the moment and they are one of the stickest and smooth tires I have owned. On the other side BFG will probably last longer.

i have decided to give t1rs a try because i've had experience with kdws and i like it but my adventurest side got the best of me. Ethier way i can go wrong choose any of them. However, i do know the kdws will last longer.

I am partial to the KDW. The only Toyo tire that I use is the RA-1.

Actually the sidewalls are a lot better on the T1-R, you are probably thinking of the T1-S that had weak sidewalls.
