Yep its horses for courses. If i did a shitload of mud/clay for the sake of it like I used to with the lux I would run two sets of wheels tires like I did with the lux.
The BFG is not the ultimate mud tire but for me and the driving I mostly do(nowdays) it is the ultimate tire. Hard loose terrain Gravel/shale/riverbeds etc it is unbeatable IMHO and still is very capable on both wet tarseal corners at as fast as you like and thick deep sloppy mud with a hard base(farm tracks/pugged up paddocks etc) but you do need to insert the boot in the soft stuff to clear them.
Went out with the 4wd club up hira on sun and anyone who nows the area will know it is legendary for its ability to fuck tires(if you can get half a race before your rear tire on a bike is absolutely fucked your doing well)

With the kids in the back of the stock standard landcruiser I drove everything except a steep down hill with a massive rut that only 3 custom wagons drove and would happily have driven it by myself if had no kids and the last part of one clime that had a nasty breakover angle that the LWB would have had to have jumped(which it could have)
I towed and watched other standard and semi custom's be towed up breaks and threw creeks where I barley spun a wheel.
Yep the BFGs do cut if you get the wellie in on sharp rock but there is no need to like with other tires they just grip.
