I can't say enough good about the BFG AT's, they last longer and get better traction than any other all terrain I've tried. I run a set on my F-150, F350 Powerstroke, and 86 Bronco. I also run the new KM2's on my 69 Bronco and love them. For the money you can't beat them!
The BFG's ultimately were my second choice, for no other reason than I wanted to give these Mickey's a try and the fact that the Mickey's look just as (if not more so???) aggressive as the BFG's.
I had a Set of the BFG AT's on my 2000 Lariat and absolutely loved them. The 305/55/20 BFG and Mickey cost roughly the same so I simply wanted to try the "newer" tire. I am 100% happy with my decision thus far.
ONE SIMPLY CANNOT GO WRONG WITH EITHER OF THESE TIRES.

Not sure how you get the impression BFG ATs or BFG Muds are a problem in a high heat environment such as Arizona. It's been a lot of years now, but back in the 90s I ran BFG ATs on an old International Harvester in Tucson for 5 years. Friends of mine from school had BFG Muds on their F100s and Jeeps...

It's all about speed. Average speeds in Phoenix hover anywhere between 70-80 MPH in 110° heat on rubberized pavement. Even car tires get taxed in this environment.
Add the heavier tread and wider tires with taller sidewalls and you can see why a blowout is more probable.
