When i worked with conservation, tires were a big issue.
Bfg were the longest lasting,wranglers were 1/2 the life at best. Bfg rarely got punctures,wranglers were constantly getting flats.
Identical trucks, same roads.
I agree on the BFG's, I always ran Mud Terrains, not as noisy as you think and last pretty long. Now I'm running some Schwabby tires, they are wearing a lot faster, think they are "Fun Country's"
