Yea I need to make the same decision. I had a set of buckshots a long time ago and they lasted well on the road i have heard of people getting around 80,000ks on the road out of them. I think the bighorns would be a much better tyre off road and if people have got similar ks off them then that would definitely be my pick.

We get 5weeks out of a set of Buckshots on the Landcruisers at work! Serious.5weeks!! but thats thrashing them on very very rough gravel/rock/mud roads,if you can call them roads. After trialing almost every tyre made they seem to be best Wear vs. Price.

Bighorns hands down...

[kaney]

had both as 33" tyres.

I would have bighorns anytime, much quieter and work alot better offroad.

...my near new 33's are for sale

I just fitted Bighorns to my V8 Disco and although i havnt dont many kms they are not that noisey at all and did a bloody good job in the forest after a few guys ripped the track ion front and they couldnt get up, I did:)...but then i was in a true off roader.lol. EASY NOW, u will afford one one day haha.

I have run Bighorns 33" 12.5 for 25'000 KM so far and they are great! I had the same decision as you, Just for the small extra cash I went for Bighorns and glad I did! As my daily drive she's low on noise on road and I'm out hitting the mud / gravel around 28 times a year. One track I do 1 to 2 times a year is west coast clay / mud track. First time I did in BFG and had to use the winch 6 times. Did it again late last year with Bighorns and only used the winch 3 times ... but also know the track better now ... but still I feel the Bighorns did better. I had to get rid of the BFG due to side impact damage, were the Bighorns I've had no problems yet. At the moment they are 1/3 down so I should get around 65'000 KM out of them before changing them Hope this helps.

Oh and my avatar picture is the BFG on the track above
