I like the look of the BF Goodrich tires, but I've never owned them.

BFGs definitely. The AT is a good tire. I replaced a set of those with M/Ts and really like them too. They need balancing a lot more often but are very aggressive and have very little road noise.

Alot of people ive talked to that had Michelin MTX had high remarkes for them. As for myself I really liked Yokahama Geolander AT. A great tire but short life span.

I put Michelins on my last truck. When I ordered my new 2002 Silverado 4x4 I asked for the bigger slightly more aggressive tires. It has Firestone Wilderness AT's on it.

I agree with BFG's. I've had them on a number of vehicles and I think they perform the best.

I know they suffered some reputation problems last year but I like the Firestone Wilderness A/T. Being a farmer I've over 3/4 of a million miles of off road driving, they seem to hold up the best over all for me.

...and another vote for BFG All Terrain TA/KO's. I have 'em on my Tundra and really like them. I chose them because I had such good wear and ride with my BFG MT's that were on my Wrangler years ago. The BFG's are very durable, good wearing, and good riding tires.

I have BFG All Terrain KO's on my 2001 4x4 Suburban. I love 'em. Snow, dirt, mud no problem. The truck came with crap General tires and I promptly replaced them.

Yet another vote for the BFG All-Terrain KO tires. I've been running a set on my Nissan for the past couple years and couldn't be happier. They are a great tire in every type of weather.

Quoted: Another vote for the BFG All Terrains, just make sure you get the newer KO version..... Yep, can't go wrong with these. Stay AWAY from Super Swamper or Bogger extreme mudders, unless you do serious mud work on a regular basis. They wear VERY quick on the street and can be difficult to balance. Edited to add: Couple of my friends are running the Goodyear MT/R with good results. Might consider them myself next time. [url]http://www.goodyeartires.com/catalog/products/WRLMTR.html[/url] |

Generals. My former neighbor, an automotive engineer, always put them on his trucks. I bought several sets & got a lot of life out of them, up to 80,000 miles. I don't drive them too hard, though.

I had the BFG All Terrain KOs in 33x12.5 on my Ranger and they licked a$$!1 I bought them for $120 each installed. They provide a smooth, quiet comfy long lasting ride that gripped in everything well.

Cooper tires. They've worked great for me for the last 16 years. The last I heard they are the only American owned tire company that makes all their tires in America.

The Goodrich Corporation has not made or sold tires in more than a decade. This business was sold to Michelin, which continues to sell tires under the BFGoodrich brand. [url]www.bfgoodrich.com/discont.asp[/url] |

I rotate them requently (about every 5k), have never had to re-balance them and have been getting 45k-55k per set. |

I'll be a party pooper and admit to going to car tires! More specifically, van/road pickup tires. I went from BFG Mud Terrains 235/15/75 to Goodyear Wrangler HTs on my '88 S10, years ago. I bought the thing with the mud terrains, and hated them. They were about worn out, and I wanted a less aggressive tire anyway. Those things were loud, and you could feel individual lugs making contact when going very slow.
97% of my driving is on the road so it was foolish to buy an aggressive tire. Most of the other 3 is sand, and you don't want an aggressive tire there anyway. I do have 4wd, so if two wheel drive doesn't cut it, 4 wheel generally will. Here again, mud or steep hills can defeat me, but I don't do that anyway. I just can't plan on having decent traction when spinning the tires. There's nothing to grab and throw dirt. In the greater scheme of things, the trade off in favor of a smooth and quiet ride was the right decision. |

BFG is about to come out with this new tire. The Krawler looks good! Testing is still ongoing if I my information is correct. Maybe next year, they are saying. |

I went through 3 sets of BFG All Terrain T/As on my Chevy 4x4. Great tires but I think the most mileage I got out of them was 40K. If you're not going to take the truck off road the BFG Long Trail T/As are a better choice. They don't "sing" as much and you'll get more mileage before they need replacement.
I got alot of miles out of a set of Michelin LTXs on a Jeep Cherokee, over 70K before I traded the vehicle in and they still had plenty of tread left. They weren't that good on hard pack snow and black ice though. No problem after putting the chains on. I have Goodyear Wrangler RT/S on my Ford truck now and they seem to be okay so far. |

Forget the BFGs, they're a good tire but I prefer Nittos. I've ran both along with Michelins and Goodyears but the Nitto gives the best ride and don't seem to growl as bad either. The price for a nice meaty (LT305/70) 16" Terra Grappler AT is only $160 and well worth the price. I also run Nitto 450s on my Capri and I can tell you it's like the thing is glued to the road even at *ahem* excessive speed.

The BFG tires are good, I've had 'em. However, before you buy them, look for Cooper tires. They make a great tread pattern all terrain tire, and it's quiet as a mouse. Got some on my Toyota and really like 'em, they were also less expensive that the BFGs.

If you run around in the mud alot get the BFG MTs. If you like you drick to stick to the road get some Goodyear wrangler AT/S. These tires rock. I have a fullsize bronco, slightly tweked engine, that can spin most 31x10.5 tires. Except goodyears. The AT/S is fairly avresive but behaves exactly like a street tire. They are also the tires that the local PD uses on thier SUVs.

Goodrich tires look great. Only problem is they wear out in 20-25K miles. Goodyear ain't much better.
Get some Bridgestone Desert Duelers in A/T tread. Road noise is non-existant & the tires are good for 60K miles. I'm on my 5th, 6th set of them on different vehicles. You won't regret them. |

Get the BFG AT's Ive got them On my 4-runner and they look great, they actually make your truck look much cooler, plus they are a great all around tire. If your looking for a more off road tire I like BFG MT's or mickey thompson Baja claws, or of course super swampers.. I had a set of 35" boggers on my cherokee, very cool , but not for the road.

Quoted: Goodrich tires look great. Only problem is they wear out in 20-25K miles. I don't know what you're doing wrong, but I have about 65K on my front BFG ATs and there's still about 3/16"-1/4" tread left on the edges. My truck is always loaded or towing well over GVW, I head ito off-ramps at 60ish and try to maintain as high as speed as possible, do some moderate 4-wheelin', etc, and nothing seems to wear those tires. |
