BFGOODRICH rugged terrain T/A's

[Big Red Monster]

good? bad? worthless? waste of rubber? what you guys think of those? im considering them seeing as i talked to one guy and found out the wranglers i wanted are worth shit and wear out in like 20,000 miles.

 

[panda24619]

they just came out with a new design. so idk about them. get the falkens dude!

 

[Big Red Monster]

i dont want falkens or any other brand Im stubborn lol. I only want either BFGOODRICH or nittos. maybe mickey thompson if the price is right lol. i heard alot of good about those bfgs and i heard alot of bad but the bad is mainly from people with 3500 chevys and dodges
so idk what to do

 

[panda24619]

yeah i was too. but then i realized that bfg isnt all the best! price is always too high! and ive never herd anything bad about the duratracs. have friends who race desert with them. still look new. so just a thought.

ummm there are many BFG products that rate highly or best in their class ATs Mud-terrains, and other street tires.... though ones like the Long Trail T/A are worthless.... Panda I hate falkens. And monster I am with you. Stuck in my ways. All vehicles must have either BFG or Michelin (perhaps nitto, though I dont have much experience with em) Honestly I would get the LTX MS2, and if you want more offroad traction on a street truck LTX AT2s the MS2s are some of the greatest handling, riding, and quietest tires I have ever run or been experienced with.

 

[panda24619]

dont get me wrong i love my bfgs. they are great tires. but i want to upgrade to a different tire. and nothing wrong with the falkens. lots of people run them in the desert too. theres even several off road teams being sponcered by them now.

My brother has been running the Rugged trails on his Sportrac for ages and loves them.
He's on his second set with 150k on the clock. His first set were part of the free factory replacement program when the Firestone debacle happened.

If you want something slightly more highway oriented than the BFG All terrains, then I say go for it.

 

[Big Red Monster]

im not looking at the rugged trail though, im looking at the rugged terrain, thats their new tire. i know alot of people like the duratracs panda but from the guys I been talking to with expeditions and F250s they all say the same thing they are wearing out quickly if most of ur driving is on road, and around here some roads are real ******. I want like an offorad tire but i would like it to handle well on the street so im looking at either the rugged terrains the all terrains or the mud terrain KM2. (yes i know thats not a good street tire but I dont care it looks cool lol)

If it was me and your looking at bfg's i would just get tread wright bfg's you can get them all 4 tires shipped for about $500. When I get new tires for my f150 I am grabbing some tread wrights

 

[Big Red Monster]

no retreads is all Im gonna say. Im not worried to much about the price id rather pay 1100 for tires and not 500 bucks. in past experience i learned specially with tires you get what you pay for.

The Terragrapplers are great for me. Wouldve gotten the BFGs but price was way too good and im very happy with my purchase. They are great for regular driving. Very small hum while driving. Great in the snow. Tried them out this past winter in Philadelphia and South Jersey. If cost means anything then thats the way I would go.

I don't know what your experience with retreads are but I have heard nothing but positive reviews. To me it the same as paying for $200 HID kit when you can get it for $35 at ddmtuning.

BFG AT!!! Great tire that WILL take abuse and still give a good ride. Ive got about 15k on mine with lots of riding on trails and rocks, as well as highway and they are still in great shape. My parents have them on every vehicle, as well as his work trucks too. Cant give an exact mileage how long they will last since we havent gone through a pair yet, but my boss got 60k out of his last pair on his work truck. I paid just under $900 for 4 265 75 16 last summer and they are 10 ply as well.

Cant give any personal experience on other bfg tires as far as performance and durability, but my uncle has a pair off nitto terra grapplers he's put quite a few miles on as well.

 

[panda24619]

got a buddy with the km2s on his spooled expo. he likes them. he goes everywhere 4wds go. he got them at some little hole in the wall mexican shop for $200 a tire. im gonna have to go there to find a good deal on tires.

I know your partial to BFG... but look into the General Grabber AT2... its a cheap BFG AT...

http://www.fourwheeler.com/techarticles/wheels/129_0709_general_grabber_at2_tire_test/index.html

they say its the same as BFG and a whole lot cheaper... ordering a set for my fathers grand cherokee

 

[jacks3am]

The bfg's are a solid choice, get them I sure would! I really like the new rugged trail tread design, dest of both worlds!

B-F-GOODRICH IS THE KING OF OFFROAD TIRES.... I dont want to sound like a spammer, but the amount of sales and reviews of their tires are no lie I had a set of BFG AT KOs on my toyota and while they kinda suck in the mud (mud down here at least) they RAPE any other terrain you put them through. The only time I "needed" 4wd in that little toyota was in Deep mud (like up to the hubs). Thats why there is a pair of 35" BFG mUd Terrains sitting in the garage waiting for their twin brothers!
I dont think that all other tires are crap but I know what I have experience with. I have friends that swear by Toyo MTs (too heavy for me) and ones that swear by Nitto Terra Graps (just a BFG KO immitator, but a good tire) others I know that wont run anything beside goodyear kevlars, and one that says that their boggers are the best all around tire (hahahah)---Bottom Line... Most of my buddies that have jacked up trucks and take em off the pavement run BFG, and swear by them. I will soon be one of those people.

Little more than my $0.02... but i have done more than my fair share of research on tires lol

 

[Big Red Monster]

to solider 777 i had retreads on the caddy i used to have, the tread sperated from the body and I damn near killed myself i spun out at like 50 mph and my friend who was next to me got part of the tire through his side window, how the hell i didnt crash into anything I dont know but thats why Im not going anywhere near a rethread specially since this truck is going to be mine for a very long time, Im prolly going to end up with the KM2 mud terrains in size 285 70 r17

 

[Big Red Monster]

yup my minds made up Im going with the mud terrain km2s, screw the gas mileage and the ride comfort they look badass, now me and expeditionary will be running the same tires lol

 

[Expeditionary]

HELL YEAH!!

KM2s are going to be SWEET!!! Im getting mine on this week! CANT WAIT FOR THE MUD!!!

BFG!
BFG!
BFG!
BFG!
