Driving BF GoodRich Mud Terrain T/A KM2 on the road

BFG All Terrains all the way had them on my old truck bes tire i have ever owned as soon as i lift my new truck im putting 33 A/Ts on it I will never buy another tire!

 

i ran three sets of bfg/at's 30x950's on my first gen taco... averaged 70k per set.
that was a light little truck though..would like to try something different on my new 2010 taco dc off road if i knew i could get the mileage. does anyone know if 265/75/16's will fit a stock truck?

 

They should, might rub a tiny bit but my guess for what its worth would be yes.

 

had mine for like 3,000 and i love them. not too loud but you can hear them which i kinda like. great on and offroad and relatively cheap

 

I used to feel that way about them too. They were great tires. But money = the Generals and I can honestly say that for being a cheaper, less known tire, that they are a better tire than the BFG's. The tread is almost the same on them both, but the generals are siped a bit better, and they grip the road rather than just meet the road like the BFG's did. Granted, when I bought them I was kind of worried because I thought I would be downgrading, but was surprised to find the Grabbers were in my opinion better. I guess what I am saying is, don't close yourself off to one tire. I understand you have had good luck on the BFG, but try the grabbers and I bet you won't regret it. If my wife ends up with a 4X4 i will try the Duratracs on hers. Just to use the opportunity to try something different.

The problem with tires is that they are too expensive to experiment with. (at least for most people) So we research ourselves to death on them. And that leads to everyone buying what have been around for years. The general grabbers have been around as long, but have not had the publicity of the BFG corp.

Just my .02

 

Couldn't said it better myself

 

I'm not knockin other tires, just talking from my experience. I've been driving for 30 years and had a lot of trucks with the BFG AT that's all. It's hard to "chance" trying a different tire when I know about a good one. Don't fix what ain't broken. Yeah, I'm an old geezer, so I don't do change very well.....

 

Dude, I hear ya. I wasn't being an ass about it. Tires ain't cheap by any stretch of the imagination. I was pretty much forced into a new tire, but ended up making out better than before. IMO. Not knock'n anyone for anything.

 

Another vote for the Grabbers! Suprisingly enough, I was impressed with them in light snow and the rain. Getting my monies worth is quite important to me and so far I'm very pleased with them. Another plus is that they're snowflake stamped.

 

I had grabber's on my old Toyota truck and will be buying them again for my current truck. Great tire!

 

I got the BFG A/T's as well.... I gotta say that I do like them, Except when they start flinging rocks! They fling rocks like crazy and dont clean out well at all!!
And they also suck in any snow over 4-5 inches, bc they get packed easy and dont clean out well.(My own Experience)
But everything else they seem great in, and they wear awsomely. I mean... I haven't rotated them in 15K miles and they still have great wear, But I will be rotated in the next couple months.

 

they are probably the quietest mud tire ive heard a friend of mine has a set of 35's on a 3/4 ton chevy 4door he has 25k on them they are down to about 30% tread

 

People with the grabbers what kinda price did you pay???

 

long time no post... cool on bringing back an older thread...

so my BFG M/T 33's are pretty much done and need to be replaced.

I was thinking... and let me know your opinion.... I was thinking sticking with the super aggressive look of the M/T's and possibly going to the stock size tire... what do ya'll think?


I have had the BFG A/T's in the past and i still believe they are beasts! but.... the amazing aggressive look of a M/T tire will make all the difference to the on lookers and for yourself.

So even though my truck is kinda a street queen for the moment, its worth spending the extra cash on a Daily Driver tire that is a mudder.


Can someone tell me the difference between the few BFG M/T's they offer? thankssss

where should i buy them? i'm looking to buy them asap.

 

I LOVE these tires! the do great on the rocks in the Rocky Mountains and blow through the mud! run quieter then the Goodyear Wranglers that where on it when i bough it. I have only put 5k or less on them so i cant comment on wear. but hey, they look BA too

 

I have 29,340 on orginal set, C grade, 265/75-16 but at $180 each I am putting buying new as long as I can

 

ive got about 40k on my bfg mt km's (mostly highway miles) they are considerably louder then stock but if you regularly rotate and balance them they will last, i'd say mine are probably about 50-60% tread left now

 

Hello All,

New to the forum, and hopefully with this question on the tires I'm not asking a stupid one. I have a 2009 Prerunner Sport long bed double cab. Presently, I have Goodyear Wrangler MT/R with Kevlar on 17" rims. In the winter I have had problems with 5" plus inches of snow, in rain and normal driving they run great. I'm looking at the BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM2 for the truck when I change tires due to the snow problem. Overall like I have said when no snow the Wranglers run good, but heavy snow I dread (added weight to the bed during winter). The tires do not kick out snow out of the treads.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

 

Mud tires in general are only OK in the snow, my Mud Star Radial M/T Mud Terrain are simply terrible on packed snow and ice, not enough contact area, and NO sipes.

Many of the Goodyear Duratracs have the mountain symbol and can be studded. Those might fit your needs better.

I go right up icy mountain roads in my '11 AC, 4x4, with studded Firestone Winterforce, 265/70-17 size. Right now using Cooper AT3 for three season tires, but going to replace them with Michelin LTX MS or AT2 when these fail something before next spring.

Welcome aboard, look for more recent threads or start a new one...

 

I remember Armstrong...didn't they have a rhino for a mascot?

Another good one was the old Buckshot Mudders. They were bias tires. Everyone used to run them on the old 3/4 ton Fords (70s and 80s). My grandpa always ran them on the back of his 2wd truck too.


I am currently running the Yokohama Geolander AT/S. They have been a great tire on and off the road. I am about due for a new set of tires too. I want to go a little more aggressive for off-roading.
