A/T vs M/T

X3 on the firestones, I have 2 sets, ATs and MTs that go on when i'm off road.

When I got my truck it had BFG ATs on it, and they sucked, they were noisy and I didn't think they were that good off road either. I ended up dumping them early with about 1/4" tread and getting the Firestone ATs, much better ride.

So i sometimes wonder if all these high opinions of BFGs are just from a mob sheep that have never tried anything else.

 

Had Firestone Destination A/T's on my 03 Tundra...much quieter than my current bfg's on this tacoma....and have to say that I thought they provided just as good grip...not to mention i had 45k on the tires when I sold the truck and they still had ~15-20k left in them. BFGoodrich is a great example of great advertisment, IMHO

 

you have 33k on your km2s? i hear that most people only get about 25k out of theres. i know it all depends on how you drive but thats great you have that many miles. how does the tread hardness of km2 compare to the A/t?

 

ya mine have 33k on them and are about 50%! its lookin like they will probly hit 45-50 thousand!
but i drive mostly on dirt roads cuz thats where im comfortable
ive ran bfgs on every truck ive had and ive always had real good luck with them. not a big fan of the a/ts but have a couple friends that really like them.
never seen or heard about the firestones. my view on tires is get what you know is good and that will vary between people.

 

thats good thats what most get out of ATs. how many of those miles do u think are on the pavement?

 

i have the Firestone MT's for about 4 years now and they are awesome. besides one tire that had a little chunk come out of one tread they have help up for 40k - 50K miles but it is time for new ones. i use to do a lot of hard mud riding on the farm and i have made it everywhere and back with them, and easily followed my buddy with his z71 w/ 35 toyo MT's. i was considering switching to A/T's since i dont do as much mudding anymore but now i may have to stick with the M/T's

 

coming up a slight section of a hill and turning on to another street today on wet pavement and my MT's....could barely get any traction....even when i finally got on to the main street it was till a bit of an incline and still slipping a wheel

AT's for me next time

 

what tire? have them siped? how much tread left?

 

kuhmo MT's...no i'm looking into but it's like $130+ to get it done

quite a bit

 

Hmmm....
