getting new tires ...........again!!

any of you guys try the bf goodrich all terrain. i had a set of them on my 2000 tacoma. i loved them. I will deff get a set for my 2007 sooner then later. i just cant convince the wife that i need new tires when i only have a few thousand miles on the truck. It currently has bf goodrich rugged trails. which kind of sucks offroad. I dont think that i will ever have another all terrain tire besides the bf's.

 

the all terrain k/o tires are awesome tires. the rugged trails,however,suck for everything,imo!! mine were worn out at 23k miles........and that was all higyway driving. and they hydroplaned like no other!!! glad i got rid of those dogs!!!

 

yeah i hear that. i want to get rid of them. maybe after xmass i can get another set of the all terrains. i will try and attach a pic of the 2000 tacoma with them on. they saved me a few times.

 

those pics look like pure fun!!!

 

here is a video link to that same weekend. I dont think that the tires spun at all. I was a little worried at first about going through that pit. one of the other trucks got stuck real bad in that same mud hole.

fun,fun..........and that was a hella long mud pit too!!!

 

what do you wnat ? good looking to you, or what performs best in all conditions? I recomend yoko geolanders for the A/P tire. I love them for the rain and the snow.

 

The yoko's are nice, but they cost quite a bit more than the Destinations, and they don't do as well in the rain. I have Geolander's on the wife's RAV4, and they are really nice, but they hydroplane pretty badly (we took it through 2 major storms going to and coming back from North Carolina last week).

Two of my co-workers have them on their trucks, and I have had several sets of the Destinations. They are mildly agressive looking, but are excellent all-season/all-condition tires.

The wifey says she doesn't care, so I am going to try for the white letters out since they look so good on Delrivpilot's truck. I will post pictures once I get them on. Hopefully, the parts for my tonneau cover come in today as well. I have only been waiting 5 weeks.

 

Now you tell us ! I just put a set on my rig for winter tires, DOH !

 

im praying as we speak that they hold up good for you. you may be ok since they are new, but after 10k miles, if they are made like mine were, forget it!! i do wish the best for you with those tires though!!

 

I have also been looking at the BF's A/T. They are sick looking tires. I can't decide what size I want for my 2000 prerunner. I am thinking about getting a 3in. lift and that way I can fit 33's, but I would like to stick with the stock rims to lower some cost. Any thoughts?

for me its not even a choice really. its the BF's AT all the way. my 2000 had about 40,000 on the tires and there were just a little more then half tread. with plenty of bite left. they had almost no hum to them going down the thurways. great in rainy and snowing weather. They were great off roading too. I am kind of hoping that my stock BF rugged trail are snotty in the snow, that way i can justify getting a set of BF AT's. if anyone wants to buy the rugged trails, let me know. i have just over 5,000 on them.
