BFGoodrich A/T KO vs Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor

rpoint16 · 05-02-2009, 11:41 AM

On my buddys 01 Taco, he is at 99K on his BFG kKO's! IMO they are past replacing, but for street/hwy only, they are fine. Probably 3/16-1/4" tread left. No cracking, chunking, etc...

In addition, we just did the Crown King trail a month or so ago, soupy rocks, big hills, full locker needed, & he did fine.

I wouldn't put Goodyear's on a bicycle. I've never had any good luck with Goodyear.

My $.02

Rangerpeterson · 05-04-2009, 10:09 PM

Thats a great price! Where did you get the deal?

mws4ua · 05-25-2009, 05:13 AM

Have you considered the General Grabber AT2? They're $117/ea on TireRack, and I've found that local tire places generally match that price. General Tire also offers a $50 gift card w/ the purchase of 4 every couple of months. I thought it was going on now, but it must have just ended.

They're about as highly rated as any tire I've seen on TireRack, and they have a 50k mile tread life warranty.

americas tire has the bfg at ko's on sale starting today, the guy quoted me $1070 mounted,rotated,lifetime warranty ( you save like $100 and some change) but from what others are saying seems like you can find them cheaper..

where did you get yours Panda?

RZL · 06-15-2009, 10:50 PM

This is kinda out there but I took them through mud with 5 guys in the Expedition and they're VERY good on the street but go check out the Yokohama Geolandar H/T-S. 8-9/10 overall.

I used to have a set of revos on my old cherokee. They might be a good choice if you don't have to deal with ice and snow. As far as basic A/Ts go, I'd choose a toyo open country A/T over a revo based on my experience with both.

RDAY · 07-04-2009, 07:28 AM

im confused i guess why everyone says the bfg doesnt the firestone dest. have alot better ratings? i just dont care for what the dest. look like. What is gonna be the best a/t for snow?

There are a lot of folks here that run the Firestone Destinations w/ excellent reviews.
The biggest criteria challenges I find is when a general question is ask about what is the best a/t for snow is
1.where do they live,
2.what type of snow, a few flurries, more slush/ice or heavy, large accumalations?
3.what type of driving as in all highway, a mixed bag, class IV types etc.

I purchased my Silent Armors because they were an A/T tire snow-rated (had the little symbol). I can tell you from driving in Vermont, these tires performed "ok", mainly because we tow a lot & see a lot of mixed conditions, heavy wet snow/black ice/slush/regular ol' puffy light fluff in large amounts. This year we changed to a dedicated studded snow tire. The SA's are now only used on the summer rims. I did look at tires on the tacomas around here in Winter time and the majority were Firestone, Cooper, Nokians and Bridgestone Revos.

I know a member here who said his Silent Armors were great in snow, but was in NJ fwiw.
Also David T. is in the biz so to me a subject matter expert. Maybe he will give you his experience too.

RDAY · 07-04-2009, 08:39 AM

i live in northern ny right on the canadian border. so we get some pretty extreme winter conditions. i also offroad about once a month.

MUDFISH · 08-10-2009, 03:48 PM

I had the BFG's on my GMC Sonoma Zr2, and I plan on getting a set for the Taco soon... I'm in central NY, and we get a ton of snow, and I've also used them off road, and they handle everything... plus they are great on the road...
