Bfg's run small typically fyi, I think their 315s end up being closer to 33" than 35" and that runs true through all their sizes. Food for thought before you go sizing up in the future

 

Also part of why they run lighter than other brands' comparable tires

 

Yup, other manufacturers do the same as well. Looking at Interco sizes will make your head spin

 

Run big.....run small.....either way....BFG is like a lianz kosak......they will betray you. F*** BFG and their cheap ass rubber. That is all.

Edit: No, I am not bitter or anything lol

 

Someone actually brought the VHS in and a few of us watched it in the biology lab with a teacher who was pretty cool in high school. I'm sure that would never fly nowadays though.

My work used to make us bring our laptop home before crappy weather and always on winter weekends. You were also required to bring it home once every 4 weeks and log into it from home to keep stuff active; you did have the option to WFH that day, but not needed.

That said we weren't buying Zoom and such either..nor trusting kids to bring everything needed as well as the device, have good connection, etc

 

Good to hear.
Still trying to find a RELIABLE tire shop to check the 5 wheels/tires on my SD. Wicked vibration 45-50. Started w/ new rubber... and... well..

But, yeah, stickers came for the 2 bikes I renewed this year.
Still need rubber for one(I'll get around to it)...
And the bagger, ready to roll... just need to dial in the suspension.
Dropped 1of the MTBs off for tune up, ill drop the other off, when I pick this one up.

 

My buddy would probably be able to if he can find some time

 

I'm in.
It's a super duty, so, big centers, that is the other thing I run across, my buddies balancer can't take the rims.
I'm positive I have a hop. In fact, the tire shop that shall rename un-named.
Then he said "it'll wear down"...
Okay, did they do all 5?
"Yes"
Which one was worse?
"I don't know"

Either way, pretty sure I have at least 1 tire 9ht of round, and need to warranty it... BUT, I cannot until I can get some honest help.
Never buying a wheel/tire package online again. Or even tires.
Way too much BS and headache.

 

I'll text him and see if he has some time. He's in westfield

 

He did my 35s and my 33s before these, both sets ride smooth as butter @Chasespeed

 

Good to know about KO2s. They show up on marketplace all the time, I'm looking to put some E loads on this year (not picky about AT or MT, just want to get something near stock size and E). I've heard mixed reviews (shockingly) but I didn't know about the sizing.

Which is annoying, because the sizes are in mm, not some bullshit like womens pants sizes.

When I got tires on my mazda it started shaking at about 65. Not a common speed or anything found out when I got on the highway to head up to Portland - 3 hours each way. Had to go either 60 or 80 to not shake. Fortunately didn't get popped for speeding. Brought it back to the shop, they had maxed out the weights to put on it. They put it back on their machine, and it turns out no weights was the key..... again....

as said above I'll be in the tire camp soon, unless I jump on another set of stock takeoffs but I'd rather have E for NMW/other trips this year. Gotten 3 flats from the shale up there. But, to be fair, at least 2 of those were close to bald so didn't have much meat on the bones

 

That NMW shale is some nasty stuff.

 

woof

mine were all treads, no sidewalls. "fortunately". One plugged easy, one took some convincing to plug, and one was hilariously never going to be plugged with the size of the hole.

 

I actually didnt notice this ( its on the inside wall) cause it didnt leak until I got home after the 7 hr highway drive... Glad it didnt let go up there or on the highway, I only had the original 2011 spare

 

Yes it is. Thankfully there isn't a ton on the roads by my cabin in Eustis

 

A friend of mine teaches third grade in a public school. She has a kid who has been banned from taking his computer home with him. His older brother showed him how to get around the restrictions so that he could go to porn sites. An eight year old kid.

A couple of weeks later my friend caught the kid IN CLASS watching porn on his computer.

The mother didn't seem upset about it, but the father was furious at the two boys.

For whatever it's worth, General Grabber AT2s were the best A/T tires I ever ran. I'd strongly consider the newer ATx. They're a similar design to the BFG KO2s. Only reason I don't run them now is I have dedicated Nokian snow tires and don't need something that aggressive in the summer.

 

all good to know feedback on the KO2s. I have had them on my truck for a while now and will say I wish they were better in the snow.

with the tread pattern very similar to the KO2, wondering how ATx compare in the snow? (talking on road) better rubber compound?

Any thoughts on overall reasons why ATx out performs would be appreciated too.

thanks!

 

I would say the ATx has more siping, but general tires are usually on the heavier side. I wouldn't recommend running load range E though, they were a bit too stiff even for my tundra. Load range C or D would be good for a Tacoma. The ATx are also mountain peak rated for snow
