Local shop steering me away from BFG AT

I use them on my company provided and paid for farm truck. They are good. They are 265/70/17. I put about 20k a year on them. I drive quite a bit on gravel roads and rough dirt fields and they've been great. They aren't loud going down the road. What else do you want to know?

 

The Nokian Rotivva are a superior all around tire compared to the BFG AT KO or KO2. I've driven on the KO/AT, and the Rotivva AT and here are my assessments. The Rotivva is a lighter tire, and thus automatically equates to better gas mileage. On highways, and city roads, the Rotivva is quieter. On road handling, the Rotivva is better. Off-road I have not noticed much of a difference. Although I spent more time off-road with the Rotivva AT in both summer and winter conditions. The Rotivva had a tendency to get chipped from rolling over big sharp rocks, where as I think the KO was less likely to do that. I think that Nokian addressed the issue of durability with the newer Rotivva AT plus. When it comes to stopping or going in the wintertime, there is no comparison; the Rotivva is far superior. I currently have BFG KO's on our FJ cruiser, because they came with the FJ when I traded in for it. The Jeep I traded in for the FJ had the Rotivva's I bought on it. I honestly believe the dealership got a better deal then I did on that particular portion of the trade-in, however I got the superior vehicle out of the deal. I would suggest that any of you look at the Nokian tires, I feel they produces the best all around AT out there. When these BFG AT/KO's are warn out, I will be replacing them with Rotivva AT Plus.
