time for tires

I had the bfg all terrains before my grabbers and didnt like them they wore crazy fast going up and down the mountain and didn't do aswell as I thought they would in the snow

 

had BFG AT's before the grabbers. they're a much better all around tire for a DD truck. i'm prolly going to get them again once my grabbers are dead

the grabbers would be great for a strict off road/desert truck that doesn't see DD duty and paved roads...

 

What is fast? My dad has had those tires for a while and they last 70k +

interesting

 

I'm just busting your balls I wanted the grabbers but definatly wouldent pay full price for them i got my set of 5 from a dude that works for monster from Vegas for $500 and they had like 90% tread I have a extra set of 5 aswell sitting in my garage for when these wear down

 

BFG's pit fall is their lack of performance on wet stuff... they kinda suck there.

i will give the grabbers credit for not wearing fast at all, and my alignment is muffed up to hell and i'm not getting any abnormal tread wear...

how do the grabbers do in snow?

 

im on BFG a/t's now, maybe 45k miles on them with 3/16-1/4 tread left

they have always been slippery , especially in the rain on any truck I had

 

Yeah I was really suprised aswell cause I have heard nothing but good things about them I dont know if its cause I have to drive the mountain roads daily or what but I was dissapointed in them.

 

They did well in the snow but I heard nothing but negative stuff about the generals in snow so i wasent expecting much but they definatly suprised me, they did better then my bfg but given the bfg were getting low on tread when I got to compare them in the same winter

 

Duratracs.

BTW, if you join Tread Lightly for $25, you get a $100 Goodyear rebate.

 

I just picked up some Mickey Thompson Baja STZ's. So far minimal road noise, and they ride nice. They look more agressive then they ride. On sale at Tire Buyer, $600 delivered, plus a $50 rebate card.

 

I'm running Bridgestone Revo 2's At's and they are the best tire I've ever owned. Pricey at $172/tire, but they've given me good road manners and great grip and I wearing very well.

 

X 2. I'm surprised it took 35 posts for someone to mention them. I've run 3 sets of Revo's and now a set of Revo II's and they're by far the best tire I have ever run. Compared to BFG AT's, they ride similar but quieter. They wear about equal with BFG's. I took off my last set of Revos with 70,000 miles on them and sold them for $150. Revos have excellent road manners especially in wet conditions and decent offroad, again comparable to BFG. I found Revos are $35-$50. cheaper than BFG.

 

I think I'm going to go with these

Cooper AT3

I can get them for about $140 each

anyone have any experiences with these? or cooper?

thats kind of a cool looking bumper

 

the nitto trail grappler m/t is a great tire

the goodyear duratrac is one of the best light truck tires ever invented

as far as personal experience goes i would say both are better than the bfg's however dissimilar they are.

a tire i want to try though is the copper stt m/t very similar to the mickey thompson and from what i hear they do great just about anywhere. they are very popular in australia so i would imagine they don't dig you down in the sand like you would expect from a m/t tire.

 

just got the falken all terrains yesterday 265/75/16 from discount tire for 120 a piece $650 out the door. So far pretty good love how aggressive they look... 3 diff discount tires told me to get them and that they are reallly good.

I think these are the same tires my buddy just got for his ranger for being an at they so well in the mud

 

yeah the guy was like they are excellent on road and off. they have a 50k miles rating and he said if im not happy i can bring them back within a month for full refund or exchange. Pretty cool but i like them, very smooth ride for some mean looking ATs
