BF Goodrich are horrible. Anything but them. Cooper, Toyo, or Nitto.

The smaller 20 that they offer in the Falken MT is a 305/55R20 and you will easily be over $300 per tire. You should be able to get the Toyo MT or Nitto MT in a 275/65R20 for around the same price. Now if you go with 275/60R20 you can get the Nitto Ridge Grappler or the Toyo RT for a good bit cheaper.

Upon further review I should actually have another several months left in them (hell maybe another year) considering I’m only going into the office every other week now. I just measured and I have 1/4” tread left. The tread depth, new, was 13/32 (these are the SL load range, not LT). So they still have about 60% of their tread depth remaining.

Current mileage on them is 37,250, so 50-55,000 should be pretty doable and still have enough tread on them to sell on FB Marketplace for A little extra cash.

I just put Federal Xplora MT on my F150. So far so good, but it's still too early to tell how long they'll last.

I’m currently in the market for a set myself and would like to go with more of a mud tire. I’m not worried about mileage much since I checked the odometer on my truck just yesterday and in the last 6 months, I’ve driven it about 230 miles total.

Toyos may be high but they last a lot longer than the cheaper tires so it kind of equals out


Two roads diverged in the woods and I took the one with deep ruts,hills and mud.It may be bumpy but WHAT A RIDE!

This. I get a new set of grips every other October. I've had dura trac, toyo mt and 2 sets of mastercraft mtx .I won't but the dura tracs again. I got more milage out of the toyo's but I felt like the mastercrafts where the most bang for the buck . One other thing, I make a lot of trips to the landfill dumping construction debris, I had to plug the toyo's a couple times but I have yet to plug a mastercraft. Load range E's FWIW.

That 230 miles in 6 months is my personal truck. My company truck is a different story. I drive between 3,500-4,000 miles a month.

Oh ok. Well that’s different. In have a company truck I get to use as my own. I claim mileage at years end. Personal vs business. It’s still nice to do. And I still drive 52-55k per year in it.

Precovid I averaged about 40,000 miles a year. I only did about 20,000 last year. I’ve tried a lot of different tires over the years. Nitto and Toyo have lasted the longest.

Fierce Attitude MT tires. That's what ill be putting on my truck once the factories wear out. I had them on a 07 F150 for 65,000 miles and still had good tread left. I've also been on the fence about the new Toyo AT3's they are a sharp looking tire.

Nitto ridge grapplers 100% i had them on my 2017 silverado 1500 when i traded it in. Had 40k miles on them and still had a ton of tread left. Will be putting them on my new truck once i get around to putting on the leveling kit. by far the best tire ive ever had.

[quote=3toe]. Better to grip into a wet, mud road than put a vehicle against a tree because you can't get good traction. I am all for using a SXS or 4-wheeler, but sometimes you have to go down a mud/gumbo road to get to a camp or when working at the camp. I won't argue that they are not the end-all be-all, they are not the best on ice nor in sand, but in more instances they are the best for me.

[quote=GomerPyle][quote=olemossy]20" tires are expensive.
. Tires are all expensive, but man, those 20" tires, you have to pay to play. You wanted those huge things, no you have to pay the piper. I like my 16's.

I have run BFG mud terrain tires on my 98 Z71 since 1997, yep do the math on that! I have close to 500,000 miles on it, and the worst set got 75,000 (I tried a size larger than recommended for the truck (tried a 65 rather than 75), most sets get well over 80,000 miles per set. I have them rotated and balanced every 5,000 when I get an oil change, and I rotate between 35 psi and 50 psi. (I run 35 for 5,000, then 50 for 5,000, this allows for better wear). I have not been a fan of the last set, because BFG took out a lot of the aggressiveness in the KM2 because of the yuppies and other pumpkin spice latte drinking skinny jean wearing pansies worried about road noise. BFG has now brought out a new tire that is a little more aggressive, the KM3, I will try that next. I run mud grips year round, I never know when I will need to go down a gumbo road, so I will put up with some noise. All-terrains will turn to slicks after 1 revolution in the gumbo/clay stuff we have in the central/lower part of the state.

I think coopers are made in the USA, which is a good reason to use them. I do believe there are some other manufacturers that have some lines that are made in the USA too.

I have had no issue with coopers in the past (both car and truck tires) and will continue to use them until something changes.
