I need Aldeer to break a tie for me. I'm getting a set of one of these tires. Which one would you buy and why?

1. BFG All Terrain T/A KO2

2. Goodyear Wrangler All Terrain Adventure with Kevlar

Warranty is about the same. Price is the same after Goodyear rebate.

Toyo AT2


But between those 2 the BFG

Real happy with the KO2s on my Hummer

Paging Gomer lol

BFG

BFG over Goodyear every day of the week ...

BFG

Bfg most tire guys I know say goodyear suck...i had ko2 before n they were ok

What are they going on?

Toyo

Hint: much better traction in all conditions. Got 50k miles on last two sets of AT2s

Bfg

They're going on an f150. If go Toyo I will have to go up to a 285, which I may like better actually... Now yall got me all messed up. lol

I bought it with the goodyears on it and with 60k miles the tread is fair. They have always when a little slick in the rain though.

I've had both. BFG.

Nitto Ridge Grappler.

Been running mine for 50k miles now and still rides good!

I have been running BFG's for years. Last set was the KO2. They had terrible wet traction, and are not as good as the older BFG. I swapped to Wrangler. Much better traction but they ride rough, and will not balance properly. I will be looking for something else next time.

I wouldn't put either on my truck. I ran BFG for several sets, they were a good tire for a long time, but seem to have fallen off. Also, there are so many newer tires that are better now.

The last set of BFGs I had wore out quickly and had no traction on wet ground.

Falken Wildpeak A/T3W

good luck finding those!

...and when I say terrible wet traction. It was really bad. Several times I had to use 4 wheel drive to get started at stop signs on a hill on pavement. I loved the old BFG, they are not the same tire.

That was my gripe w' Wranglers. Been w' Michelin ever since

close thread

I got a set of the extreme AT2's on a 2500 and should easily get 50k out of them. I would think 60k would be easy on the lighter F150. Have like them. My last set was BFG and they dry rotted at 30k miles. I was the third person that I know it happened to. Ive said it here before and wont be buying anymore BFG unless I have to.

I've been extremely happy with my Toyo RT's on my F250.

Nitto terra grappler G2. But I will say this truck came with a set of Goodyear’s ATs. I put 65,000 on them and would say they probably had 10 more left when I replaced them. I’ve never been a fan of Goodyear tires but I believe they have improved over time.

Manager at Mavis Tires who I've dealt with for the past 5 years told me Goodyear Wranglers are hard to balance and don't ride well, as stated by others. BFG I've run on two separate vehicles, had great performance, but they WORE OUT quickly even after proper maintenance. Mavis manager recommends Nitto's for my next set when ready. I've also been told the Dunlap Dynapro is a good all terrain tire. Thanks

Correction....Hankook Dynapro.

of course shop owners/managers recommend Nitto's........they're like $1500+ for a set of average size 1/2 ton truck tires...

Nothing with China on it.

I have those wranglers on my k5. They are very good in the mud but loud on the pavement. They have been on there for 6 or 7 years i guess and still look new with deep tread but I don’t drive many miles

I got 80000 miles out of my last set of Goodyear a/ts. I think the Kevlars not necessary. If you’ll notice some of the tires have a tread life warranty and some don’t. I’m pretty sure that’s the difference between the American made and the Mexican made. I did rotate them every other oil change as well.

I don't know what size you priced but you can get 4 285/70r17 nitto trail graperss for about half that. I just had to replace one that got cut and blew out and I paid 187 plus tax from walmart.com. $15 bucks for mounting and balance. With that said, I had one get a knot or bubble in it a few months ago and had to replace it too. I bought this truck used with the tires on it so I don't know how old they are but I have had it 3 years and they were about worn out anyway.

I just replaced some wrangler all terrains that were the original stock tires on my wife's truck with over 80,000 miles on them.

I have had bfg on work trucks and personal trucks for 10 years. Mud grip and all terrain. Something has changed with the last 2 sets. The first time it happened I thought I just got a bad set. But everyone has said their quality has dropped. They cup and wear out quicker than ever. Something happened. I just don’t know what.

When I bought my Falkens, they were $890ish out the door. Same size Nittos and Toyos were $1400-1500. And everyone in town was pretty equally priced

My current bfg’s have a little under 75k miles and i plan to get another 8-10k out of them. I’ve never had the wet pavement trouble but maybe i have an older set. I bought them like 2.5 years ago

Bee Eff Gee.

Those higher prices are for LT rated tires, not P rated tires.

I still don’t believe anyone can get out 80,000 miles out of a set of mud or all terrain tires and still have usable tread for mud or all terrain usage.

LT were only a few dollars more.

Another Toyo vote here. I've gotten 70,000 out of my last 2 sets and just put another set on. I never got anywhere near that out of BFGs

Fierce attitude MT is where its at.

can’t...more like driving on them until the tire man says it’s time. I’m a little over 60k on bfg on a sequoia and it is a lil slippery, at times. I definitely won’t point it where I would on new treads! due a set before season starts.

Well of course not, but they're still safely driveable tires. I don't think anybody here is claiming that they maintain their offroad performance over 70 or 80 thousand miles.

never had the Goodyear's you speak of. after I had terrible luck with some Wrangler tds I just quit on them. had many sets of the bfg's. always 10 ply. after 40000 they seem to start hydroplaning for me. so, I went with some wildpeaks cause a buddy of mine has some with 70k and they still actually have ok tread. however, they don't drive or corner near as good as the bfg's. but I got them for $650 out the door so I'm not complaining.

I have also had a few sets of the michilan ltx in 10 ply. if you aren't going to really be mudding they are great tires and are great in snow. have them on our grocery getter Yukon XL and they totally changed the way it drives.

I can't..

Prices vary a lot by size. 285 55/R20 ridge grappler was $338 when I looked yesterday on several sites.

Nope, I went with P rated, not LT, because I don't tow anything heavier than a 4 wheeler. Size is 275/60/20.

Also, that walmart price is not their "out the door" price....it doesn't include mounting/balancing or disposing of the old tires or tax.

glad I still have 16 inch rims. save $ on tires and performance reasons. can get load E tires for cheaper than you guys buying car tires on 18 and 20 inch rims. plus I don't have to cry about my rims when my wife hits a curb.

The difference is tire price when you jump up to 20 inch rims is crazy.

I was getting wife's tires balanced Monday n 2 were warped...dont understand how that happens on a 3 yr old vehicle

Yes.

I changed the rims on my truck from 20s to 18s and in two tire changes, I will end up paying less money even factoring in the cost of the rims.

Does any tire ad include all that? I am sure we all know you pay tax and they charged me 15.26 per tire total to mount, balance, and haul off the old tire. My whole point after your first post was to clear up that nitto tires in general don't cost any more than most other truck tires. I don't doubt you were quoted the prices you posted I just wanted to correct the broad statement you made because I bought 2 tires of that brand in the last few weeks. Hell, I don't even recommend nittos or walmart, I just went back with what I had because I only needed 1 tire at the time and walmart is 10 minutes away.

Yes, but your point is wrong. The Falkens that I used as an example were $893 out the door, so that included mounting/balancing/disposal and tax. The Toyo's and Nitto's were going to be $1400/$1500, out the door. In other words, comparing apples to apples, the Toyo's/Nitto's in the same size were going to be at least 55% more. Also, you were comparing tires for a 17" rim to tires for a 20" rim, which as pointed out above, makes a huge difference.
So, to say "Nitto tires in general don't cost any more than most other truck tires" is just incorrect.

Here's your original post. It says nothing about 20 inch rims or out the door prices. I drive an average 1/2 ton pickup. Mine were 220 and change out the door. 880 is a long way from 1500 plus. You were incorrect. Carry on.

you clearly didn't read the follow-up post where I answered your question where you asked what size tires I was looking at, but I personally paid $893 out the door for a set of Falkens - 275/60/20......I still have the invoice in my glove box. The same shop quoted me $1400-1500 out the door for the Toyos/Nittos that I originally planned on purchasing, and other shops in town were within $100 of the same price on the same tires.

I don't doubt that you paid $880 for your tires if they were for a 17" rim - my last truck had 17" rims and I remember tires being considerably cheaper - but I suspect the Falkens in YOUR tire size would've probably been even cheaper...but who knows.... Either way, 16-17" rims are becoming less and less common, as more and more manufacturers are going to 18-20" rims. You trying to compare what you paid for 17" rim tires to what I paid and was quoted for 20" rim tires as some sort of evidence that the tires aren't nearly as expensive as I said they were is an invalid argument. If you can't see why that argument doesn't hold water, then nothing I say is going to make you understand.

Either way, I'm not going to continue hijacking the OP's thread to argue with someone on the internet over something so stupid and irrelevant.

Just put a set of KO2's on my f-150 a month or two ago and I love them so far.

I read it. Just read it again. There are no tire sizes listed.

I will never put All Terrain tires on my four wheel drive truck again. I wish that I had brought the Nitto Ridge Grapplers like I wanted to in lieu of the Michelin AT’s.

I click on these "best tire" post, just to watch/read the same two people bring up the same crap EVERY SINGLE TIME! It's amazing. Before I click on it, I know who the two are going to be.
