BFG AT alternatives

[ODB]

Curious if any of you do a 5-tire rotation? I have an extra set of rims for my tundra so it would be easy to add one as an extra spare.

I switched to Goodyear DuraTrac RT. I wanted something that did better in the mud. It's 10 ply, but I would have preferred 8 or 6 to save weight.

Another vote for general grabber atx
I’ve switched back to the bfg’s just because I got a good deal on them

 

[satchamo]

Grabber ATXs for sure. I’m on my second set on 2 trucks. I will say I get them discounted through a relative that works at General but I’ve run them and bfgs and no difference IMO. The ones I run now are actually 8 ply instead of 10 which is a good happy medium between durability but not killing ride and gas mileage

I've had bf tires, nitto tail grapple, hankook dynamo, Cooper st max, toyo r/t, and Goodyear duratrac.
Bf ko2 were by far the worst. Hard tire, doesn't eject mud, slips on dry dirt, grass and damp pavement. And they don't last. Nitto didn't do much better.

Goodyear duratrac were/are hand down the best I've experienced. Aggressive enough to clear mud but soft enough compound to grip pavement. I've had the most miles on them out of any on my 3/4 ton work truck. I put them on my 4runner hunting/weekend rig and they've been great i went with 10 ply for thicker sidewall. A little overkill, but it's rather have too much than not enough on sharp rocky terrain.
They're pretty expensive but you get a lot longer lifespan and better performance

I have toyo r/t on my work truck now and they've been pretty darn good on and off road.

I have the discount tire brand Rocky Mountain AT right now, I know what you’re thinking but these have been amazing, and super cheap. I’ve had them on for 18 months and this is the second hunting season I’ve used them and they have been great. Very quiet and been great for towing my little 15’ camper up wet muddy dirt roads. Traction has been great and the price is unbeatable. I was a little skeptical but these have totally delivered and I will be getting them again. I’ve historically ran Toyo MTs, Firestone Destination MTs and these perform with each and are much quieter, more comfortable, and with better mileage.

I’ve owned Jeep Wranglers since 1994 and have tried other tires here and there and have always been disappointed. I won’t bother with anything other than BFGs anymore.

I've been looking at the Duratrac RT and the Wildpeak AT4W to replace the terribly noisy and crappy tires that came on my truck. I've had several sets of the Falkens in the past and never had an issue with them through hunting seasons and ND winters. Last General Grabbers I had seemed pretty loud also, but that was probably 10 years ago. Other than the noise they were good tires though.

 

[jjohnsonElknewbie]

Running Wildpeak AT4Ws on my wife's lifted Gx460. We're doing 5 tire rotation and so far they've worn very well. They have high rolling resistance so not great for mpg and they're a little loud. Other than these nicks though they've been good tires.

I put a set of used Toyo Open Country RT Trail on my '09 Duramax, and after around 7k miles they've been fantastic. Worn like iron, great traction in wet, ice, snow, and reasonably quiet for a fairly aggressive 35. My daughter and I drove over 4,000 miles on them in May on a trip out west and into BC and Alberta and they were great.

I would second the baja Boss

I dont doubt it. I've had enough name brand tires that were trash, that brands dont mean all that much to me anymore. Last 3 sets have been cheaper offbrands and I'm not complaining

They're loud too. Even on my diesel truck there is a ~2mpg difference with duratrac vs destination x/t

 

[OKHunter84]

I used to manage a oilfield surface rental company. We had a large fleet of trucks that would run anywhere up to 10k miles a month. We tried about every tire you could think of. Between that job and my personal use I still think Mickey Thompson Baja boss AT are the best tire. Ran sets on a couple personal trucks and a Jeep, all lasted over 50k easily.
-Nitto's would wear much faster then Mickey's, usually about 30k and they started looking bad.
-Hankook, we had a lot of blow outs and issues with any kind of decent weight in the bed. Wouldn't recommend. Had a tire puncture in New Mexico with a tiny piece of shrub.
-Coopers seem to last and run pretty well.
-Goodyear wranglers, we ran a lot of these and had decent luck if they were rotated regularly.

After using baja boss at couple years ill never go back to anything else. They are great flying down the interstate highways and been great in snow and mud

How's the weight on those? They're always listed as some of the heaviest out there in their class, but I hear so many good things about them they're hard to ignore.

 

[ndweimer]

Last set of tires were the General Grabber atx. They were great and had every intentions of buying them again. Instead a friend steered me to try Kenda Klever's. So far early impressions are good. Softer rubber than the Grabbers were, so hopefully they add a little more traction in the frozen tundra of North Dakota this winter.

They are heavy, but that’s the cost of three ply sidewalls.

 

[pirogue]

I was glad when the BFG KO3 became available for the size I needed. I’ve had sidewall punctures before, and the extra protection on those tires reduces worry.

 

[Westernduck]

Anyone tried the new. Bridgestone ascent? I see they are replacing the Revos. I have used the Revo 1, 2, and 3 but did not like the 3 and haven’t bought another set. Also have my Pennie’s saved for ties for my tundra.

I put these on my F350 back in February. Only have 25k miles on them, but so far I’m happy.

 

[thegrouse]

I was checking prices. Many of these are the same price as BFGs. The Generals are 80$ cheaper for a set of 4. Not worth the gamble
