Title: AT tire review?
Post by: TheCaptain on January 09, 2009, 12:23:09 PM: How many of you guys run Goodyear TA KO's?

I've got a $400 gift card to CT burnign a hole in my pocket, and looking to put it towards a set of new tires. Any opinions on these? I'm looking to get 31's, and hoping they go on sale at some point ::)

For an AT they did well in the mud.....for an AT. My only complaint is offroad they have a bead protector that was a magnet for sticks and rocks and I often have leaks as a result. They wear very well on a Jeep.

Roughly the same price...

rough rider M&S no where near the same tire as the bfg.
the rough rider is a good tire for the right application. But you will not be happy with it for your jeep

i've also run the BFGs on a few vehicles, and used to run em on the WJ. only reason i iwent with the ATZs was price. they were a lot cheaper than the BFGs

Post by: JackstandJohnny on January 16, 2009, 02:44:28 PM: got them from Bryan at Modern Motors. he took the time to help me find something in my price range (cause the BFGs were too much)
all the sales guys at modern are pretty good. have always treated me good at least

Post by: esi on March 04, 2009, 11:20:16 PM: General Grabber AT2's have the same tread pattern as the BFs and I've found that they don't chuck as bad a the bf's when driven on alot of gravel, which tends to make them last longer, and they're cheaper too.
