Title: Semi-Offroad tires
Post by: jandh on April 16, 2009, 08:30:01 PM
I was looking at some tires to do some trail runs and dayly driving,  What do you guys think about the BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A  KO?
Im looking at using them in the 235 75 15 size

Are they worth getting?

personally i would get BFG's MT KM1's. the origional BFG MT. they handle just as good on the street and snow then the AT's. I have driven both. And they will last longer than the AT's.

only thing is you may skid 10 or so feet past the AT on ice if you slam on the breaks, otherwise the MT is better. You'll be happier.

I'm on my 6th set of BFG KO's, had them in 30", 31", 32", 285/75R16, 35" and now 275/85R20's

Like I said in a previous post, I'm either real impressd or a real slow learner.

I'm a slow learner too but do like the tires. :o

I did not, however, like the $1,600 price tag for the 20's, and that was only 4 tires. :'(

If you've got your better half using it as a daily driver, the the A/T KO's would be a good choice. M/T's are a bit much for most folks that don't off-road.

if u are driving a lot the mickey Thompson ATZ plus tires are good. i have ATZ plus on my grand, they are on par with the BFGs. i've run BFG ATs for years as well. the Mickey Ts are just as good for cheaper (at least when i bought them)

$750 for four = BFG

That's not too bad at all!

$750 for four = BFG

Great deal if that's mounted, balanced & installed/complete.  The deal I just inked for the Duratracs(LT265/75/16) is for 5 mounted, balanced, nitrogen, down the road for $1100 taxes in.  The best price I was quoted for the BFG AT/KOs was $252 /tire +++.

Get me a set of 285/75R20 for that price and I'll take 6 sets.

i think he was quoting these:
235 75 15 size

FYI, Costco has the best pricing on BFG AT's

The only problem I have with Costco tires is the fact that they will not warranty them or do the road hazard stuff if they are used for offroading, plus they refused to install 32" or 33" KM2's on my Jeep since I have spacers and the tires would not be stock size.  You should also check the date of manufacture on the back of the tire.

He said if there used for offroading that they only cover it once - I didn't pay much attention to the rules and stuff - that day was very heck-tic

I found that Dale (ESI) had the best price for BFG tires that I could find. WAY better than anything locally here in BC ;D

I just did a quote,
235/75r15 bfg ta at  at can tire,  $820.13  with install, GST and the tire certificate.  With the tire cert we will replace the tire at no charge if we can't fix it. for 5 years or until you almost reach the wear bars  3/32.
We don't do nitrogen aht this store but some do.

free rotations and flat repairs
