Semi-Offroad tires
« 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.

I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

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)
