Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Passed on buying Goodyear today

Faulken wild peaks AT3’s are on my truck now and have performed excellent in the last 2 snow storms with 15 + inches of snow.

Not understanding the hate for BFG’s. Best tire I ever owned. Quiet, fantastic traction on my F-150. Got 70K miles out of my first set. On my second set now.

it also makes a difference on load range etc. I run LT series KO2's on my half ton. YES the ride is harsher, my are D rated, but e rated would be stiffer. but I have to have LT series tires for them to survive in the high desert. The p metrics that come on the f150's are much softer. its just a different spec. don't blame the tire.

back in the late 80's and 90's when radial tires weren't built as well, michelins were about the only brand that wouldn't develop defects and tread separations. now days lots of great tires out there. I personally have had terrible luck with every goodyear tire I have owned. maybe its just me, I dunno but they have all sucked for me. YMMV

I've run BFG ATs or MTs on every 4 wheel drive I've owned over the past 43 years and been more than pleased with the performance. Tried a set of Goodyear offroad MTs on a Jeep for offloading and they didn't hold up well at all. The rubber compound was way too soft and the rocks would peel off the rubber.

I run Jeeps, so no heavy loads.
Drive aggressive though.

BFG last 30k tops.

MTR got 40k.

Proly shoulda tossed either 5k sooner.

MTR harsher ride and harder compound IMHO.
Wet pavement they suck.
Snow or mud, and offroad....kicked azz

Dunno what to get if we buy a camper to tow.

Been rolling in Coopers for over 20 years, bought my LAST set about 4 months ago. Never more.

I was well satisfied with General Grabber AT2 for all around service. Most driving was on wet and dry roads, some in snow / ice and occasional off road. Surprisingly quiet too for all terrain tread tires. Gas mileage dropped a couple mpg vs OEM all season tires but was well worth it. Warrantied for 50k miles and got about 45k out of them. Sharp looking tires,too.

I will NEVER buy Goodyear "woke" tires!!!!!!!

Here in Florida, we've had excellent results from our BFG tires. My KO2's have been excellent. I drive primarily between Florida, Alabama and Georgia. Perhaps our weather is better suited for them since we do not have a lot of snow.

Did I mention that I will NEVER buy Goodyear??????????????

Goodyear may not absorb Cooper like they have other brands they have bought out. Time will tell. Cooper has made some good tires...

Cooper STT Pro. Only damn tire to run.

Darn near every Cooper tire on the recall list now for sidewall failure. Too bad quality went down. I liked my At3's.

The TerrainContact™ H/T tires are the best I've ever had.

Continental

Bridgestone Dueller AT Revo’s

They’ve been on every SUV/Truck I’ve owned since 1997.
Aggressive, yet quiet tread.
I always get between 40-45K miles per set, and could go longer as they were not warn out, just less aggressive.

Yeah it is!

Coopers were the only tires I grew to trust for our sharp rocks out here...shale, obsidian, volcanic, tufa...

Since I'm old enough that my tires might outlive me, it's less of a concern.

Yokohama Geolandar X-AT Tires 10 Ply.Toughest pick up truck tire made.They laugh at shale roads.

I have the pathfinder AT from discount tire. Best tire I’ve ever had. I’d bet I’ve had a dozen sets of BFG’s. They were good at one time but have been junk for the last 2 sets. So, no more for me.
BFG’s are good in sand. OK in snow, junk in mud and rain.

Goodyear doesn't make a decent truck tire suitable for decent traction in snow and mud.

Much happier with my Yokohama tires.

I've taken a liking to Hankook tires. We've been running them on our govt vehicles and they've done well in rain, snow, patchy ice and heavy slush. Not great on completely iced over conditions, but they manage with good driving skills.


Although subject to change, this will give you an idea of who's sitting in an enemy camp.

Tire Companies and Subsidiaries

Just hit 75k on my load range E BFG All-Terrain KO2s. I won't have to replace them until the fall of this coming year...will likely see 90k on this set.

I do a lot of off roading for not only hurting but for recreation....best all terrain tire on the market imho and i live in area with massive snow fall.

fuuck the woke nonsense
