BFGs have their place but they aren't $200 better than the Nittos I've been driving on for the last 45k miles and I'll be buying my 2nd set by fall. BFGs still rock but still so-so on pavement and since my truck is daily driver I demanded more from an A/T tire.

I'm curious about how the BFG T/A stack up against the Michelin LTX A/T2 (which is what I have on my 4Runner).

I saw comparison earlier against LTX M/S, but those seem to be more of a road tire than the LTX A/T2 and much more of a road tire than the BFG AT T/A.

BFG T/A:


Michelin LTX M/S:


Michelin LTX A/T2:

BFGs don't have defined water evac channels which makes them sketchy in wet weather and can't compare them to either of the michelins which wouldn't stack up against the BFGs off road. Kinda comparing apples to oranges.

I can vouch for the wet road performance. The Michelin LTX A/T2 does well, I had the BFG for a while and they sucked imo. Even with my '91 4Runner with the 3.0L they spun all the time going uphill on wet roads.

Now with the 5spd and the 3.4L I don't have that issue at all. They also last a lot longer and stay quite throughout their service life. I found that the BFG AT were getting noisier after about 15K.

The Michelins also did well in the snow around here this winter.

I've had my BFG ATs since December and they did amazing in the snow (we had a big storm this last December) and they've done great in the rain. Had a chance to go wheelin' with them last week and they did awesome on the rocks as well as the mud.
