Wow!
Just got my bfg all terrain t/a k/os put onm this afternoon and man what a differnece over the crappy discount tire pathfinder suv sports it had on before. the car drives straight down the road (never happened with the old tires no matter how many times they were balanced rotated etc etc) the suspension actually works instead of the tire being deflected every which way. and in the snow they eat right through to the pavement and take off no sliding or anything.
i wanted dualer a/t revos but they were on back order for 14 weeks so i got these and im very very impressed and they look awsome to boot.

I love my t/a ko's. Air them up to 60psi and you'll get a tad better gas mileage. Air them down to 15psi and hit the mud. they'll go anywhere. Decent traction on slick snow, great dirt and mud traction, and they look pretty hardcore.

Is the wear on the T/A Ko's about the same as the michelins LTX's (in terms of mileage before replacement)?
I get great mileage out of them but I need more agressive tread for all the snow up here. :pat:

they are "commercial rated" up to 65psi. (BF Goodrich says "these tires are safe up to 65psi" Most people wouldn't need that, only for loads (these are I think C-load rated... i can't read my sidewalls, covered in mud) but anywho, yeah I usually cruise w/ them from 50-60psi. Never had any problems, and i do get better gas mileage.

50-60PSI?! Warm or cold? If it is that high cold, then it gets increased with heat. I have never heard of doing it more than 40, heck, I found mine at 40 and immediately dropped them to 35.

Damn, mine were at 40 once. It was like the tires were the only form of suspension on the truck. Bumpy and rough and harsh and whatever you want to call it. Was at around 33psi immediatly. I value my back.

Everyone i know around here puts on the BFG TA/KOs and gets ~40k per set (Tacos and 4runners; Jeep friends get 30k on TJs and YJs). They're all willing to buy twice as many tires due to how much better the traction is.

I bought 4 BFGs TA K/O yesterday from DISCOUNT along with black rock crawlers.
This one instance, he told me the price for the tires only, everything included and gave me a price of $518 and walk out the door with new tires on.
I'm talking about 31x10.5x15

When I toured the Goodyear Akron headquarters they blew up a wrangler AT with hydrostatic preassure. 180PSI. Also worth noting is that once on vacation my dad tried to level out the van by adding air to the tires. When my mom took it to Valvaline a week lator, all 4 tires were between 80 and 100PSI. We drove all the way from Lynchburg TN to Canton OH on those.
