big o bigfoot xt

Getting new tires to go along with my sonoran steel kit. Has anyone used these....by the looks of my search it appears not. I like the tread style but big O wanted $225 a pop! I told them that price was crazy but he tried to justify it by saying it has a full warranty. cool design though, kind of a MT AT hybrid.

those don't look ALL THAT different than the Kumho Road Venture A/T's - granted they aren't as stout looking, but they are under 1/2 the price...
Might be worth checking into...I run them, they grip great offroad.

and just for kicks, here is the Kumho Road Venture Mud Terrain's also. Look a lot like a BFG.

For that kind of money, I would much rather have Wrangler MTR's.

For that price you can get BFG's or Wrangler MTR's for sure. I haven't had very good experience with Big O brand tires. The service is good, and they are good to deal with as a shop, but I don't like the quality of the tires at all.

I've looked at these tires too. The look like a cross between the Wild Spirit Trailcutter M/T and their R/T. I can even see a little Nitto Terra Grappler in there too. Good looking tire IMO, but yeah, I've heard bad things about Big O tires. For the price, I'd run from those! FWIW, I'm leaning heavily to the Maxxis Bighorns right now.

I don't know how Big-O tires stay open, they're always way expensive. Honestly, from the treads I looked at they seem to be your household name tires rebadged with "Big-O" on the side and a bigger price tag.

My neighbor just dumped his Big O tires at something like 25 or 30k miles... almost worn bald. Ridiculous.

I got 285 BFG AT's for $182 at Big O last week, they price matched Discount Online. Service was great, although I had to have the fronts rebalanced (no charge) and they're golden now.

We have a set of those on one of the work trucks. They are quieter than regular muds and still have a pretty aggressive tread. Do well on and off pavement, but that truck is off pavement at least 50% of its time in use. They have held up fine on a chevy half ton for less than 10k miles.

Depends on your driving really, for my money and my situation I would go with BFG muds.
