hey guys i have the BF long trails and dont like them. granted i will run them till they are worn out but i will deff get some different ones. its factory height.. i like the BF alll terrains a lot but i drive a lot of highway miles now and dont do much offroading.. what are some good tires that will last on the road and still have an aggressive tread pattern for offroad?? thanks guys.. oh and i cant spend a fortune on these

if your mostly on pavement, BFG A/T's are hard to beat, they are good off-road, and get excellent mileage. not good in mud though.

i live where the red mud grows haha and they did pretty good then. you just have to make sure the tires are rotating at a high speed to fling the mudd off.. what about bridgstone a\t's?

can anyone else chime in on this?

If it's mostly pavemnt then BFGs are a poor choice since their on-road manners leave alot to be desired especially in the wet. My Nittos will eat a BFG apart on a DD on pavement and in the rain/snow and the Nittos are pretty comprable off-road.
BFGs have no water evacuation channels and their dry grip is so-so. BFGs do wear well when the miles pile up but the rubber gets very hard after they are about 50% gone and thus further reduces dry grip.
I've driven on three sets of BFGs and they kick ass off road but on-road there's much better and cheaper choices.

I'd get the Revos for a truck that sees alot of pavement miles with the occassional off road excursion. I'd recommend the Nittos but if you put alot of miles a year on your truck they aren't the best option but they are still about $200 cheaper than a set of BFGs.

i've got a 03 tacoma and went to the bfg a/t and I like them and expect to get alot of miles out of them. One disadvatage is they make my truck ride rough. The factory tires are soft and absorb alot of the road and the new bfg a/t don't. Kind of like going from car tire to hard truck tire.

You can also go one size up from factory size with minimal rubbing at hard turns.

i do drive a lot miles in a year! like around 30k miles.. so i deff need a tire that can hold up on the highway BUT have good offroad capabilities.. keep the replies comin! thanks guys

i had two sets of bf at's on my old jeep wrangler and loved them. the wore well and i never really had any issues with sliding in water and etc.. the were great on ice and snow and mud. yeah they rode a little rough but as far as driving through standing water i never really had any issues with them

I thought BFGs were great too til I tried a couple of other tires and IMO the Nittos behave much better on road by far and they do still cost $50 cheaper a tire once out the door at my local Discount Tire.

what kind of nittos? what kind of mileage do you get out of them too? and how are they offroad?

I have heard that the Yokohama Geolander AT's are good tires too. Thats what I plan on getting if I ever wear out the set that I have on my 4Runner now.

mkgarrison5

can you give more info on those?? how do they hold up mileage wise and how are they off road?
