Hey, you're from san luis. I live in atascadero. I've ran the BFG's on my 95 4runner, and I currently have the procomps on my current 87 4runner. I like both, but went with the procomps this time due to the price. The BFG's worked very well at the dunes, but I haven't had a chance to run the procomps at oceano yet. I'm gonna go out on saturday so i'll let you know then. Another reason I went with the procomps is I heard they work very well in the rain. After my 4runner got sideways twice on the grade with the BFG's while only going 50mph made me give the procomps a shot, especially with the rainy season ahead (yea right).

 

don't know bout you guys, but I spin my bfg's all around town without a breeze. It just slips even in loose dry gravel along roads and such. But the life on those trend is good enough for buy it. On the other hand, never tried pro comps but like the xterrain look or the mtz.
My opinion is that mostly all AT tires doesn't have that aggressive look that I like, maybe swappers have (I think) that are looks great.

 

Shockingly, no.... except for 4-wheel parts, no one else in bako stocks procomps.

We sold hell out of the pro-comp all terrains...



Pro-Comps, Pirelli Scorpions, and Kumho Road Venture AT's were the most popular truck tire from what i remember.

 

BFG's last forever. AT's Very good all around tire, the MTs even last a very long time on the highway. I got 30k km on a used set of 35" MTs that had 75% when I got them and I bet I am at about 50% now. I will not buy anything but BFG.

 

Nittos rule wet weather handling over BFGs by far and they cost less and are a smarter choice for a daily driver and handle the trails fine and I'm an ex-owner of several sets of BFGs on various Toyotas.

 

I've never had Pro Comps, but I can tell you that the BFG's impress me. They wear incredibly well, and in any of the conditions I've had them in, they've performed better than I could expect. Thick mud is the only place that these are gonna give you trouble...but that's what mud tires are for.

In my book, BFG's have the rep they have because they are an outstanding tire. I read some people judging AT's negatively, but most of the time it's based on conditions they weren't designed for. If you use it as an AT tire, I don't think you can go wrong.

Those Nitto TerraGrappler's look like they have a tread design somewhat catered toward water evacuation. I could maybe see them being good in wet conditions, but I have a hard time believing they could hang with BFG's off road and in snow conditions.

 

go with the bfg's, i run 35 " mt,s, luv em. and they win!!!

 

I too have to say the BFG's are the way to go. I run35x 12.5 ko's and after about 25,000 all around mile's(daily driver 80 miles a day) they are still like new and have yet to fail me.

I have not had the rain issue's people are talking about and maybe that's because I drive like it's raining so I can't speak to that but even out in the wood's with fall leave's about 1-1 1/2 inch's deep from the bottom of a pretty good size hill and no room to get a run at it they preformed great.

I went from the Pro comp at and have to say they where used up with about 25,000 mile's but if price is the seller for you save a little longer and run what you got because dollar for dollar the BFG will pay for themself's in mileage and money saved.

When you end up buying a second set of pro comp's that if you would have gotten the BFG's in the first place you would still be driving around on and thinking about new tire's in a couple more month's the dollar to dollar saving's start to look a whole lot better.

 

Well I'll chime in now, The Pro Comps are fine tires, just used 'em last week to get to the mountain for snowboarding. The only ice I encountered was actually on the way back down, but they held the corner and I didn't kiss the guardrail. As for durability, I'm still waitin to find that one out too, I've had 'em for about 1k miles now. I have had the BFG's, however they were on a '72 F150 that had been rammed into a tree sideways somehow or another, so I can't comment on their durability.

 

I have had some BFGs for several thousand miles and they still look and work like new. They work well in the snow. I have a heavier suv and they work great. I would def reccomend them.

 

For sure, let me know how they do.

I'm currently running the Cooper Discoverer AST from Big Brand Tire.

Whenever i go out to the dunes i have to stay in 4wd the whole time (at least when i'm not on sand highway) and have to drop my psi to 18.
Don't get me wrong, i never feel like i'm gonna get stuck, but i see all these other 2wd trucks haulin'ass around and i think -- why can't i do that in 2wd too?

so hopefully with some new BFGs i'll hook up a little better.

 

I just went muddin for a while and it cleans itself real well.

 

go with the bfg's. 50,000 mile warranty so what. since when has a tire manufacturer actually covered their warranty. usually they make you have proof the things alligned, and rotated every xthousand miles, etc. Too much of a pain in the ass, just go with the good tires. BFG's arent that expensive anyway, and they're pretty much bullet proof.

oh and i also vote for taking your gf snowboarding with you lol

 

I have run both. They are both good tires however I agree the softer tire compound on the Pro Comps make the my second for my DD. I am currently running BFG KM's and they seem to be doing very well. Quite, handle well on both wet and dry pavement. They air down well but the bead guard is something I wish it didn't have. Seems to stick out too much for and makes bead pop that much easier. For the money I would go with the BFG's. They will last longer and if you have any issues with them they are a lot easier to find a replacement. IMHO.

 

I have a set of the BFG at and they are great went off roading for the first time with them and they did great I have not driven them in snow yet so I will see in the next few weeks when that starts to happen.
I have BFG longtrails on my 4runner and they did real well except when it got real cold they got very hard and slippy on wet and slushy roads.

I also drove them off road in mud and on rocky washout trails and they did ok I never got stuck.

 

Nittos still kill BFGs in everyday driving and if you think BFGs are better than you should actually drive on a set of Nittos. I have experience with both and the only thing I attest too BFGs being better is their looks which do have a slight edge and their sidewalls grip a little better off road.

 

with which tires?

 

depends what you're talking about for mud too. the bfg at's, like all at's, dont do well in serious mud. thats what a mud terrain tire is for.

i dont know anything about the nitto's, but his question was bfg's or pro comps so...

oh, and they work well in snow. not quite a snow tire, but most of the sizes have the snowflake symbol, which means they're rated for winter driving conditions. I haven't had any issues with em in the snow, aside from getting stuck on an ice patch while in 2wd (I was parallel parked on it facing downhill, and needed to back up to get out of the space) I haven't seen really deep snow with em, only up to about a foot, but they didn't have any issues with the foot

 

I won't be able to make it out today. I located my coolant leak today while putting on my magnaflow. It started leaking a lot so it's undrivable untill I get it fixed. It sucks, but i'm glad I finally found where it is coming from.

 

Well, I guess what I have to ask, is why don't any professional reviews or comparisons of these tires reflect your opinion?

I love Nitto, and have used their drag radials, as well as their street performance tires for almost 10 years. I just see an overall dominance with the BFG's.

Is it possible the Nitto's just better suit your driving habits maybe? You just seem to be the minority on the subject is all I'm saying.
