Big O Tires

Anybody out there ever run any "Big O Tires". Found the website, and the Big Foot X/T and M/T both caught my eye. Havent really found much about them (not even a price yet), but look like decent tires. Let me know if anyone has experience with them. Thanks guys.

I had their tires on a Subaru 4wd wagon and the Big Foot AT's on a Nissan 4x4 when I lived in Colorado. They worked well in the winter snow and easy trails I did into the backcountry.

They are probably comparable to a Dunlop. They are ok, nothing to write home about. If I recall, they have a good roadside/replacement policy for blown tires.

Blown tires....Maybe that's not a good thing to have replaced frequently.

I had Big O's on a vehicle once, although it's so far back I don't remember which one. I do remember that they were noisy from day 1.

The BFG Rugged Trail are cheap for a reason.

I just took them off my wife's Tacoma (stock) . They ride hard and have poor wet/snow/ice traction. Plus they wouldn't balance well at all.

Iwent to Big O once to get tires and their salesman told me not to buy them because they could never get them to balance. Hence, I decided not to buy them.

I have Big O Big Foot A/T Dual Groove's, they came with my truck. My signature says "Big O Crap tires", but I should change that! I recently got a seriously bad flat tire because the construction guys at my work leave crap in the road all of the time (looked like a razor, and a lag bolt hole). They replaced the tire for free (i just paid $12 install).

WOW! I had no idea how worn out my tires were. The new tire looks much more agressive, and I'm ordering 3 more so they all match. ($130x3)

I've wanted to get Revo's for a while, but these tires are supposed to compare, and I've read nothing but positive reviews about them online.

Btw, my worn tires never drove POORLY, but drove like an old tire.

I'll post back when I get to check all 4 new ones.

EDIT: Their warranty is for any tire that cannot be fixed. They will replace the tire even if it's vandalized. Plus, its unlimited mileage.

My road noise is not bad.
