New BFG a/t?
 
I know the new bfg muds are coming out, but i am having a hard time getting some of the bfg a/t's , i called and they said they are making a new mold. Anyone heard anything? or pics of the new a/t- chris

Yeah, I was going to order myself a new spare in BFG A/T and the tire shop told me the price of the old ones and new ones. A 33x10.50 in the new style was like $175 I think thats what he said, but ordered the old style.

What the big difference going to be?

norcalsvx 01-03-2007 03:51 PM

yea its not the KO's i dont know if it is going to be a whole new tread design (like the mudders)

I hope they will stay pretty much the same, they are too good to mess with.

:good:

i love mine, done great the 2 times ive taken them out.

we had them on our old 4runner, served us well when we lived in the snow.

Here is the article Four Wheeler magazine had about them...Looks just like new sizes. Thats what BFG's website is saying too. They look the same as the old ones. Oh well BFG's kick butt anyhow.


Dont know if you can read it but its the best I know how to do sorry.

I looked all over their website and found nothing but new sizes... so ???

I only have one personal experiance with the AT's, and it was HORRIBLE... I had 4 33x10.50's, after 10K miles Costco had replaced 3 of them for sidewall failures, and the 4th was over half bald at 10K. I am positive I had a bad batch, but I still returned them to Costco, hell of a warrenty/return policy. I am going to be giving them another chance on my taco. I LOVE the M/T's I have on my 92, but dont need a M/T on my taco....


I do like the sound of the 245/75/75... if it looks like chains wont fit my 07 on 265/70/17 I will probally end up with the 245's...

The new tire is indeed different, though the tread pattern is the same.

The change has to do with how they actually build the tire, as far as i was told. it is going to be put together in pieces now, rather than one entire mold. This supposedly gives a better, smoother ride. They argue that it makes the tire stronger, but were unable to convince me about that over the phone.

Needless to say, for my crappy IFS ride on my 87, i don't need a smoother ride, and for the $50 or so price jump per tire, i was kindof pissed.

BTW, BFG also does not make custom sizes, nor are they interested at this time in producing a 35x10.50R15. :P (The reason for my call when i found all of this out)

cool good info, thanks

I take it no new obvious changes for the muds either? not that they are in need of changing really.. :)

04 Rocko Taco 01-05-2007 04:05 AM

I was worried, I love my BFG Tread Pattern. :)

AxleIke 01-05-2007 07:23 AM

don't know about the muds. sorry.

norcalsvx 01-05-2007 07:32 AM

gregbreakseverything 01-05-2007 07:34 AM

That's only the one size - all the "normal" sizes are still the same.

AxleIke 01-05-2007 10:08 AM

Yeah, i'm pretty sure that size, like troy said, is the only one where there is a difference, and thats like the "dub" size or something.

norcalsvx 01-05-2007 10:57 AM

ahh, i also saw something in one of the 4x4 mags about it
