Has anybody had BF Goodrich TA Long Trail Radials on there Truck, if so how would you rate them.

 

I had them on my 2001 F150 Super Crew. I liked them enough that when it came time to replace the tires, I went with the same ones. My Dad has them on his F150 as well. He also like them enough that when it came time to get new tires he bought the same thing again. If you spend a little more you can get the Michelin LTX M/S2 which is a better tire. Is your truck a 4x4 and do you drive in the snow?

 

A 2010 STX 2x4, No snow in Las Vegas. They are priced about 200 less then the Michiens

 

Me I would save the $200 bucks for something else and buy the Long Trails. The Michelin's might last a little longer, but maybe not $200 longer.

 

I have them on my 2004 Expedition 265-70-17 and I like them. Pure highway tread design, very smooth and quiet and I got mine at BJ's (club) for about $166.00 each. 60K mile tread wear warranty. I'd get them again for a 4x2 truck / SUV.

 

They are good for highway & dry weather. Which sounds like the majority of your driving. I wouldn't rate them great for much else.

 

had some on a Nissan Xterra. Good road tire. Not so much in mud. Good on boat ramp. When my stock Michelins wear out, I will take a serious look at the BFG's with a more aggressive tread.

 

Funny you mention this. The BFG's on my wife's Expy have a wider channel than the Hankooks on my 2011 and the Hankooks did fine in the snow last year. I wouldn't off road with them or consider them for serious snow covered roads but they are fine in the rain.

 

There are highway all season tires out there that are better in the snow than the Long Trail T/As, like the Michelin LTX M/S2 but they cost more. The Long Trails are perfectly capable all season tire that comes in at a good price point. I remember reading that the Long Trails were designed for 4x2 Pickups and SUVs and the Rugged Trails were designed for 4x4 applications.

 

Thanks to all of you for the information. I will be getting the BFG as they seem to be a decent tire for my purpose.

 

We had them on our Explorer and it would get pretty loose when the roads were wet. Especially snow, and significantly worse after a year or so(15k miles). I've tried a couple different sets of Hankooks too. Noise and they wore out quick were my only complaints.




I'm a winter guy personally Tim, so I'm big on AT tires, although I may just go winter tires.

 

I had the same setup. I had BFG Duelers and Long Trails...I wouldn't buy either of them again personally. Worked well when dry and light rain but any kind of adverse condition (off-road, snow, etc.) they did not like at all.

My vote would be to look at Goodyears or if you are looking to save a few bucks and get a great tire look at Yokohama Geolander ATs. Great all around truck tire and high quality, albeit totally un-American.

 

Some Ford dealers have the best price on tires. The dealer I use also has a balancing machine that supposedly simulates road condition and weight of my vehicle. I don't know how that works, but I had the dealer put new Goodyears on my Explorer. It is a good ride.

 

I bought a set of Good Year Wrangler Adventurer with Kevlar a couple months ago. Not only was my Ford dealer cheaper they also gave me a Ford loyalty discount because I get my oil changed there. The 4 tires mounted and balanced $972, then $146.68 in loyalty rewards, another $60 off for using a Good Year Credit card, and another $60 off mail in rebate for a grand total of $705.32. Tire barn would have been more for SRA's which are a cheaper tire.

 

I'm with ya brother! Personally, I think AT's are the best choice for a guy and his truck.
