Procomp AT's vs. BFG AT's
I'm looking at getting some new AT's for my F350.
Does anybody have experience with either the
Procomp AT (35x12.5x16)
and/or the
BFG AT (315x75xr16)?
(yes they are the same size)
I've got two different local shops telling me different things. One says that Procomp is the way to go because it has a 50K warranty on the AT and the other is saying that Procomp is crap.
Opinions??

If you do any off-roading, I'd say BFG, their much more aggressive than the Procomps. If it's mainy street, I'm not sure some people love Procomps and some people hate them. Everybody loves BFG.

I ran a set of the Pro Comp MT's in the 33x12.5x15 flavor. Mostly on the street, I actually ran them until they were close to bald and realized I had them for close to 70k miles!! I really liked the siping between the center lugs that spread open when the tire touched the ground. they gave me great traction on and off road. I'm not too familar with the ATs though. By looking at them they look like street tires and the BFG's look more aggressive. The only reason I went with a different tire, is I wanted a much more aggressive offroad tire, but I still may go back and get a set of the Pro Comp MTs to run the streets with.
Oh, by the way, my MTs were Blem tires to boot!! I still have 2 of the 33's left if you want pics of how much tread was left after I swapped!
BFG's are good, but over rated and way overpriced!

I had a set of BFG At Ko's 33/12.50/15 and i could never get them to balance right, they also wore out pretty fast, however they are awesome in the snow.
Never had the pro comps but i would try them.

Hehehe, uh, last time snow was a problem was back in '85 when we got 13 inches. Time before that was 69 or 70.
A typical winter might have less than 1".
Thats less than 1" for the ENTIRE WINTER. Combined.
'course the trade off is hitting 100's by March or April and getting down to the 70's or 80's by January or February.

No experience with the Pro Comps or 4 Wheel Parts. But the Pro Comps are their store brand, so it's no wonder they recommend them.
I've had many sets of BFG's and they were good. Had one set of Michelin LTX M/S's which were awesome tires. Had one set of Wild Country RVT Traction tires which were absolute junk. Current set is Big O Big Foot A/T. They are doing just as well as the BFG's ever did, plus they seem to ride a little smoother. I've had them up in the woods the last couple weekends hunting, and they've handled everything I've thrown at them, including a couple pretty nasty stretches of big, sharp, loose rocks without a problem. In fact, they seem to be better in the dirt and rock than the BFG's were.
