BFG Goodrich All-terrian
Thinking about purchasing a set of used 31" BFG Goodrich All-Terrain tires. The tread is good and the price is right. My question is here how do they perform off-road. I currently have Sport Kings on my pickup now? Anyone have any problems with the Goodrich tires?

Man, thats kinda different. The people I've talked to say they do great in the mud. My sport-king's do alright and also seem to take forever to clean off.

I highly recommend them for street and snow. I probably have close to 100,000 miles driving on them (not all the same tires) and they are the best all around tire I have found. They are also competitively priced and hold up great.

I'll answer your original question. I have had 2 sidewall holes. What made me mad was the fact that BFG claims how tough their sidewalls are. I am not hard on stuff, and still got them. With that said, I have had 2 sets the BFG muds, but a friend of mine bought the ATs and they were pretty good. If you aren't into mud, they are great. I was really impressed how well they did in snow. The AT and MT were about even. We had comparable trucks too. If they price is good, go for it. I still would go with at least a mud tire, but that is just me.

I forgot about snow, ya they do well in snow too.
Anyone who says the A/T does well in mud, hasn't driven on a good mud tire in the mud.
"they do ok in moderate mud"....is what I was basically saying. Depends what "moderate mud" means. The sticky wet stuff thats only surface deep, sure they'll get through. But the M/Ts will claw right through thick mud, and real mud tires will do even better.

I find my BFG AT KO's don't do so hot in mud, they pack up quick and don't want to clean out. They do ok in dirt and sand and seemed ok in snow the few times I have taken them in it. They are very quiet and well mannered on the road too. I like them.

Sand and dirt are what they prefer. Mud is their enemy. They dont clean at all, and offer no traction, cause their lugs arent big enough. On my F350, which weighs at least 7000lbs, tehy dont do too much good on dirt/rock mix uphill in 2x4, they just spin.

i had a set of pep-boys futura-dakota tires that had a very similar design to the bfg a/t. very good in snow with 2wd 3/4 ton i had at the time. and they didnt cost as much as the bfg. they were stock sized 245-16 load range E and were only around $100.00 per tire.

I was very happy with my BFG AT's; snow, ice, mud, dirt, sand. It didnt matter. If the mud is high clay content, they'll have a hard time self cleaning. If it just a middle of the road mud, no problems. I say that with my driving style a few years back. When we hit the mud, it was to the floor, doing doughnuts and other stupid stuff. The tires had no problems self cleaning when the needle says 60 mph and your just doing doughnuts.
I am still very fond of the 'aired down' traction the sidewall design offered.
I would purchase them again without remorse, if they came back down in price a little.
