Any advice on tire brad/ type. I Kinda like the BFG Commercial T/A. Ever heard of them? What are some other good ones. Only thing i dont think the commercial T/A will fit on a stock rim. Whats ya'lls advice on a good A/T tire good traction and tread life. Whatchall got?

 

i have BFG AT,s in 285/75-16 on stock rims. the tires have been good but they do tend to come out of balance (i dont know if its the tire or if i am throughing weights). the problem i have with them is the milege, i have about 23,000 miles on them and they are about shot. i am really considering a set of Bridgestone revos to replace them

 

Since you mentioned the "commercial" T/A, can we safely assume you're looking at a highway tire? If so, 8- or 10-ply? What size? What load range, D or E? For quiet ride and long treadwear, I would recommend either the Bridgestone "Revo" in Load Range E or the Michelin LTX A/S in a E Load also. Ride quality will suffer slightly versus a D Load Range tire, but for highway and longevity.... tough to beat.

Well the stock was E rated so i figured i should try to stick with it? donno though. But that tire had good grip ot it in hte picture. Better than the regular A/T. I donno what i need besides a good A/T tire that feels out the wheel well on a stock rim. Thats my criteria. Just lookin for what yall think good tires are.

 

23K, thats not very much. Most people get upwards of 50K out of a set of BFG AT's with good rotation and balance habits. That and the fact that you have a hard time keeping them balanced tells me there may be a larger problem here. It is a possibility that you are throwing the weights. How often do you have them rotated and balanced? Most people are pretty happy with their Revos, but they don't look half as good as the BFG's.

 

I get 70k out of my BFGs - always have. I rotate them, keep them balanced, and drive 3300 miles on month on highways. All of those factors contribute to good tread life.

 

i know, i was very suprised when i looked it up the other day. i rotate about every 5000 mi. i have read many posts where people are getting 50,000 plus miles out of them. its not like i am doing big smokey burnouts ever other day. as far as wear it is even, no cupping, feathering or anything that would sugest an alignment problem...dono
