new tires
I'm confused as to what tires to get to replace the original tires.
I have 50k miles on the original tires, BF Goodrich Rugged Trail T/A, found them at Costco for $152+ tax mounted, balanced and installed.
They also have BF Good rich All Terrain for $176+ tax mounted, balanced and installed.
What is the difference between these two tires, the guy that I spoke to at
Costco, had no idea.
I'm leaning towards getting the same tires because of how long they lasted, and still have quite of bit of tread left.

I would go with the BFG All Terrain TA. The Rugged Trail TA is a cheaper tire sold to price concious people like Ford Motor Co and Cotsco and Wal Mart. The All Terrain TA is the better tire. I've ran a lot of All Terrain TA's in my life and averaged 80,000 per set out of them. They are a darn good running tire. Currently I've got a client who is a Bridgestone dealer and I sure wish he'd get BFG too. Most tire companies make a 2nd rate tire that they market at places like Wal Mart and Ford Motor Co. Kinda like the John Deeres Lowes and Home Depot sells. They may be green but they aren't Deeres.

...Another vote for the BFG AT's. Hands down, the best tire I've ever owned. Drive great, wear great (80K not unheard of, even on a superduty), good in rain, snow, gravel, mud......just a GREAT all around tire.

Maybe that's why I don't get the mileage though. Hahahahaha

Another one for All Terrain Ta's. great price on them too. I was quoted $185.00 ea out the door for 285-75R16's Load range E here in Houston and ended up gettin them for $160 after haggeling. Are you sure the TA's were less than the AT's? I found the TA's here were more than the AT's.
