I still say they are a good tire. They are a litte overpriced, but I bought mine at cost $174 for 315/75/16 which isnt bad. Seems as though everyone on here is comparing an AT to a MT or even a Bogger. Come on now, compare a BFG AT to any other AT out there. I think that it is probably one of the best AT's out there. So what they are designed for they do NOT suck, they are actually pretty damn good. Like I said before, you want off-road performance buy an OFF-ROAD tire.

I think All-Terrain is the wrong name for the tire. Its more like Some-Terrain. S/T

I had a set on a 85 f150 (they were on it when I bought it.) I did not like them on that truck. Of course I was 18 and wanted to put the truck in places where Boggers wouldn't go.

I have a set on my wifes 05 Excursion. Again they were on it when I bought it.

They are a good tire for highway use. I have also found that they do good in loose sand. I would not buy them because of the price. I also know that they are a 40 to 50K mile tire.

I will say that they are a good tires for 90% of the people that buy them. Honestly most of those trucks won't leave the black top. I will leave them on my wifes EX untill it need new tires. (that will be a while) Also I wouldn't think about puting them on my truck. My Superduty has 315-70-16 Cooper SST's. My F150 has 36" TSL's.

Not to **** on anyone's parade here.

But i had a set on my Chevy and they were amazing, granted i didn't do any serious off-roading, but i don't remember getting stuck once during the winter, or anywhere work had taken me throughout the summer..




i miss that truck..and those tires *tear*

i apologize for not driving a truck older then my grandpa, and subsequently having to get it stuck to somehow feel "cool" and then post about it later.

Hmmmm....
I can see that... After MANY years of wheeling, the EXACT same rig... If you dont push your limits, than you wont know what your capable of, and you wont learn anything new...

If you push your limits, you will push them to far, and get stuck... Its a learning process... Make mods, push your limits farther, get stuck find out what rig is capable off, then repeat...


If your not getting stuck, you either own the baddest rig on the planet, or your not pushing you and your rigs capabilities...

Also, i am going to be kinda and ask that you drop the attitude, that crap dont fly well around here.

also....

Feel free to take your billy badass self somewhere else, we dont need you or your bs around here... If you feel like growing up and having an adult conversation, feel free to come back.


* secret meaning... Cocky, ignorant and generally having no idea whats going on in the real world.

And Truckin nailed it, keep building and pushing the limits and you'll get stuck...so when you decide to get off the training potty and go wheeling with the big boys you'll learn that BFG A/T's won't cut it. This is an OFFROAD forum discussing how BFG A/T's won't cut it on the real offroad, not dirt paths, not gravel, not wet grass. And yes...you're a little too new to have an attitude like that...it's a really good way to make people not want to help you.
I dont mind being called a hillbilly dont matter what ya call me, as long as you dont call me in late for dinner!!!!

lol...
