picardy Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Thats what i mean its the same old story i surpose you get what you pay for but if you pay over £300 for two tyres and you rip the wall over the fields you would be proper savage.

Atb Dave Nearly twice the mileage out of the tire compared to the Generals, thats what for so in the long run they work out about the cheapest A/T available. Buy once cry once.

al4x Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I'm fairly convinced now that they are also better off road than the grabbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy once cry once. well i stand corrected, i didnt realise you could squeeze 70k out of BFG ATs. Thats impressive, most of the people i know only manage upto 40k which is similar to GGs, maybe its our youthful heavy foot! as for offroad, im not sure, its more down to the driver than the tyre brand. I used to run BFG M/T which are fantastic but not so good on long runs, towing and braking not the best compared to AT tyres. If the mud is deep i either avoid it or get the ATV out!

activeviii Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 BFG's all the way for me. i found them for £400 fitted in 31x10.5 r15. i phoned all the people that said they specialize in 4x4 tyres. A few mates have had theirs on for a very long time. i reckon mine will out last my truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
