In my experience the BF Goodrich AT last longer then other brands and their tread is still quite useable after 30000 miles unlike several other brands. I'm almost through a set of Bridgestone dueler revo AT. They we're awesome for the first 20000 miles but not worth a dime afterwards. I haven't tried the Goodyear's yet. I'm nervous to try anything other then BF ATs because I know that they work. Anybody have any tried and true tires other then the BF's that last as long? I'm planning on going just stock size at 265/65/16 for my 04 F250 diesel. I do plow with it as well and I tow 12k-19k a few times a year with it. I've heard from a lot if people that you can't go wrong with BF AT's

i have ran my BFG's A/T KO's right to the wire but when i got new tires i pick up a set up a set of toyo open country A/T's, i was VERY impressed by them, they have ecellent tread life and have good traction, even in the field after they have been plowed under, which is suprising casue my BFG's did not like plowed under field at all. my toyo's have 35,000 on them and they are only at about half tread, give or take. i also have family out in the north dakota oil fields and its what they run too cause it takes the abuse of the red rock oil roads.







if you can still see the color, you ain't muddin'

Bfg are my second choice....my first is what I'm using now...Goodyear, M/T they have lasted me about 65-70k miles with the occasional burnout here and there... they're great in the mud, snow and rain, but they are almost at the end of there life as I'm pretty sure I'm guna have to replace em come spring, the only down side is they humm real good on the highway, and are hard to balance, but I like the humm :-)

I agree Bfg are rated for over 50k miles.  Best A/T tire on the market hands down.  Worth the $.

I think some of it depends on the quality of rubber being used in the tire.  I run BFG AT's on my 90 K5 blazer and love em..........but I'd take the best of both worlds an have a 2nd set of BFG mud terrains for fall/deer season as well.

agreed the m/t are a better off road tire, but for all terrain, especially on road use an snow, the Bfg A/T is the best.

I did have some general grabbers years ago that were decent too

Alignment and inflation have a lot to do with longevity..
Tire Compounds also play a big role ...
I have had good life out of coopers also.

i agree bfg`s are the best i`ve owned but now i`m running a set of cooper discover lt`s (it was a cost thing when i got them) i have over 40,000 on them and still have plenty of meat maybe 1/2 tread  on them they are a little stiff but when i haul something either my boat or camper they run great!

I haven't noticed much of a difference between cooper discover s/t, bfg a/t m/t, or goodyears. They all depend on how you drive, inflation, rotation and alignment. All of them run over 40k no problem if maintained correctly. My favorite all around personally has been the cooper, just rode nice, not sure why. Tore some stuff up offroad as well ;)

I will say from experience at a tire shop over a year. Goodyear tires seem to be more prone to seperated belts. Coincidence or quality, not sure.

I have had the best luck with Cooper Discover atr's  on my plow/work truck. I run load range E tires on my Chevy K2500 due to pulling car trailers and plowing snow.
My tires are wearing in perfect with just over 30,000 miles on them and over 3/4 tread still on them. But truly its all in personal preference.

When I had my 07 Silverado I was looking for a set of the atr's but was told they were discontinued for the at3. Also I have had pretty good luck with the general grabber at2 they are fantastic in the snow and seem to be wearing allright too I think about 30k miles and about 1/3 tread left. I had a set of duratracs too and they were great I bought them used about 1/2 tread a
And wore funny but I got 25k out of them still but once they got to the wear bars they got a bit sketchy in rain.

Thank you all for your comments. All comments I respect and am using to help determine what set of tires to get. I would agree that in the mud that BFG mud terrain would be better however the ATs are better in the snow and for plowing. I like the looks of the coopers. I've never heard any comments on them though. The duratracs I've heard are great but haven't heard how any of them  perform after 30000 miles which is where I know BFGs continue to work exceptionally well. I personally really like the BFGs to begin with. After being in the army and seeing how bad the HMMVES are in the snow I know I don't care for mud terrains for snow and I don't have money for two sets. Anyways I thank you all for the comments once again.

I am assuming that by this point you have bought new tires. I am posting this in here because it is similar in thought process. I am looking into getting new tires for my 01 Dodge Ram. It's a DD and weekend warrior. I found the company treadwright (treadwright.com) that does re-treads. Now, my only personal experience with retreads has been on 18 wheelers and those SUCK! However, treadwright has a totally different approach to retreading their tires. I have read a lot of reviews and they seem to be a great tire. I was wondering if anyone on this site has used treadwright and if you would recommend them or not? Thanks in advance y'all.  a=f

I lived in wyoming for several years. The coal mine i worked at ran retreads from treadrite. They held up very well in the crushed stone drives and roads we had there. And when it rained and got muddy they performed great. Although they did buy the aggressive tread. On average we would get a year and a half out if a set running nothing but muddy and rocky roads. Usually the down fall was a punctured side wall. My buddy ran them on his one ton pavement pounder. He used them till they were almost bald. They balanced well and there was no issues

Outstanding. That is like what most of the reviews I've found online have said. Just wanted to verify with someone who I may know a little better. Thanks  a=f
