Yep....I agree.....BFG All Terrains. I have them and will most likely get another set when they wear out. The Nitto's are better looking, but wear a little quicker. Nitto also make a kick ass, cool looking Dune Grappler that got great reviews for street and sand use, but they were composed of very soft rubber compared to other all-terrain tires.

note: dont get the raised white letter version if you occasionally scrape curbs at banks, home, etc. A white ring will start to appear as the rubber scrapes away and makes your tires look like shit.....as mine are starting to do.

I use BFG's,I think they are a pretty tough tyre but apparently those coopers tyres are better,but more expensive in OZ.US made too arent they ? Oh,and the BFG's say Baja winner on the sidewall !

I hate BFG AT's.
JUNK
GARBAGE
CRAP

I get better life out of $100 no name mud tires.

Will never put another set on anything I own.
They sure look pretty though.
I cant get them to last on a 3/4 ton truck.
I have had 2 sets separate on me, coming apart inside of the wheel.
No more BFG for this guy.

You hear good things about about the Nitto and Toyo. I've never tried them myself but I was considering them when I bought my tires. BFG's are popular around here, probably because they are the cheapest. I personally think they look ugly.

I ended up buying Mickey Thompson MTZ 33X12.50X17 for my Duramax. They're a little noisy but they look good. Not bad in snow either. I only put on 5k a year so tire wear isn't an issue. I think they are made by Cooper.

I was looking at Michelin's also but they were pretty expensive.

I've got 32k on my BFG's and they are still in pretty good shape.
They work well in the mud, snow, gravel and are quiet on the highway.
I'd get another set.

Best tire I ever had on my Dmax. Whatever you do, just make sure you get a load range E tire.

I've been breaking in a set of 305/70-17 Nitto Terra Grapplers since this summer. I have previously had the BFG A/Ts in a 285/70-17. Of these two this is how they compare:
Street - (1) BFG (2) Nitto
Wet - (1) Nitto (2) BFG
Off Road - (1) Nitto (2) BFG
Price - (1) Nitto (2) BFG

The BFG is a superb tire. It's suprisingly quiet AND effective off road. The Nitto is like the BFG only better. It performs better on the street, in the wet, and everyplace offroad and costs alot less! It is much noisier, granted it's a larger tire than my previous A/T, and due to it's noise level on the highway I consider the BFG A/T a more user friendly street tire. As it doesn't have nearly as high of an off road signiture. I have heard / read that some guys experience excellerated wear with Nitto's. Dannygraves mentioned it may be due on part to owners mounting tires with the improper load range for their vehicle. Beings how everybody I've seen complain about the service life of their Nitto's drove heavy 3/4 and 1 ton trucks I think this is very likely the case. The wear so far on my relatively light Tundra has been excellent. The Toyo as I understand is a compromise of the two. Not as effective as the Nitto on the trail, but friendly street manners on the highway like the BFG. It's also priced closer to the BFG as well.

My neighbor has the Dune Grapplers on a couple of his rigs, nice tires. Look great, last ok, and traction is nice on and off road. My favorite dual purpose tire is the Goodyear WranglerMTR which stands for maximum traction reinforced, they are NOT a mud tire. They are long lasting imo, but I rate long life differently than most. If I get any more than 5000 miles out of a set of tires I'm happy. That's because if you truelly use your rig off road doing rock crawling and other harsh off road use, you just won't get the same kind of life out of them as if you never wheel. If all you need is sand traction and long hwy. life, almost any tire will work. Your best investment would be a set of tires that last long and work great for the hwy., and a GOOD compressor so you won't be scared to air down at the dunes.

I saw a 4x4 Duramax CC SB with Bridgestone Dueler Revo's today. Owner said they outperformed and outlasted the BFG ..... any thoughts???

I had BF goods and they were all right --> wore pretty fast so so off-road

I've had Good Year Wrangler MT/R's on for two years and I like 'em

p.s. they are kinda sexy looking too (if your into that)

p.s.s they do hum a bit

I have the MTRs in 35 12.50 from Bobs pic on my truck. I didn't like them in the Mud. I had a set of Maxxis Buckshots that I thought performed better in the mud. They lasted 40k with rotations before they were unsafe. They were on my Cherokee though.

I had this tire on my Duramax and I effed up and didn't buy these in 10 ply (Load Range E) and they were pounded out at 20k miles and noisy as shit. I drive almost all highway miles. These tires were rotated at 7500 miles regularly and kept at 55 psi. Great traction in rain and snow, but not a top line tire in my opinion, but like I said, the Duramax needs a 10 ply with all that weight up front so my experience is off a little.

these tires are ran on many of our customers H1 hummers with the best of experience in the 37x12.50.17's

Ryan, well if they have no complaints then I'm cool with that. My experience was different, but likely would have been better if I had bought the 10 ply version Geolander.
