Hello All,

 

Like many of you I have the stock 265/65/18 GY SRA's. I have already installed the Motofab 2.5" front only level, so I am looking to upgrade the tires.

 

I love the look of the beefy AT's and MT's on the market (BFG A/T KO2's, Duratrac's, Toyo's, etc.). But, if I'm being honest with myself I'm not going to run the truck through the gauntlet, so I will likely never really need a heavy off-roader; nor do I need to make the sacrifice in mpg just for a look. I spend 90+% of my time in traffic, hauling the kid, or cruising the interstate from point A to B. I do mountain bike, kayak, ski, and pull a 19' boat. So the truck sees some service roads and boat ramps.

 

I'm looking at the BFGoodrich Rugged Terrain seen here:

Not to be confused with the crappy BFG Rugged Trails from back in the day. Does anyone have these on their truck? It does come in a P-metric and LT (the P can save weight).

 

I was looking for a 275/70/18 AT, but I'm thinking about a 265/70/18 (32.6") Anyone running this size tire on a 2.5" level?

Had these on my f150. They were great and last forever, I had over 72k miles and there was still plenty of life. Great in the snow the only draw back is they rode rough. This may be because I had rancho 7000 mt's but bump steer was an issue and some times pretty scary on crappy exit ramps. I forget what load rating mine were but I ran them at 45 psi. Again that could've been a combination of my tires and the monotube shocks.

 

Would buy again they look great and are pretty quiet

Had them on my previous truck. 2006 1500 Crew Silverado. Even with rotations and proper pressure they wore bad, were noisy and had poor snow/ice performance

My buddy had a set of these on his Silverado. They didn't last long, and he didn't like anything about them.

I ran these on my trailblazer 245/65/17 iirc. I didn't care for them, they did not perform well in the snow they slid around a lot more then the Pirelli Scorpion ATR's they replaced. Also they felt heavy and hurt MPGs quite a bit for a stock tire size. I do not recommend them at least with my application. I loved my Pirellis.

Had those on the wife's four door wrangler... Worst set of rubber I've ever purchased.. Horrible wear, dry rot that came extremely quick. Rotated those tires every 5k with oil change.. We bought some coopers and it was night and day.. I still get scared when I look up all terrain BF's for my truck.. I know people have great experiences with the BF brand, but with me it will keep my money with the general grabber at2's, cooper, nitto...

I'm also heavily considering the Cooper Discover AT3. I'd like to find them in a P metric.

I have Cooper Discoverer ATP's pretty happy with 'em, very rugged look but, no loss in MPG, noise is not bad on the road.

Are the Cooper Discoverer ATP a Discount Tire exclusive?

Yeah exactly. I was kinda hesitant but, the reviews were all really positive and the price was right.

      Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles.

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
