BFG Tire Wear Report

[RyanbabZ71]

Today I took off one of my rear tires and put on the spare (because i need to try and refinish the rim). The spare is a brand new tire and the other 3 have been on for about 27K miles

 

The 4 that are on the truck have a tread depth of 5/16" and the brand new one has a 1/2" tread depth. Have had the tires for about 2.5 yrs now also i only have rotated them 2 times (they are wearing evenly) and i run em at 52 psi

im confused, 5/16 is > 1/2 . and 1/2 seems really low for a new tire, is that a typo?

[RyanbabZ71]

5/16 = 0.3125 inches

1/2 (8/16) = 0.5 inches

 

1/2 is greater than 5/16

I have bfg m/t. Had them on for 15,000 miles. Almost no sign of wear. Rotate them every 5000 miles. Happy so far.

doh this is why we need the metric system, for some reason i was thinkin 1/4 when i read 1/2

52psi?

 

Seems alittle high, But i guess its working for you. I run my 285 Terra Grapplers at 32psi

If you think education is expensive, you should try ignorance.

Kids , give em books to read and all they do is chew the covers off em.

I've worked the ghetto beat in our town for the last 2&1/2 years...I know ignorance well.

That's where my Nittos are as well. 32psi...Unless I have the boat on there.

I've run 45 psi to 55 psi when towing with the bed loaded. I 'm running 52 psi right now. The bumps feel a little harder but the truck handles good. With the stock rims I thing the profile looks better at 45.

We have 10K on the BFG ATs on our Jeep- virtually no signs of wear. We were initially running 32 lbs but recently jumped to 50 with good results. The ride is certainly a bit stiffer but I like the sharper handling.
