BFG Long Trail T/A tire

[RyanbabZ71]

Is anyone running the BFG Long Trail T/A tire? I seen they come in 285s. I am going to be in need of a winter tire (have to take the MTs off for winter they are not fun on ice). My BFG ATs are have about 47K miles and are close to their end. These seem to have a similar pattern as that of the firestones that came with the trucks. They seem alright and the price isnt bad.

 

Any thoughts

Did ok on my 2wd never had them on snow and ice though.

The MTs are good in snow but on ice watch out. Had them on early part of last winter. I couldnt get them off my truck fast enough after that experience (it was a pretty bad snow/ice storm)

Had them on our Trailblazer and as long as it's just normal highway driving in the winter they'll do but won't come anywhere near the AT's. If it was my truck I'd go a little more aggressive, Long Trails in my opinion are more of a summer tire.

The Rugged Trails might be a better bet... Since they are standard equipment on other trucks, I've seen alot of new "take-offs" on Ebay.

I've got the long trails on my f150 4x4 work truck. They do a good job for a street tire. The last set got 50,000 miles of serious abuse. Everything from jumping curbs, ditches, hills, sand, mud, lots of highway & rain and did a d**n good job.

 

They were replaced with Kelly AWR's that lasted 10,000 miles before they were balled. Needless to say I talked the company into buying a set of the BFG long trails again.

 

Traction is EXCELLENT on rain/dry pavement. Highway ride is super quiet--

10,000 miles before they were balled? Must have been one frustrated tire!

i RUN mt'S YEAR ROUND ON ALOT OF VEHICLES THAT SEE SNOW AND ICE.

 

SIPING HELPS A BUNCH!!!!!

 

MTR'S ARE 10X BETTER EVEN W/O SIPING THAN THE BFG'S ARE ON THE ICE/SNOW.

Yes, 10,000 miles and 90% of the tread was gone. Keep in mind my job consists of driving through ditches, from a stand still to on the floor up to about 75mph to merge into traffic, jumping curbs, inlets, driving through small ponds, driving over 325deg asphalt, etc.

 

The BFG's lasted over 40k with that type of abuse.

 

I won't run anything but a bfg on my work truck or personal vehicles. Lucky me that the company buys the tires for the work truck...
