I see a lot of pictures of Jeeps around here rocking these tires.

I've got them on my XJ and I think they're great tires, and I was curious... just how many people here DO have them?

Post here if you're running BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A tires and share your stories of how good/bad they are, so I know just what kind of mess I can get myself into without overwhelming the tires

 

I hear great things about them. A lot of people compare the General Grabbers to them, they are a bit cheaper. If I wasn't going with Grabbers my choice would be the BFG all terrains.

 

I've been running them for quite a while, they work great for d/d service with moderate wheeling. They don't like sticky goop, slick mud, or sand, but they work well in the snow, and pretty much anywhere else. I went to Rausch Creek with them on, barely spun a tire, they grip dry rocks very well.

 

my friend has a TJ with a 3" body lift and he has 33" BFG A/T, they work great for him

 

I've got 31's and they work quite well. AS has been said, they don't like mud or sand. They don't clean themselves out in either. Airing down for sand really helps with them though.

For dirt, snow, and rocks though, they're a really good tire. Wet rocks will result in them slipping a little, but if you can modulate your throttle well you won't have any issues.

One thing I really like about them is how well they operate on DD/weekend wheeler XJ. With the XJ being a pretty light vehicle, the tread wears slowly and they don't create much road noise.

 

Was runnin them for a while just upgraded to some super swamper!

 

Running 31s on my xj, but haven't really gotten a chance to test them off road.

Had 235/85-16s on our ex-work truck, it was a '07 chevy 1-ton 2wd. One trip we had 6000# on the flatbed and a mess of a snow storm. All the big rigs were sliding backwards down the overpasses and vehicles stuck everywhere. The bfg's never slipped, we were able to keep traveling for about 10 hours in that with at times going as slow as 6 mph. I'm sure the extra weight helped.

But we've had a few sets of bfg all terrains and pretty much never been disappointed. Good tire, but outdated looking.

 

Running 31 BFG A/TS on stock aluminum 5 hole rims and stock suspension. In the snow they are awesome, and the make a world of difference over stock tires. They ride and handle better without too much road noise.
Not so great in the mud, but then again these tires were free to me and only have about 1/4 of the tread left. Once I do the lift I will be running 33 all terrains because I like them so much.

 

i hate them! they were absolutely horrible. now i have the 33in wrangler duratracs

 

Always liked this pic, shows off the tire.

 

I'm getting them.

For me, the mixed trade of good road manners with good snow, dry dirt, etc. is what I need. I'm not interested in rock crawling. I think the ones that complain are mostly interested in slow go mud and 'wheeling' stuff. That's why they complain. They (to me) aren't designed for that).

One segment you'll see a TON of praise for these tires are chasers. Now that I have a Jeep (versus my Subaru just before this) I am going to be joining the BFG AT group. They simply love these tires. The mud thing is a problem, but usually that is more of an issue on certain days and situations. If you are chasing on a muddy roads (vs. dry roads) your likely doing it wrong (too far behind the storm). While my Jeep will start as a DD (till I get a cheapo Geo or Corolla or something with 30+mpg) these tires will still be on them even once it's a dedicated film, outdoor, and storm chase vehicle.

Additionally, the tread life seems pretty good. They are rated I believe for 50,000 miles, which is impressive for an AT tire. I've hear the average is more like 40,000, but that's still great. Others I read wear much faster (especially the MTs..which is expected of course). But for me, who can put 6,000 miles on a car in two weeks while chasing (and upto 40,000 per year), tires are a big deal. The last tires I had that performed as sell were the Firestones tires (the infamous ones that shredded on the Explorer). Mine weren't the ones recalled (made before the problem occurred). They lasted the 40,000 miles before I had to leave the truck in St.Louise (blown motor). I suspect they still had plenty more miles...but they don't make those anymore...so the BFGs are the only comparitive tire I've seen since.
