Last year I bought a set of 32×11.50×15's for my 92 Chevy 1500. I love these tires. They provide great traction in almost any condition. Sand, mud, snow, and even on pavement they are very good tires. They don't flex quite as much as bias-ply mudders when rock crawling, but I didn't expect them to.
These tires work surprisingly well in the snow, which is good up here in Houghton, Michigan. Many times last year I woke up to see 18 inches or more fresh snow. I pulled out a lot of people. They are pretty good one ice as well. Their flat tread design gives massive traction on pavement compared to other all terrain designs.
One thing I really like about these tires is the rim protector and super tough sidewalls. Last winter in the middle of the night a truck passing the opposite way as me lost a rim and tire off a snowmobile trailer. I hit it at 65 mph and thought I was going to die. The BFGoodrich tire took all the blow and saved the rim. I still had to replace the tire, it had a 6 inch gash through the sidewall, but I was very impressed that the rim wasn't dented, bent or bashed.
BFGoodrich says these tires are Baja tested, and I believe it. Lots of my off roading is on very sharp and jagged rocks, and I have hit a few at a lot higher speeds than I would have liked. The tires have done just fine. They are now a little over a year old and have about 30,000 miles on them. They are almost due for replacement, but most people should be able to expect 50-60 thousand out of these. They seem very durable. I just have a tire spinning problem.
If you are looking for a tire that can do it all, and do it all fairly well, these are the best that I have found so far. They work good in all conditions, and are tough as nails.
I currently have the KOs on my Jeep up here in Fairbanks Alaska, where roads not only have snow on them like the lower 48 can have, but also where the temperature stays low enough that the snow turns to ice on most paved portions of the highway and streets. These babies, with 4×4 engaged, perform beautifully. But when in just 2WD, traction actually does suck on ice, but in snow does okay. I stay in 4WD pretty much of the time, and have had zero problems with handling, traction, and most importantly, stopping. My Jeep has anti-lock brakes, and they rarely activate, meaning I hardly ever feel the pedal pulsing, telling me that the tires truly are sticking well to the road, even when covered with snow and ice.
They are NOT mud tires - people complaining about poor mud performance from an AT are misunderstanding the purpose of an AT. If you drive around town for a day on mud tires, you will KNOW why two sets of tires is reasonable. An AT will drive comfortably on the road but still drive offroad where no normal street tire would survive. A mud tire is specialized for offroad use only. If you see someone driving on muds regularly, they probably bought the tires for bragging, not offroading. For what a set of good muds cost, and given how poorly they handle/sound/wear, why would you tear them up on the street??
After reading many comments on these tires, I have come to the conclusion that bfg ats are great for lighter trucks and/or no loads. Great for 1/2 tons trucks used on highway/dirt/mud. They will get you into the bush, then get you out. Good ride and handling. They really fall apart when subjected to heavy vehicles like 3/4 and one ton trucks. Also, stone roads will destroy them fast. My driving is probably 1/2 stone roads and I got 20000 before the belts broke. These are my experiences and are consistent with others I have read.
This is my third set of these tires on my truck.I ran the first two sets over 90000 miles, with my current set now having over 20000 on them.I have never had a flat tire.
These tires are far superior to the OEM Wrangler RTSs that went bald at 30k. The GYs were scary in the rain from day one and completely worthless off-road. The BFGs are excellent dry-pavement handlers, very stable at HIGH speeds, and good in the rain. They are very good off-road for a non-mud tire. They wear like iron. Ive got 75k on them and can probably get another 20k out of them! This wear is not the result of maintainence-I occasionally remember to rotate, but have never rebalanced them and the truck has never been aligned! Anyone experiencing wear issues needs to put more air in them. They work well with 40-45lbs unloaded (remember to add more if hauling or towing) on my truck-yes this compromises the ride, but after all it is a truck. In short these are the best all-around truck tires. This is my 3rd set-Ill never buy anything else!
Great tires for on and off road so far…Impressive grip in mud! Incredible rain traction! Cant wait to test them out in the snow! The only noise Ive noticed in them is at about 30-40 mph. Ive already gotten more than Ive expected from these tires!
Good tires while they lasted. Which was not that long. I rotated these every time I had the oil changed. (every 4k miles). I only got 27k out of them. I just purchased Yokohama Geolander tires. No question that they are FAR superior to these BFGs. (1997 Chevrolet K1500 Z71 Pick-up)
these tires come with an off-road assistance program…ive used it twice in a year..they will come winch or tow you out if you get stuck..and alot of the time the highway patrol will let you pass in severe snow with these tires…these are by far the best tires ive ever owned..if you live where ir snows and drive on mud, dirt, ice or just going on the freeway to get to work these are for you. they have the best tread wear ive ever seen on an all terrain tire..and i see alot. i install tires for a living and the best tires on the plaet are michelin but these BFG all-terrains blow away the LTX A/Ts in all aspects.
These tires do not self clean very well in mud. I expected more miles out of them as well. In my opinion, the quality was not equal to the price.
I have done everyhting that you can think of in these tires. Rocks, Mud, Snow, Rain, and Ice, and I have not had a problem keeping controle of the vehicle. I will not hesitate to put these tires on any suv or truck. I you read the reveiws there is no reason to go with the mud-terrains ether. these tires out perform them. (95 Jeep Wrangler)
After taking my Trooper to Paragon Adventure Park in Hazleton PA, I definitely knew these tires were “the tires.” I didnt air down at all, and the only time I got was stuck was when I ran out of suspension travel. I had it through mud/water up to the bumper and over a whole bunch of rocks and the tires didnt spin at all. I havent got to try them in the snow yet, but Im sure they will do fine.

Largest tires that can fit this vehicle (2001 Land Rover Discovery Series II). Very good tires. These tires with traction control greatly improved offroad preformance. Have not had to use my tow winch yet since switching to these tires. Preform suprisingly well on the road. The vehicle still handles about the same at high speeds on the road. Tires are very quiet.
I have been through watery mud holes up to my trucks pinstripe before and made it through in 2wd, driving the rutted out logging roads near my home are no problem now even in the pouring rain. …excellent stability, ride and responsiveness… (1997 Chevrolet K1500 Z71 Pick-up)
After 22,000 miles and 1 month shy of a year on the truck these tires look like they've been chewed on all the way around, all 4 tires. We live 2 miles off of the paved road on a gravel road. We were told by our local tire dealer who we bought them from that this was common for these tires after being driven on gravel roads. We live in Texas, and there a lot of farmers and ranchers like ourselves that live on gravel roads. I find it hard to beleive that driving down a gravel road would tear a tire up as bad as these. We have other brands of tires on our two other trucks, one with 40,000+ miles on the tires, and the other with around 15,000 miles on the tires, the tires on them are in great shape.

Ive never had a B.F. Goodrich tire wear out so fast. The other problem I encountered was the chunks of tire taken out while driving off-road. I would not recommend this tire to anyone who does any kind of serious off-roading. (1996 Land Rover Discovery SE7)
These tires are great! They handle as well as could be expected for a 32 on the road and ware great. Ive run them at very low pressure off road and they hook in just about everything. They tend to pack up in sticky mud, but churn right through the soupy stuff. In sand they are perfect in the single digit pressures and float through anything I could throw at them. Great tires.

I own a 8,000 lbs. 4×4 superduty crew cab and I thought with this kind of wheight truck that I would not get any sort of decent treadwear at all. I was totally wrong. The BFGs that I bought have been the best overall tire I have ever owned. I have had several 4wheel drive trucks of half the weight and got less then half the treadwear that I have recieved with the K/O's. I would recommend these to anyone that wants a good overall tire. They are the best.
tyres puncture very easily through sidewalls. i have had several twigs no bigger than matchsticks go through sidewalls several times. tyres not flat 28/36psi.bfg not interested in my complaint. ( 1998 Nissan Pathfinder XE 4wd)
Great off-road tire. Quiet on road ride. Strong sidewalls stand up to the rocks good. But if you reguarly encounter deep mud go for the mud terrains. The all terrains just get clogged up too fast to handle deep mud. Overall I am very impressed with these tires. ( 1989 Nissan Pathfinder)
Ride comfort good when run at 30-35lb air, if run at 40-50 as shop recommends, a bit stiff! Very good snow & ice traction, also good off road in dirt, mud, loose stuff, and gumbo. Several hunting buds run these on everything from Jeeps to Suburbans, very good luck. Tough sidewalls, never had a flat in areas that have shreded other tires. Work well around town too.
