Toyo vs BFG

[MT-PTK]

Thanks for all the info & suggestions. Right now I use my rig mainly as a DD with occasional off-road forays. The BFG AT's have been great in the snow so far & ride just fine on the road. The noise from a set of MT's probably wouldn't bother me at all. Lot's to consider until the time comes to plunk down some dough.

I have both.

My 60 has BFG ATs. I love them in the sand and are great for the roughly few hundred miles a year I put on it.

My 100 had BFG MTs and I just took them off and replaced them with Toyo OC ATs. I love them. Quiet and handle well on road. I broke them in at Yankee Toys Fall Gathering and they were decent off road. No comparison to the BFG MTs off road, but that's not what I got them for.

My buddy as BFG ATs on his 100 and I notice significantly more noise than my Toyos.

Good luck with your decision!

To be clear on this post. I have both BFG A/Ts and the Toyo OC M/Ts on my rigs. So far I have really liked the Toyo's because of the aggressive tread and super smooth ride. When I get my sliders on I will test out the sidewall strength this spring in Moab!

The problem with this is that he is looking at the Toyo OC/AT not the M/T. I have onwned both tires the BFG A/T and the Toyo OC/AT and if you will never take your truck off road then the Toyos stack up pretty well but if off road performance is even a slight consideration buy the BFG's good on road and great off road compared to the Toyos. I also got 72k out of my bfg while only but still respectable 60k out of the Toyos.

Good point. Can't do that apples vs oranges thing. I had intended on putting the OC/ATs on my daily driver. But the M/Ts where so smooth on the road that I considered not going that route. But, I don't commute that far. If I did and if the rubber on the M/T was so kind to my *ss I think the A/T would be even better. So, the next time I drive from UT to TX... I will drop on the OC/ATs

Rekut, youre the first person I have heard that from. My buddy had them on his Toyota 4wd truck and got nearly 70K out of them.

no kiddin, hugh heifer sold me on the bfg a/t because he said they lasted him over 5 years and were one tough tire. i've heard nothing but good stuff as far as wear longevity.

I say go Toyo, or Pro Comp all terrain which is what I run.

I'm going to out on a limb here and say that the BFG A/T side wall will be fine for 95% of the 60's on this forum. So would any other tire.

The other 5%... no way, the sidewalls suck. if you want a good cheap tire that runs well down the road get bias Iroks
