BFGoodrich Rugged Terrain

[WillDiet]

Hello All,

 

Like many of you I have the stock 265/65/18 GY SRA's. I have already installed the Motofab 2.5" front only level, so I am looking to upgrade the tires.

 

I love the look of the beefy AT's and MT's on the market (BFG A/T KO2's, Duratrac's, Toyo's, etc.). But, if I'm being honest with myself I'm not going to run the truck through the gauntlet, so I will likely never really need a heavy off-roader; nor do I need to make the sacrifice in mpg just for a look. I spend 90+% of my time in traffic, hauling the kid, or cruising the interstate from point A to B. I do mountain bike, kayak, ski, and pull a 19' boat. So the truck sees some service roads and boat ramps.

 

I'm looking at the BFGoodrich Rugged Terrain seen here:

 

Not to be confused with the crappy BFG Rugged Trails from back in the day. Does anyone have these on their truck? It does come in a P-metric and LT (the P can save weight).

 

I was looking for a 275/70/18 AT, but I'm thinking about a 265/70/18 (32.6") Anyone running this size tire on a 2.5" level?

How did you end up with only one?

Needed a spare for a 17 and picked one up used.

Had these on my f150. They were great and last forever, I had over 72k miles and there was still plenty of life. Great in the snow the only draw back is they rode rough. This may be because I had rancho 7000 mt's but bump steer was an issue and some times pretty scary on crappy exit ramps. I forget what load rating mine were but I ran them at 45 psi. Again that could've been a combination of my tires and the monotube shocks.

 

Would buy again they look great and are pretty quiet

Had them on my previous truck. 2006 1500 Crew Silverado. Even with rotations and proper pressure they wore bad, were noisy and had poor snow/ice performance

My buddy had a set of these on his Silverado. They didn't last long, and he didn't like anything about them.

I ran these on my trailblazer 245/65/17 iirc. I didn't care for them, they did not perform well in the snow they slid around a lot more then the Pirelli Scorpion ATR's they replaced. Also they felt heavy and hurt MPGs quite a bit for a stock tire size. I do not recommend them at least with my application. I loved my Pirellis.

Had those on the wife's four door wrangler... Worst set of rubber I've ever purchased.. Horrible wear, dry rot that came extremely quick. Rotated those tires every 5k with oil change.. We bought some coopers and it was night and day.. I still get scared when I look up all terrain BF's for my truck.. I know people have great experiences with the BF brand, but with me it will keep my money with the general grabber at2's, cooper, nitto...

I'm also heavily considering the Cooper Discover AT3. I'd like to find them in a P metric.

Try these out and let us know what you think...

I have Cooper Discoverer ATP's pretty happy with 'em, very rugged look but, no loss in MPG, noise is not bad on the road.

Are the Cooper Discoverer ATP a Discount Tire exclusive?

Yeah exactly. I was kinda hesitant but, the reviews were all really positive and the price was right.
