Tire ?

Pointerman · January 27, 2005

Anyone have any experience with BigO's "Bigfoot AT" or Toyo's AT? About $100 cheaper than the BFGoodrich AT and carry a better warranty. Going on a 2500HD 4x4 Crew Cab. Don't go offroading other than some occasional mild mud when I am hunting and do a trip to the snow once a year. Tow a 5K lb. boat/trailer combo in the summer months.

I had a set of Bigfoot ATs on my '92 Z-71 half ton. I liked them. They were the ones with the two deep grooves. I'd had Bigfoot ATs that didn't have the groove and they sucked on water and slush. I had really good luck in snow with both types of tires. They wore fair, with a little uneven wearing on the fronts ("ramping" of the lugs(?)). That was probably because I wasn't too prompt about rotating them...

BigO's seem to be a pretty good tire. I used to give them all my tire service, but the manager quit at the store I used to go to and the new manager was a real jerk, so I bought some peerless tyres last time. Bad move, they get a cold flat spot real bad and don't seem to be wearing all that well. That might be from the 402BB in my GMC though, heheh.

Thanks for the reply. Anyone have any experience with the Toyo AT?

I've never owned a set of Toyo's but I've heard many good things about that tire...my next set of tires will be 38's Toyo's M/T's...

Thanks. I had a set on my last truck, but for the life of me I can't remember what style they were. I think they were ATs. They were pretty decent, but I only got about 30K miles out of them. I almost never rotated though.

a good priced MT tire is the Kumho Road Venture MT's, I think they're about $114 a tire for a 285/75/16

Looking for ATs. Need good highway wear since I really am not an offroad guy.

Have you looked at the BFGoodrich AT's?

Pointerman · January 27, 2005

Yes, don't mean to come off as rude, but my OP states that the other two tires I am asking about are $100 less for the set. I'm not completely cheap, but if I can save $100 on tires I can spend that money on something far more cool.

Don't forget to look at Coopers.....

I have the Big-O Bigfoot AT's (265's Load Range E) and am really happy with them. They've done better than my BFG AT's did in the rain and snow, and feel very solid during highway driving. I only have about 7K miles on them, but if they last long, I would definitely buy them again.
