monstaru Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 alot of folks use the general grabber.i really liked every set of BFG allterrains i have had.i have gone some crazy places on them. that being said, get what you can or want to afford. me,i'd go BFG, and will again given the need for an all terrain. cheers, b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarutex Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I 2nd the BFG AT's. Love my set on the wagon. A lot better road handling than swampers. General Grabbers LOOK a lot like the BFG AT's, and probably perform similarly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I love the Firestone Destination A/Ts. I've got them on my '72 Chevy, and I had them on my '96 Yukon. I haven't put enough miles on my '72 yet to comment on wear on the Destinations, but I've had 2 sets of the BFG's that seemed to wear prematurely... but that was probably driver induced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcap Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I'll put in for the Coopers. They lasted really well on my K20 Chevy and a friend's Cherokee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redcap Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 did you wheel them at all?cheers, b They bite and clean out pretty well, although we had some troubles when the red clay got real nasty. I like them and would probably buy another set if I were in the market for A/Ts for the truck (couldn't say no to free 35x12.50xR15 MTs though!).

Redcap Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 which Cooper Model? Discoverer S/T, which is pictured in your first post. But, to be honest, I've always had good luck with Cooper rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatswhatshesaid Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 +1 on the BFG ATs. They're build to take abuse and last forever. Very burly for an AT. I've seen them last 50k miles on a Toyota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbchux Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I think he means nokian.... A friend had some Kumho Road Venture A/Ts on his jeep a few years ago. I was very impressed with them for an all-terrain. I had planned on going with the M/T version on my 4runner until I found a deal on some used Cooper STTs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 For a "do it all" tire in the PNW, you can't get better than sipped Cooper STT's. They're sold as a mud terrain, but they're more of an aggressive all terrain with really good road manners. They don't cake up in mud and self clean easily, do well in the rocks and gravel, they're not too loud on the road and they last a long time. When sipped, I'm surprised how well they do on compact snow and ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3eyedwagon Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 BFG A/Ts. If there's a better "do it all" tire, they haven't made it yet. There's a reason it says "Baja Champion" on the sidewall. They're tough, durable, and will float through just about anything you can put under them. I've been a Toyo user for quite awhile, but, the BFG A/T doesn't have much on the market that can compete. Especially at that price point. They drive down the road really well too. That's why I have a set on my Roadmaster. They worked great in the Arizona sand, and handled the interstate at 90+ without any more noise, or pulling than normal street tires. Oh yeah, that set is from Pull A Part too.... can't be beat.

gwilson87 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 The Yokohama geolander at/s I have on my OBS have been awesome. Ahd almost a year with bad camber and such and they have very little wear on them. Great winter traction (pulled a few people out of some snow banks this last winter) surprisingly quiet on the road, and good traction off the beaten path. I have gone on light duty offroading with mine and they have performed admirably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've run a lot of tires over the years and theres a lot of tires that compete with the BFG A/T and most beat it hands down. BFG puts Baja Champion on all their stuff and in my experience, the BFG A/T makes a great road tire in the PNW and thats it. BFG A/T are a good "do it all" tire down south like So Cal, but up here they cake up with any mud or wet soil and act like slicks. The Cooper STT has it beat in EVERY category except road ability. Cooper STT's have a stronger carcass and sidewalls and they also have side lugs which the BFG A/T doesn't...like a street tire. BFG A/T's are cheap for a reason, you get what you pay for.

ezapar Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 ^^^ I agree. The BFG A/Ts don't clean out the sticky mud very well at all. For summer time wheeling, they'll do great. I ran some on a pathfinder I had and really only liked them on the road. You try to take them thru the likes of a muddy Walker Valley and you'll be disappointed.

subimonster Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 i have known people with both tires on their vehicles ( BFG A/T and cooper STT) personally i think the cooper is not in any way an A/T tire but the do work well. and the only thing about tire cleaning is that you need a certain amount of wheel spin for the tire to clean, the mud wont just fall out of its own accord. i have BFG's on my ranger and they are super quiet on the road and handle very well and a friend had a set of cooper STT's on her wrangler unlimited and they were very loud and seemed to wander a bit. thats just my experience personally i dont have any experience with the cooper on my own vehicles. i would look into some goodyear wrangler mt/r's version 1 they will do the best for you on anything. Good luck finding a tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobyclimbs Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I love them in snow, sand, dirt, light mud, in gravel they handle like rally tire...! All these folks complaining about mud...that's why they have m/t tires just for that..! BFG's aren't cheap...alittle on the spendy side... I ran yokohama at+2 for years and the bfg beats them hands down..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstaru Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 eggzachary people.he asked for an AT tire.And FYI mud that comes from the depths of Baja is some of the sickest mud i have seen in my life.....( i have lived in gumbo mud , desert mud, and now PNW mud)just sayin.it aint a swamper, it is not a cooper sst, but it is a highly capable all around tire..... cheers, me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatswhatshesaid Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 it is a highly capable all around tire..... ^ this. very solid for an all-terrain. I'm pretty sure no matter where you ask, anyone who has run them will sing praises about them. They are, however, pretty spendy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatswhatshesaid Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 The STTs are not an A/T, I just got a set for my 4runner, and they're beefy. I'm told they ride better than most M/Ts (I haven't driven on them yet), but I still don't think I'd DD them. They do ride very well. Almost like an AT- because, well, they are almost an AT...
