BF Goodrich AT mileage- what did you get?
I would like to hear from thoes of you who have used BFG All-terrains, and what kind of mileage you got out of them... I need new tires on my F350 dually, and like the BFG, but hate to spend so much on a tire if it's not gonna last a while... how do they work with a heavy truck like mine, running 10K lbs most of the time? Any sugjestions on other tires, with simular tread, with good wear/ride?
Also, can I go any bigger on tires size with a dually, if not, what spacer would be needed in the rear for what size larger tire? My understanding is that the 235/85/16 is the largest possible with out sidewall rub... |

I had em on my half ton chevy got 50k out of them. on my old 3/4 ton I had 10k on them when i traded the truck on and they looked like new. Great tires in my opinion

i had them on my 97 Z71, bought them new and i got 70K plus out of them, then bought more before i sold it and bought my current rig...i highly recommend them!

I had some 285/75/16's on my 01 z-71 and got 65k out of them. But I drive slow, don't corner fast and always coast well before stop lights - so I'm not hard on tires.

wear is a concern for me... I drive twisty country roads daily, it's 30 mile round trip to work each day, and I ate steer tires like crazy on my K-30 I've been drivin for the past few years, but I also drive like a bat outta he77, hard in corners, etc... maybe if I just slow down a little, I'll save tires!
What about over size on a dually? I need to be able to reliably work the truck, but how do bigger tires affect a dually, if you need to use spacers to go bigger? |

well i hav had my fair share of tires. the BF GoodRich AT 235/85 16 KO are the ones i got the reason why is they have a tripple side wall. you need that if yuo tow otherwise it feels like you are rideing around on marbles. i have gotten 55,000 on the rear duals but the front maby half that got them for $135 each

i had 285s on my truck before the lifted and i HATED THEM if you are going threw anything a little wet you are in trouble sand was ok but not good and they would chop chop chop if you dont keep them rotated every like 5000 miles

I'll never own another set of them. I balanced and rotated them evry 8-10K. could not keep them from wearing horribly. I try to treat my tires pretty well, and I normally get between 75-90K out of a Well Made set of tires. I think I got 50K out of the BFG A/T's before they were absolutly undrivable.
I've always had good luck with Michelins
