Great video and helped me out a bunch with my 3/4 ton! I've ran mud terrain for years and imo BFG's are the best tires in the world (mine lasted 90k miles 33" x 12.5" on 99' Tacoma 4x4 extended cab)

Thank you! I'm loving mine. 3rd set averaging 80k on them about ready for 4th set.

Good video, thorough. Tks :)

YOu sound like a TENNESSEE driver!! ( me too.. ) I think part of yours is the load and driving use... I'm going to be running mine on just my GX470 (about 6000 weight with metal bumpers, winch- and extras).. but normal street driving mostly-and not very aggressive. I'll most likely do a LITTLE offroad stuff-- just fire roads, or rougher dirt roads and of course winter.. but not much- so with what you got- mine should do fine. THANKS- appreciate the totally honest and factual review..

Thank you and thank you for your comment! I got 76k on the set in this video then hit a piece of concrete in the road and busted side wall on one. They had about 6/32nds on them so i bought second set. I put 79600 on those (was really hoping for 80k but they were at 4/32nds so i bought another set). They have 14383 miles and doing great. I think you'll be happy with yours. I plan on another set when these are worn out

I understand your hum open shoulder.... glad they worked out great for you. Do you rotate them yourself?

I do, every chance I get. Usually around 5k but no more than 10k. About ready for another set next week.

Good video. I feel the same on the noise. I just threw mine on. How you feel about the traction in the rain on the highway?

@CFarmer

Thank you! They did really good but after they wear down quite a bit they still had good traction but in heavy rain they would act like they wanted to hydroplane but i expected that as the tread wore thin

Sorry if I missed it but what air pressure do you run in them?

@CFarmer

65psi front 75 in rear. In winter when it's cold out 80 in rear has been working for me

@@CFarmer Thanks for the quick reply. I would have almost guessed you were running a good PSI by the great wear your getting. I have always been a fan of high air pressure in tires or to run close to what it says on the sidewall. A lot of people don't understand by running low pressure it creates heat and heat will cause premature wear. Thanks again.

That's it. I also think 65 in front and rotating every 5k changing the pressure up helps too

Are yours the DT or 3PMS version? Either way, that’s impressive mileage.

Well, I learned something today. When I bought them I was just looking for the E rating and m/s with the snowflake on them. I didn't know there were DT and 3PMS versions. I've looked at tires and receipt with no mention. Looks like I should have done more research. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. And catching the 32nds goof on my part, lol.

C Farmer I think the “DT” (different tread) version is only in certain sizes for trucks like ours with more weight/torque. They have a more wear resistant tread compound for longer life over the three-peak-mountain-snowflake rated version which has a compound that stays more pliable in the cold, but doesn’t have the tread life warranty. It should say on the sidewall. I like the idea of increased snow performance as long as they don’t take a crap in 35,000-45,000mi.

Do you feel your 2nd set has the same amount of road noise?

Thank you, i hope you like them as much as i do. I suggest keeping them rotated every chance you get. They have some say the first 10k miles or so but they're good after that. Thank you for your comment

Did you end up going with KO2’s again?

That's what my tire guy said. He thinks it because i rotate so often and changing air pressure when i rotate 65 in front 75-80 in rear depending on temp outside

You bought them with 15/32”, not 0.015”.
