It handles well on wet and dry pavement
Was wondering how the bfg would behave on the road

those bfgs are great all rounders!! the biggest down side is that they wear very quickly IMO. but i guess it would depend on your driving

Currently a year and a half old, doing 30,000 kms, excellent in wet conditions, comfortable for an AT tyre, average off road and seem to wear very slowly which is good.

Look like it wearing really slow but that initial price!

Hey guys ... I have a questions....

Will a Set of BFG 33x12.5x15 work on a navara ?
If so will it void my warrant at NM??

We are upgrading the tires on another vehicle.....

i have 32'' equivalents on the OEM mags and i definately think i can go 33''s. The offset of your rim will have a lot to do with your options

Guys for all of you who like your Michelin tires.....the sale started yesterday.

buy one get the next tire 50% off or buy 3 tires and get 1 free.

Apparently there is no advertising outside the quickservice shops.

I opted for the LTX M/S2 and all four tires came up to $6500 which is about $1625 per tire

The original cost is $2200

All the Michelin Tires are basically the same price range. The all terrain will be the same price also.

the tires came up to about $1600 for 1 ...which isnt that bad...

They work excellent in wet and dry conditions. hardly any road noise and i have had no complaints

TREAD tRead... It have no sewing in this.. No threads at all...

Anyway, need I remind you that the Firestone is the top rated AT tyre on tirerack?
As in, higher rated than the aforementioned Michelin LTX AT2 which costs more even on sale...

Nankang AT, very aggressive all terrain
