BFG A/T KO's in 3/4 & 1 TON applications?

[SLT556]

According to tirerack.com the BFG A/T's only have a 3 ply side wall, yet I see so many HD's and SuperDuty's wearing them. Is there something I'm missing? Does BFG offer a load range E A/T tire?

Look into the BFG Commercial T/A. I bought a set for my 99 dually - 10 ply. They have a similar tread to the All Terrain T/A's.

I noticed your other post where you mentioned that. You wouldn't happen to know if they com in 265's, would you?

[GMC Driver]

Couldn't tell you. I'm not sure how many sizes they are available in, but I would consider putting them on one of the SRW if they are available as a 265 or 285.

Just put a set of BFG 265/75R-16, load range "E", "Commercials" on my Dmax. Bought em at Sams Club. Speedo is a little off but no big deal.

I just took off a set of BFG KO's from my truck. Rated as a "D" tire, but had a 3300 lbs tire rating at 65psi. Thats much better then the OE tires at 3050lbs at 80 psi. I substited them for some Michelin LTX M-S. Best decision I have ever made for tires....

Have you had a chance to try out the LTX M/S while plowing? (I'm guessing the lake effect has been there too this week.) I'm curious because thay seem like a nice riding tire, but not as aggressive as the LTX A/T. I've had those - they were great, but can't get them any bigger than a 265, and with 30% left are a b*tch on anything wet.

Interesting...I swapped the LTX M&S tires off my new Dodge for BFG ATs. The BFG AT KO is rated as a full blown snow tire. I have always found them to be excellent in the snow. I might not get as many miles out of the BFG but I sure like the traction.

I am also pretty sure that you are confusing tread plies with sidewall plies. The E's are 10 ply, D's are 8 ply and the 3ply sidewall of the BFG is one of the toughest out there.

For those of you that have use both A/T's and Commericals, how do the two compare in term of handling and traction?

[GMC Driver]

The set of BFG Commercial ATs that I bought in August are load range E, 10 ply. They have proven to be exceptional in terms of traction. Handling seems to be on par, but is a little harder to tell as these are mounted on a dually. They do ride a little stiff compared to the last tire on there, which was a load range D. They now have about 10K miles on them, with minimal wear.

As for the BFG All-Terrain T/A, the set I had were great for traction and handling, but seemed to be a softer compound. I got about 35K miles on a set of 285/75/16s.

The M/S Michelins seem to grip as well if not better then the BFG's did for me, First snow of the season I plowed for 3 hours in 2wd, never did that with the BFG's..
