Mick, for what's it's worth, I've had very good experiences with all the BFG's I've bought over the years...both are good tires

I have had both...I would use Pro Comps AT's, much better and way less $$$ buy 3 get 4 ;D when on sale at 4 wheel stealers

Hotwheels,

I've had really good luck with the Toyo Open Country A/T. Had them on my wife's explorer, and they were a really good tire.

The Goodyear GSA's I had on my F-150 sucked. I rotated them regularly and still only got about 37K out of them. The BFG AT KO's I had went 57K.

GSAs with wear very quickly and were aptly nicknamed Get Stuck Anywheres.
Go with BFG.

BFG AT/KO's on the bronco and the 150 s-crew. Still look like new on both. 20k on the truck, maybe 5k + on the bronco with some wheeling and a pretty tight clutch pack in the rear.

I have the Long Trails on my Expedition and I think they suck. They were horrible in the snow and ice and I've had the ABS kick in on wet pavement. Note I was driving EASIER at teh time than I do in the EB!

I've had good luck with the BFG ATs in the past.

Check out some of the online tire retailers- they have opinion polls.

For an "all-terrain" tire - Toyo M55's. Wear like iron and grip like a pissed off cat. Used them on the survey trucks in Alaska for the exploration crews and they would eventually rot off the wheels before they would wear out. Downside - $$$$$... about 200+ per tire and only come in limited 15" and 16" sizes.

I go BFG longtrail all the way. I'm a tech, and see a wide variation of tires on trucks withe their wear patternes. I strongly reccomend the BFG LT because their resistance to feathering/cupping. The set I have now has 40+ on them and still around 3MM of tread left not including the wear bars. Great tire, awesome for moderate towing. NEver once have I felt anyting of a shake. Rebalence them one time.

my experience

I use the AT's on my Bronco as it is intended as a hunt'n & fish'n rig. For my daily driver, a '98 F150, have had both AT's and currently Long Trails (that's the name of our border-border, state hiking trail.) The Long Trails offer a quieter ride and less rolling resistance. Have no complaints about their performance on ice and snow. I live on a rural, dirt road in very hilly country side. 20-inch snow falls are common, not to mention mud season. To date, would say the Long Trail's have even better life than the ATs that lasted 70k.
