Tires

[Rob1962]

About time to get some new rubber on the EB. Wondering what tires folks are running/like in the A/T type. Always ran Desert Duelers, but thought I'd see what everybody else thinks is the best. I don't offroad much at all anymore, and my EB is very noisy with the Desert Deulers. Maybe a softer and quieter ride is what I need in my advancing years.

Thanks for your opinions.

I run Goodyear dura trac's on my daily drivers handle good off road and great in snow or ice. I have been getting pretty decent wear out of them as well have them on my F150 and Explorer.

I like the Michelin LTX AT2. Have these on my F350 in a 20" and had them on a 69 Bronco in a 17".

Great tread wear, quiet and the LTX is a pretty tough tire as well.

Local Tire Kingdom always has the best prices for me.

I ran Dunlop Radial Rovers (not the Radial Mud Rovers..have one set of those and don't like them) as DD tires on an EB and on a '78 Bronco for many years and many miles. Excellent wear characteristics.

I prefer good old bfg all terrains. Good performance on the road without much noise or vibration and plenty durable when you need it.

BFG AT's.

Quiet, very good in the rain, and I have personally put 69,000 miles on a set of them.
Infact here is a photo of said tread. I kept one of the tires.

Thanks... I'm really not sure what I want to go with this time around. My Deuler M/T's are so damned loud and make for a hard ride. I haven't seen the Dunlops Bill, will have to take a look. I was looking online last night and did see the Deuler A/T's, thought they might be a good option. Will have to take a look at the BFG's too.

Rob there was a great tire round up from one of the 4x4 magazines a year or two ago. I can't find the link but you might want to try to hunt that down. They rated each one on snow, ice, mud, street. Was a really good article.

X2. I have them on my 84 Bronco and like them better than the BFG ATs on my 69 half cab.

How noisy are the Goodyear tires? They look like they might have some meat to em that would make the road noise, and I'm wanting to cut down on that from the Deuler M/T. Also looked it up on the tirerack site, Goodyear is damned proud of these tires eh? $300+ per... OUCH!

X3

I am running them in 33x12.5x15. Great tire. Slightly more aggressive tread than my old BFG ATs.

I find them to be as quiet or quieter than the BFG ATs I was running before.

33x12.5x15 are $186 each plus a $60 rebate with purchase of 4.

I've been putting BFg a/t's on the family xj for ten years. Great on the road and on mild trails, good in snow, not particularly great on ice. They last a long time too. In ten years I've only put two sets on.

X2. Excellent tires...so good as soon as the Goodyear Wranglers that came on my truck from the factory wear out they'll be replaced with the Michelin LTX
AT2s.

Same great experience.
Been running BFG A/T's or M/T's since about '85.....
Just can't say enough about them. They do everything well.
I have had some great heavy rain experiences on them as well.
Ran Mickey Thompson's MTZ, Goodyear's MTR, Dick Cepek's FC, etc....and they all fill their niche's well but the BFG A/T's seems to do it all well especially it's road manners.

A/T BFG's for me, love them and the road manners.
