Anyone try out the 20" BF Goodrich Rugged Terrain T/A tires yet? My tire guy is pushing these as a cross between the BFG’s Long Trail and the All Terrain TA KO. If that's true, it's exactly what I'm looking for.
They haven't been out long so there are not too many reviews yet.
Thanks

I Need:
occasional unimproved road driving w/o having to change Goodyear HP flats
(I've replaced three HPs in 28 months - 2 side wall and one right through the tread)
low noise
relatively comfortable ride
economically feasible (out the door price is $676.90 including 8.25% tax)

 

Curious why you don't just go with the TAKOs ? I think they wear better, and look way better that the rugged terrains. Jmho.

 

price
noise
and i didnt have muck luck with my a/tkos during the second half of their life on my last truck. they wandered all over the road.

 

I've heard some people have had issues with them, fair enough.

My other favorite tire is the TOYO open country tires. I only got about 60,000kms on them before I had to send the truck back to the dealer, and they accepted it back on the tires. They performed VERY well in the snow, and mild offroad conditions. Granted it was not a E rated tire, but descent... they were on my 1500. Very comfortable ride.

 

i love mine. i have little road noise. the tread pattern i think looks awesome and they grip real well. ive taken it out on some trails and havent had a problem, i couldnt pass up the promotion my tire guy gave me and honestly i think it was a good choice.

 

I'm using the bfg tako's and I'm loving these tires. I have about 8,000 miles on them now and no complaints.
