BFG A/T or Pro Comp A/T

wpb2011 · 08-09-2008, 02:31 PM

I have had a set of BFG's in the past and had no problems with them, but I can get my hands on Pro Comp A/T's for a little bit more (about 100 more for the set). I drive about 90% highway and often go trail riding, don't need a m/t tire. Wondering what your opinions are about the Pro Comps on the terms of wear, load range, chipping, and traction compared to the BFG's.

Thanks

my only problem with the BFG's isnt with the A/T's but with belt issues i have encountered with other tires (radial long trail and a few car tires). had the belts break in 3 sets of tires on various vehicles, made them impossible to balance and unbearable to drive at highway speed. Had no issues with my A/T's. but wanted to know if they also suffered from these issues.

Thanks again

Me and my dad and our family business have been through about 18 sets of bfg of various sizes both mud and a/t over the years. Never had the first problem out these tires. I personally am now on my 5th set of the 37" mt. Love them dearly I havnt tried the new km2 yet so I still dont know what to think about them. I will miss the old km mud terrains.
