Default Re: Toyo AT's vs BFG AT's

We run both Toyo OC AT's and BFG AT/KOs in a farming and work environment. Had the OP asked the question a year ago I would have said Toyos. Subsequent in the field experience has yielded the AT/KO's the winner. And I am a real Toyo proponent. Love their tires and manufacturing process. It's just that the Toyo ATs don't last long at all for us. We're lucky to get past 30K miles. On the other hand the BFGs give us twice the mileage and are much quieter (which I was stunned about with their agressive-looking tread). I do agree with the posting stating that the BFG AT/KOs tend to fling small rocks a gravel more than the Toyos and I do notice this since I am off-road much of the day.

Vehicles both types tested on:

2007 Tundra DCLB 5.7L 4x4
2005 Ford Superduty Powerstrokes (two trucks, 4x4)
1996 Chevy Silverado 1500
2008 Chevy Silverado 1500 (Toyos only so far but ready for TA/KOs)
2003 Chevy Silverado 2500
