something wrong with BFG AT KO's?

I ordered a set of BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO 31x10.50x15's last week. They were supposed to be here today, but my tire guy said the company he gets the tires from said there is a problem with them and he cannot get them/they will not sell them. I got a full refund and was offered a discount on any other tire I choose, but I really like the BFG name and the tread design looks good. Anybody heard anything about this?

I was also told that the sidewalls on BFG All Terrains are too soft for my heavy Explorer. He said that I might not get more than 25,000 miles on a set. Anybody had these tires longer than that?



(Moderator, if this should have went in the tires and wheels forum, I don't mind you moving it or double posting it there too. I wasn't sure.)

tires

I ordered them at 8:00 am and had them at noon. As for the tires I have had the pre and post forms. I will say that the post are much quieter than pre. I have 35"X12.50" Next to sex I like my explorer best!

tire guy is an Idiot

Your ture guy is a head. I had a 1990 gmc heavy duty 4x4 with a lift and 33 inch all-terrains...got well over 50,000 miles on them at the time and they still had ok tread! keep in mind this thing was beat-on....trails, work sites....im a stone mason....so these tires did a lot of work-site(rough!) treading and never did i see a tear in a side wall. I had tried many other off-road ties proir and always saw an occasional sidewall tear. This is a f@#&in awesome tire. period. NOW OWN AN EXPLORER...my gmc was a constant problem...looked great but never ran well. live n learn

Oh yeah!

I have had my BFG A/T KO 31x10.50's for a couple of weeks now! The cheap tire guy was just ignorant I guess, but my REAL tire guy got me the tires no problem. Problem solved. So I guess there's no point in any more posts on this thread. Thanks for everyone's input!

I have had my BFG A/T KO's for a little over 15000 miles now and the tread is still in great shape. I found them a NTB for around $550 (it was a wile ago, i don't remember the price exactly). Anyway, I highly recommend them.
