Longest lasting onroad A/T tire

I got 66K on my BFG's before I changed tire sizes. They still have plenty of tread on them.

FMExplorer,

How do you like your Pro-Comp X-Terrains?

Off road?

On road?

Thanks.
 






Michelin LTX A/T! They lasted me 83,000 miles! They have an aggressive tread like the BFG too.
 






Don't forget about Cooper tires. The Discoverer A/T come with a 50k tread warranty and have excellent traction, wet,snow,mud, and dry. They are not loud and are MUCH cheaper than the big names. I'm pretty sure they make tires for other names also.
 






i voted for other, since bridgestone Dueler A/T isn't in there, i only have 10,000 miles on them, they show no treadwear, there good in the sand and there good road tires.:bounce:
 






I'm with 91'explorer 2wd, I voted other because I have the Dueler A/Ts and haven't seen any wear on them yet. I took my car into Firestone to have it serviced the other day and they even rotated my tires for free. I am very happy with them.
 






i got the bfg at ko's right after the tire scare.

i think they are excellent. they might be a tad noisey but i feel they offer the best of BOTH worlds.

they did great off road, i think they have a 3 ply sidewall or something like that, a very tough tire.

when i traded my '98 they had about 40k on them and looked like they would go at least 70k. i just had the standard 235-75-15's.

How come the Firestone Wilderness A/T is not a selection?:D j/k but I did get good life out of mine, and I liked them.
 






i would say a michelin LTX or a bfg at/ko. its all on how you drive though. I had some 31x12.50 thornbirds and went easy on them and got almost 60k on them, just being easy, keeping them rotated and balanced. a bfg will perform alot better than a ltx offroad but an LTX i think is a better street tire
 






im thinking that i will be lucky to 60k out of my 32" bfg at/ko now that i have the spool. which means next sping will be 33's:D
 






cosco tires 50k and counting

I have cosco at tires with 50k and counting.
If my radius arms would have lasted i'd say i would be able to get 70k or more. right now i think i'l still get 10k more out of them. Just what my tires a rated for 60k.
my next set of tires will be from cosco 33x10.5 or 33.12.5 after the new lift.

Defintely go with the BFG's. the mickey's wear out really fast. I had mine less than one year and the tread was about 80% wore down. I will never buy another set of smaller mickey's again. Once you go bigger say like 39's or so they are made by a totally different company. They also last a lot longer.
 






Hey Peter what size are those tires you have on that pic?

I just put on some Dunlop Radial Rover RV's and I love them. They ride really good and they will last a hell of a lot longer than the mickey's
