So whats the deal with those New

[Ford_Racing_Guy]

Continental Sportiva AT's that i heard about a while back,


they were suppose to be equal to or better then the BFG AT,

anybody here more about those or actually get a set of them?


i'm just curious

I was going to get a set. I was told $480 installed for four. Then a shop down the street had BFG AT KO's on sale for $107 each installed plus road hazard. The road hazard was extra on the sportivas. I got the BFGs because I am still in school and needed tires and the BFGs were cheaper. If the Sportivas were cheaper I would have gone with them.

i work in the tire industry and i have never seen the sportiva at... however, if its anything like any continenta/general truck tire, it sucks... the only thing that conti/general makes that i would put on my truck are the general grabber mud terrains

In case anyone still cares...

I saw these on my cousin's F250 4x4. He has about 50,000 kms on them, they have outlasted his other tires, last about 3 times as long. He uses his truck for hauling round bales on a trailer(25x2000lbs), most tires were lasting him about 15,000 kms. These still have about half tread left with 50k on them, and since they are full depth treads, they are basically good until bald, not like some treads that are useless after they are half worn down. He likes them. I will be getting a set next fall when I need new ones on my BII. And he said they were alot cheaper than other comparable tires, another strong point, espescially if they last as long as he said. If they lasted that long on his truck that works as hard as any truck could, should last a while on my light little Bronco II.

And they are a great looking tire too. I have had some bad experiences with Continental tires, had some touring tires on my Taurus, sucked. Other family members had the Contitrac(sp?) SUV tires, they sucked too. But these Sportivas appear to be great.
