Title: bf Goodrich all terrain or Goodyear wrangler duratrac?
Post by: buglebuster on February 17, 2016, 09:15:02 AM
Gonna put new tires on my tacoma, used to running toyo MTS but don't need that aggressive of a tire, plus the mileage sucks. What's everyone's experience I'm these brands? I'm going to run from a 31" to 33" tire.

Both are really good tires for what they are and very comparable performance.  I would go with the ones that I could get the best deal on.

I have 35" Duratracs on my 03' Yukon XL and I have 32" All Terrain on my 93' 4Runner.  I think for an all around performer and wear, I'd go with the All-Terrain.    I really like the Duratrac, the perform very well, but I think they wear a lot quicker do to their softer compound.  Just my experience though  :tup:

I put BF Goodrich KO2s on my truck last fall, and have been extremely happy with them.  I did take a 2mpg hit but that doesn't matter when you are clinging to a sidehill!

I ran the old BFG AT's on my Tundra and got over 60K out of them. I'm running the new BFG AT's and I really like them, haven't got to really thrash with them yet but no complaints. I almost went with the Duratracs but heard they were a bit soft for full size trucks, they were much better suited for Jeeps and such. don't know if that's true or not just going by what the reviews said.

BFG AT KOs are great tires!
Expensive, but every set I have owned went over 60 k miles, and performed very well.
I will not buy any Goodyear tires. Every set of Goodyear tires I have owned did horribly in rain. Hydro planing and tire spin in wet conditions was the norm.
I would buy Geolanders or Coopers if price of BFGs is too high.

Won't buy Goodyear tires ever again

Get whichever you like the look of best. I had the Duratrac on my Silverado, great tire that lasted 50k+ when rotated every 6 months. Just put the BFG AT KO2 on my 4Runner so far very happy with them in the snow. I really don't think either is a bad tire, so get whichever one looks best to you or you get the best price on.

I should say, I know it's more than just looks, but both are going to perform very well for what it sounds like you would most likely use them if you dont want an MT tire any longer. For the most part they are two very even tires, and if it really comes down to it, isn't the BFG KO series, really the original of the AT/MT type tires that the Duratrac and many others are now a day?

I put 70,000 miles on my duratract,( Toyota Tacoma) maybe a tad more. I drove the truck really hard and lots of miles on gravel rds. I'd go duratracts but have not used the other.

Check out the cooper st maxx as well... They are an aggressive all terrain similar to the duratracs and also a great looking tire. Also made in America :tup:

I had BFG AT on my Toyota and have the Duratrac on my F350. Either are fine on road and off. I thought the BFGs were a little quieter on the freeway.

Duratracs all day long......Have them on my small Toyota and F150 now and the best tire I have ever run.

Stick with TOYO and go with the TOYO R/T. I just switched from TOYO M/T last week on my Tacoma in a 33" tire. Tire rides so smooth compared to the M/T and is still pretty aggresive.

I put a set of 265/75/16 bfg ko2s on my first gen Tacoma last fall.
Snow and ice covered roads, great.
Deep mountain snow with single digits air pressure, even better.
Great on old logging roads.
Great in the sand, even better when pulling my boat off the beach.
They drive nice down the road. They hook up good on wet covered roads.

They look good with the new side walls.

I have a 13 4Runner and put the BFG KO2s (load range C) on it. Like them so far. In the rain they work great. I haven't got to take them up in the snow yet. Been in some mud that would have made the OME tires slip around and they didn't even spin a tire a bit. I did take a hit on MPG, but I think it was worth it. Went to Costco in Portland and got them for $214 a piece (no tax) plus the $70 off promotion that they had as that manufacturer owns BFG. Don't remember who, but Costco would tell you. So many good reviews on the BFGs and I was impressed with a set of there tires that I put on a Sienna so I decided to try the KO2s.

Got 92,000 miles on my last all terrains on my Dakota, so I went with them on my Toyo. Never a problem, and good gas mileage too

Thanks. When Costco has michelin tires for $70 off you get that on the BFGoodrich also.

My 2013 Taco came with BFG Rugged Tail T/A tires on it and I've owned it since new.  For a summer tire they're OK but they are the most useless tire for slick winter conditions I've ever had, probably doesn't help that these things are very light in the azzend, too.

I just clicked over 36K and I'd say those BFG's that came on it are a ways under half tread and 10-12K of that 36K total was with my winter tires, Michelin X-Ice which are outstanding winter tires, so probably only have around 24-26K on the orig. BFG Rugged Trail T/A.

I'm not sure how much longer I'll keep my 13 Taco so the orig tires may last me as long as I own it but if I ever need to put new tires on it, the only way I'd put the Rugged Trail T/A back on is if someone gave me a new set.  Not exactly sure what I'd replace them with but I know it won't be those.

I had BFG Mud Terrain KM2's on my Rubicon and they were great on everything except ice, not worth a sheet on Ice but that's not really their niche, either.  I think if those KM2's were siped from new they'd have been a lot better on ice.
