Exclamation BFGoodwrench vs. Goodyear?? HELP!

I have to make a certain decision on which tires that I want to get for my truck. The two that I have in mind are either 295/75/16 BFGoodwrench All Terain Tires or 33x12.50R16.5 Goodyear All Terain Tires. Please reply with which you think is BETTER.

To see the BFGoodwrenchs go here: http://www.4wheelparts.com/product2....s=BFGO&cat=TIR

To see the Goodyears go here: http://www.4wheelparts.com/product2....s=GOOD&cat=TIR

THANKS.

GY's suck! don't get them, you will be dissapointed. They are horrible in the rain and aren't too much better dry. Plus, if you do any off-roading, the BFG's will be WAY better!

He's probably going to get tires and wheels. Anyway i think the BFG or PC are going to be better than the Goodyear. I just looked at your GY AT you picked out, i didn't even know they made those anymore.

I tried the Goodyear's and was not happy. I had problems getting flats. I now have BFG's and love them.

BF GoodRICH tires half worn out are way better than brand new G/Y's. It amazes me that GoodYear stays in business. I don't know about their car tires, but I know from experience that their truck tires are the crappiest tires on the road. Terrible dry traction and downright DANGEROUS wet traction.

I've had Goodyear's on my Grand Prix. I had Goodyear's on my Dodge Da-Coatie. Didn't matter. They sucked. Horrible wet traction. Great looking tire tho'. Didn't last worth a damn(either vehicle), but I looked cool. The G/P got shod with Pirelli's after that. The Da-Coatie got Uniroyals (I liked the quiet, car-like ride). I'll never buy Goodyear's again. Ever. And when it's time for my SCrew to be re-shod for the first time, it'll be Pirellis and slightly wider/bigger dia rims.

I have to agree. I have 235/55/16 Goodyear NASCAR tires on my Grand Prix and I like them alot. As far as truck tires, I have the BFG AT on my super duty and they are OK, but when I replace this set It'll be the Goodyear wrangler MT/R.

GY MT/R are awesome, yes, but that's not the kind of tire he was looking at, he wanted an all-terrain, and the BFG AT's kick GY's sorry @ss all over the place. That's why I was suggesting the BFG's. Now, as for Mud tires, no question, the GY's are better hands down.

When someone asks for advice on an All terrain, don't give advice on a Mud terrain. Mud Terrains will not last as long and will be louder than a AT. I see this all the time and its not helpful at all.
