any one run these?

is any one running the continental sportiva AT's? i saw them on a rig and it had similar tread to the bfg at ko's i had. they were a lot cheaper, i was wondering what kind of tread wear and handeling they had compared to the bfg's and if they were a good tire, or if im better off getting the bfg's again, im getting a 285 75 16.

sorry I don't have an answer for you, but I do have a question. I'm considering buying the bfg at ko 285/75/16's like you had. I wanted to put them on my 2wd 2003 with a 2" spindle lift. Do you know if they will rub? Did you like the tires?

tires

i dont know if they will rub, but i did like the tires, i did a lot of work in construction sites and they did great, its an aggressive tread so if you dont want premature tread wear, you have to rotate them and have them balanced more so than a reg tire. i didnt get to see the total tread wear because the truck got wrecked b4 they were worn out. but, it is an off road style tire so on the highway it acted like one, but it was a lot better than other off road tires i have used, take a look at the bridgestone dueler revos, they are a great tire that my dad ran on a chevy for a long time, they handled much better on road than the bfg and quite well off road. the downside to them is that they are pricy, they are both great tires tho, hope i could help

thanks. my brother runs the duelers and I just dont like the look as much as the bfg's. maybe the handling difference will change my mind.

You could also try the Bridgestone Dueler APT III's. Mild aggressive tread, little highway noise, 60,000 mile tread life. I have a couple of pics in my gallery.
