97SE Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 (edited) Need new tires, currently have the BFG A/Ts and love them...45K miles and still going BUT in hearing all the hype about the Revo, I am open to a switch. The Revo is being offered at an incredible deal right now...buy 3 get 1 free + $75 rebate, so around $475 installed. The BFGs are running about $515 installed. What are your thoughts? And, do the Revos look as good as the BFGs intalled on a Pathy? TIA ~Stephen Edited September 27, 2005 by 97SE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveWA Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 (edited) I never liked my BFG AT's so I'd try anything else. I found the BFG wore out way to quick. But granted they weren't on a Pathy and were run on the very harsh Australian roads that are very rough on tires. Edit: I should mention that they really really really suck in the mud. But were ok on the beach. And I only got 22,000 miles out of them before they were fawked. But I was hard on them. They suck on rocks too.

Pezzy Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 (edited) Looks wise, they're pretty clean looking, I find the BFG AT K/O's look like a more aggressive tire.... but looks are not everything. My hubby has a set of the BFG's on his Xterra, and had no issues with them, but has however upgraded to Procomp Xterrains for hitting the trails. I have the Revos, and love them. Been wheeling with them since April, and have had no issues. I've wheeled with guys that have mudders on, and had no more difficulties than they have, and in fact in some places was able to get out easier, as the AT's don't dig holes like MT's can. I've been able to keep up, and even show up that Xterra on Xterrains... I was considering a set of MT's for next year and keeping my revos for onroad & winter, but after the last weekend of wheeling have decided until it becomes a case that I cant keep up with 'the big boys' the Revos are staying... I'd recommend the Revos, however I cannot give you a good comparison of the two, as I, personally, haven't wheeled with the BFG's.

SteveWA Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I should say it all depends on the type of driving you do and the % and type of offroad driving you do. If you like the BFG's and had a good run from them and like them then by all means buy another set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dank Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I've had the REVO's for almost 2 years. No complaints, never have let me down. And IMO, I think the REVO tread looks more agressive than the BFG AF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowOSU Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Love my BFG ATs. Tread life has been great, only gotten realllyyyy stuck once... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelmanLS1 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 (edited) I have the All-Terrain KO's and think I would of rather had Duelers. What kind of mileage are you guys getting off your BFG All-Terrains? Because mine are wearing out fast as all get out.

RowOSU Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I've got 20K+ on mine and they still look real good. Rotated every 10K I believe. not that often... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know one day you'll break down and start wheeling with the MM crew. Better start saving for those MTs sssh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97SE Posted September 29, 2005 Author Share Posted September 29, 2005 well, I went with the BFGs again. Turns out, the REVO deal was good but not as good as I originally thought. Firestone slipped in the "madatory" road hazard package for +$80. So true savings were cut from ~$240 to ~$160. And the BFGs were on a great special everywhere so I'm happy.

I need to start saving for spare alternators with you guys... Well if I do ever decide to get MT's, I know what I'll be gettin! But right now my Revos have kicked butt!

Dowser Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 My BFG MT's are Bald.... Balder then Patrick Stewart. And they still preform Decent. Mind you I Finally Got stuck about a week ago so they let me down. pssd No it wasn't my fault because when Im driving all the booms, smacks and screechs you hear are simply just the pathy and parts fault for being weak and pathetic . Now that the tires have let me down I dont think I can look at them the same anymore. It's like when I see a puddle now I hesitate, Get out of the vehicle and look at the MT's. I say to them, "Your OLD, and you let me down. Your WORTHLESS and you know it don't you. I bet that Puddle there is scaring the hell out of you isn't it! ISN'T IT! I can't count on you anymore" Then I shake my head in disgrace and turn my rig around and go home crying the whole way. Personally, I'm saving my bus fair for the All Dominating, Mud Hole Slaughtering, Rock Crawling Menace, The Mickey Thompson Baja Claw Radials!!!Mwuhahaha! FEAR ME MUD HOLE!!! FEAR ME!!! :furious: Dowser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardwaretoad Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I had BFG AT's ~ worthless in any mud at all. But then again, that's probably why they make an MT... I prefer my Yoko Geolander AT II's ~ to each their own,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FEAR ME!!! In all honesty I haven't been exactly impressed by them. They're an OK mud tire, but it's not something that is exceptional. I've seen much better.

Precise1 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Well, considered that they are called Baja Claw, that would imply that they are for sand and rock. I've driven the length of Baja twice and I got news for you, there isn't much mud !!! Lets face it, no one tire is good at everything... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelmanLS1 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Yeah there is, it's called an All-Terrain. An All-Terrain balances all types of offroad terrain as well as the road. An All-Terrain is good at everything, but good is as far as it goes. What I think you're aiming at is that no tire is exceptional at everything.

Precise1 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Yes, you are correct... No tire is exceptional in all weather/road (or lack of) conditions including (but not limited to) terrain, debris, detritus, mud, rain, ice, sleet, snow, slush, tile grout, paint, anti-freeze, semi retreads, sticks, stones (gravel, rocks, boulders, etc are generalized under the moniker 'stones'), pine cones (and needles), any other damn cones (including man made), needles in general, fig leaves, leaves not of fig trees, sheetrock, mattresses, 2x4's, shoes, nails, dogs (dead or alive), squirrel entrails or possum tails, (insert your favorite marsupial here), etc. Nor will you find a tire that is exceptional, extraordinary, first-class, first-rate, grind, high, job, marvelous, outstanding, phenomenal, premium, primo, prodigious, remarkable, singular, skull, special, splash, superior, wizard, wonderful, world class, avant-garde, breakthrough, cutting edge, excellent, extreme, far out, first, foremost, forward, higher, leading, radical, finer, fitter, greater, higher quality, more appropriate, more desirable, more fitting, more select, more suitable, more useful, more valuable, preferable, preferred, prominent, sharpened, souped up, superior, surpassing, worthier or 'the bomb' at everything. Does that about cover it ??? That said, I have heard a lot of complaints that the BFG ATs pack with mud easy and don't clear well. Thats also what I have on my Pathy and will have to decide in 15-20k miles what to run next. Maybe the same... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMike Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 ive got some Deulers that i paid 180 for total from a friend of a friend. there was nothing wrong with them and they looked brand new. i havent had a chance to wheel them hard, but they are pretty nice, and handle really well on the road dry or wet. the only prob was that i had to switch down to 15s from 17 rims.
