Ok, I was down to about 6/32" on my Revos while expecting a major rain storm coming to Northern California and looking at the approaching winter season coming around the corner. I went through the usual internal debate regarding new shoes...Revos AT/2, Yoko At/2, Hankook AT-RF10, Michelin AT/2...

BFG are very good tires, but... they lack good water evacuation. They last forever, but start growling after 50k mikes and wet traction degrades even more. If I lived in dry weather and lost of desert, BFG. But in the wet, I prefer Revos. I had the LT C 265/70/17 on the BFG, and yes, it did...

Good choice. I have been very pleased with my Revos. Wet traction has been outstanding during some ferocious rainstorms on freeway driving. Have not had much chance to play in the snow. Road noise is minimum, especially when compared to my BFG KO AT at 57,000 miles on them. With half the tread...

I is in Auburn, Alaskman. Got a thin light dusting this morning. Got slushier as you get past Colfax. But just 2-3 inches down in 2,500 feet.

We might be in for a good blow this weekend. Well, Alaskaman, you're right down the road from me as I am in the foothills. We just might get a good blow of snow this weekend to try out the Revos, Destinations and ATRs. Any of the above three would be a good tire to get us going and get us there.

I like the Revos. Drove to Seattle a few weeks ago and ran them through days and days of rains and squalls over freeways and winding mountian passes, across Crater Lake, Tillamook 9missing a big winter surge by hours that knocked out power and 90 mph gusts and 30 foot seas) , Astoria, the...

sounds like balancing issue. get it done elsewhere. I have never had any problems with America's Tire doing it right.

Not quite so fast. Why not compare recalls to the US auto industry? The Big 3 would have down th tube a long time ago if we look at recalls. Why not compare recalls to good old food industry and tainted spinach, tainted beef, etc. China makes a hugh amount of goods--Walmart would not exist...

Japan used to be synonomous with crap. For the past 20 years Japan is now synonomous with quality and well made products. Korea may have had their Daewoo, but let's not bring up the AMERICAN MADE Corvair, Pinto, Edsel, Firestone, etc. Korea has evolved through their cheap crap phase and now...

I did check out the AT-2 They are much more aggressive than the pictures show. Those biting notches are pretty gnarly, but the shoulders are pretty close together. The Scorpions ATR also have pretty tight grooves with narrow slots to flush out water and slush. America's Tire had 2 AT-2 in...

Ok, I finally got rid of the BFG KOs after 57k miles. They still had lots of rubber on them but they definitely suffered traction loss in the wet roads. Driving over shallow puddles at 35-40 mph would cause the tire to pull and squirm, not good. If I were going into spring nad summer, I would...

Tires and the Mojave Road. Four Wheeler magazine recently did a multi-issue article on traveling down the Mohave Road. Some of the vehicles in the pictures used BFG A/Ts without any problems. I had always wanted to travel down the trails and actually did a few miles. You need to go with a group...

Oh what a wet dream! And with that new 5.7 V8, it is da bomb! The only bad thiing is the ever increasing size of the tires that make it impossible to get true A/T tires for it. Can you imagine how much more effective it could be with some BFG A/T KO or Toyo MTs? Awesome.

given your choice, I'd take BFG ove Fortrera Trip Treds. BFG is much better in most conditions; rocky, gravelly, dirt, snow, slush, and slop. Trip Tred is suppsedly to be better in road/snow/rain. The main difference is BFG has better traction in all conditions with fewer negatives while...

I stand corrected. One unhappy camper. I meant to say one unhappy camper and one happy camper for two posts.
