TJ & BFGoodrich Talk Trail-Terrain T/A | Tire Rack

[@slscamg]

I’m excited for this category of tire. I spend 90% of my time on the pavement but enjoy staying at cabins and getting to off the beaten path hiking trails. I don’t need massive traction but the added security against rock tears abs punctures with good on road manners is exactly what I’m looking for.

[@yardbird253]

Real world experience these tires perform exceptional for me! I switched from the BFGoodrich KO2 to the BFGoodrich Trail Terrain and these tires did nice in full blown wet weather Washington rain. I only do light duty off roading and these tires work both on road and off road real world experience.

[@markwangontario7573]

Glad to hear, I also had ko2 on my last truck, loved them except it hurts fuel economy, was looking for a middle ground and this might be it!

[@kenthoughtsdaily]

Good thing I saw this video and help me decide what tires should I put on my SUV. I think I'll go for Trail Terrain since I use my vehicle 80 percent on the road 20 percent off road. Thanks guys!

[@wkndwarrior4733]

I put them on my gx460. I was in the market right when these launched and they were exactly what I was looking for. I had the Bridgestone dueler AT on a previous car so I was comparing against those. I felt like these looked better

[@mattrox1221]

How are you liking them on your gx460? looking for a set for my 2011!

[@wkndwarrior4733]

@@mattrox1221 they've been great so far

@@wkndwarrior4733 how have they been in the rain? I live in Florida so that’s one of my big considerations

[@wkndwarrior4733]

@@UnloadedRex have not noticed any issues at all. I'm in Alabama. They are snow rated and have a lot of siping so they have good grip

[@DARKREALM1122]

I'm finally decided, these trail terrains will be going on my 2018 Silverado 1500

[@rockeye]

These replaced the stock Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my 4Runner. Really pleasant ride that tracks well and are really quiet. No complaints yet but only about 3k miles on them. Time will tell how they perform in the rain.

[@brandon6451]

Fuel mileage was a very big comparison I would've like to seen.

[@tirerack]

Thank you for your feedback! We're always looking for ways to create a better customer experience. We will share this with our tire testing team.

[@jacob_d_f]

Im looking at switching to these, I have a 2017 2-Door Jeep JK with BFG Mud Terrains. Thinking these would be a better fit for my activity level and where I do most of my driving. More of a weekend warrior and commuter Jeep build.

[@Jaredius]

I’m interested in something between a KO2 and a Trail Terrain. A 60/40 on/off road split would be ideal for me.

[@beaviccoon470]

I'd say something like the Toyo open country AT3 tyres as they're pretty decent at everything.

[@Suerte_Pepe]

Just bought these for my 2019 Passport Elite can’t wait!

[@MaintenanceMan00]

Perfect tires for my usage. The occasional dirt road or off road trail back in the woods. Getting them installed on 5/4/24 on my 2016 Ram 1500

[@HandyManMike]

How are the Trail Terrains holding up? Any negatives? I need a new tire for my 2017 Ram.

[@MaintenanceMan00]

@@HandyManMike I ended up getting a different tire. My truck calls for LT tires and these weren’t available. I got a Mastercraft courser trail HD. Have been an excellent tire.

[@HandyManMike]

@@MaintenanceMan00 Thanks man

[@midnightgamingmysticnightmare]

The problem of the KO2 is the fact that it used to be the BFG all terrain T/A tire. It soared in popularity when it came out because of it's amazing performance, wear quality and price. However BFG decided they were made of gold and got greedy. They changed the name then increased the price by a ridiculous amount to where most average people can't afford it anymore for regular use. I used to run the BFG all terrain T/A on all my vehicles but the price is so high now with the KO2 I can't afford to pay the greedy price of BFG anymore. The all terrain T/A used to be only about $800.00 but with the new KO2 $1200.00 price tag it's just ridiculous.

[@richardbartlett6701]

It's literally the All-Terrain KO2, soooo...

[@midnightgamingmysticnightmare]

@@richardbartlett6701 Actually it's literally the BFG All Terrain T/A not KO2. They simply changed the name and raised the price. Which I mentioned in my comment, soooooo......? You got a point here?

road noise is the most important thing to me,

[@dankelly2484]

Trail terrain with the aggressive sidewall of the Ko2 please 🙏

[@kfat2290]

I'm excited to see more from this new line up. I have AT's on my truck now and I feel that they're just barely overkill since most of the time, I'm on pavement. It'll be a toss up. But In all honesty, if the KO2 was made in the upper echelon of 17's as a P-Metric and not only an LT, it wouldn't even be a contest. But considering that it's just too bulky of a tire for my truck as an LT, I'm not even considering it. But this is a refreshing sight to know I have something I'll be on the market for since I am a BFG fan. I'm excited to see long term results as well.

[@mahdavimail]

Don't be too excited TT has very limited sizes hopefully you can find your size...

[@pagodad8079]

Yeah and the new ko3 is heavy af as well

[@thegreatempire3882]

So.. how does the trail terrain compare to the Cooper AT3 4S or even a highway tire? I seen your review of these tires and idk why someone would buy these if these tires are terrible on wet surfaces.

[@Jacob99174]

He’s still thinking about this one Little more patience 😂

[@Wheel-1]

I purchased a set of 235 75 15. What is a happy medium tire pressure i should I run in them? It says Max 50lb

[@KStewart-th4sk]

You should be using the tire pressure figure your vehicle recommends.

[@johnroden3431]

Ordered these in January and still waiting on them to be made by BF Goodrich, did they mention how long of a wait these will be until they are available?

[@alexbennett9517]

What size did you order?

[@johnroden3431]

255/55r20 for a Chevy Traverse redline. I have up on them and went with something else.

[@gordonramsey8866]

What about fuel economy

[@mikeogden5256]

Michelin LTX M/S 2 is direct competition?

[@buganvilstudio]

No, falken wildpeak trail maybe. Those Michelin are even less aggressive. (More for highway etc).

[@69sound81]

I bought a pair of them just to try them and I ended up getting the full set for a fwd minivan. They are great. Maybe not the tire for the minivan, but I can get a wheelset and transfer them to a light dutty pickup I have. I also intend to get them for a brand new Mazda CX50 along with a wheelset because in Mexico it is unacceptable to have a 235/45r20, specially for an adventure oriented awd crossover/suv. The only thing I would say against them is that they are not the best for heavy rain. The rubber is great, but they dont evacuate watter as well as the rest of the tires from BFG. Just one thing, please consider the fact thar many medium dutty and heavy dutty vehicles spend 80% to 90% of their time on pavement and the most offroad they see is a logging trail, a construction jobsite, a dirt road that leads to a ranch or similar. If you guys make them on LT ratings, you will sell them as OEM and replacement tires for mid size pickups, full size pickups, almost any van, light dutty trailers, compact pickups, almost any SUV, almost any crossover and there will be a number of people that will even put them on a sedan. Well, they can even work on a Charger police to give it better capability on grass and dirt roads (if you make it on a size that will fit). This tire should be available in any size you can think of (except for compact sedan, that would be ridiculous).

[@henrydaniels8625]

He sure is on the way!!!

[@4RT0119]

For a tire made for crossovers, it’s pretty heavy, compared to other AT tires.

Trail terrain is the perfect tire, off road if needed, but lets get real, 98% of people never leave the pavement, this tire gives me the ability if needed and good for snow, but won't kill my MPG's for daily driving.

[@duncanpyke4777]

Terrible design when the shoulders are a solid rib without open channels to evacuate water/slush/mud etc. This design does not allow water to evacuate to. The sides which causes hydroplaning. Mud cannot be ejected either.

[@Nono-rh4lr]

Ya I will never buy a tire for my suv with closed shoulder tires. I’ve had the same experience. Maybe because my tire size is wider. If the shoulder tread is closed off I get hydroplane issues especially as the tire ages.

[@duncanpyke4777]

@@Nono-rh4lr couldn’t agree more! It should almost be an illegal design for that reason. The same goes for installing directional snow tires on backwards. I see this occasionally and wince. Instead of channeling water/slush/snow away from the centre, it is forcing everything into the centre. Huge safety issue that people don’t understand and greatly increases risk of hydroplaning.

[@ieism1]

There are plenty of rain tires with closed shoulder lugs, but I guess you know better than actual tire designers😂

[@duncanpyke4777]

@@ieism1 yup, guess I do👍🏻

[@ieism1]

Do you have these tires? They have a much more rounded footprint, so i feel like they ride mostly on the middle lugs when not aired down. On my truck they are the same as a KO2 in the rain, but much more solid on snow and ice.

[@bigpapi9223]

These tires suck according to tire rack testing. What a shame, they look great.

[@colesisler582]

All of the tires in this class are very good tires… it just may be lacking in comparison to the others in some categories. I personally like the tread pattern and the aesthetic of the sidewall design of the KO2s so for me I’d sacrifice 10 feet of stopping distance. These tires are still going to do better on the highway in wet or dry conditions than a KO2 would.

[@jefferylorance7988]

Do not buy these trail-terrains..if doing any off roading.. I live on a coffee farm-Hawaii on a hill side, need 4x4 just to go home..a little wet and these tires have very little grib..Jeep Compass Trailhawk.. I also own. Tacoma and tundra with BFG A/T’s..10 times better then the trail -terrains..I am very disappointed with the trail-terrain..for the street ..it’s OK..but not for off roading..
