BFG all terrain t/a VS Nitto Terra Graoplers?

Which tire and why please!!

BFG All Terrains get my vote. Just mounted 285/55R20's on my OE wheels. I've owned many sets of these over the years on both my F150's and F350's, and have always been happy with them. Even though they are an "old" technology tire, they are still excellent in my opinion. Road noise isn't too bad, and they wear fairly even (if rotated regularly). I picked these most recently because they are one of only a few snow flake rated AT tires on the market in a 20" size. The snow flake is a requirement in parts of Canada during winter months. Both tires are a good choice, just depends on your needs. Just my .02.

My biased opinion is BFG. It has a more rugged looking sidewall. I have a friend who has ran both and he got rid of the Nitto's after 15k miles and went back to BFG. He said the BFG's wear better, look better and have a better driving feel.

I strongly disagree. I have had both. My old 275 BFGs hydroplaned worse than my current 305 Nittos and that means something considering it is more than an inch wider. I will never go back to a BFG AT until they improve the design to work better in water. Even in Mud, the Nittos are much better.

Now, the BFG is a solid tire, but I didn't feel safe with them on any of the 4 vehicles I have had them on. All you have to do is look at the tread pattern and you will see there is nowhere for the water to go. Start in the center of the tread and find the way out. Does it make sense? No.

You will hear many ppl argue that they have had them and never had any hydroplaning issues, but I encourage you to go to a website that reviews it in detail, and you will see that at least half will agree with what I have just said about the hydroplaning.

I had BFG s on my had diesel and they worked great but were gone in less then 20k miles with regular rotations. My father had terra grapplers and his lasted twice as long on the same kind of truck.

BFG for me. Installed 275/65/20 T/A K/O's about a month or so ago and love em. A lot quitter than I thought they'd be with their aggressive look and many of rain days on em too and not one issue.

I vote terra. They are cheaper and get the job done and look good. I will say 2 weeks ago I was driving in some real bad rain and past 2 cars that ran off the road and were into the guard rails. Both appeared to of hydroplaned. I never once hydroplaned and kept it at 75 the whole time

Hey guys… I’m new here, so my opinion may not be valued as much as others, but I have also had both of these tires.


I would recommend the BFGs over the Nittos (if we are only considering these 2 tires). I never really had a hydroplane issue with the BFGs, or the Nittos. I did, however, have a ton of spinning and slipping with the Nittos on wet pavement. I also believe the Nittos wore down a lot faster than they probably should have. I will not purchase Nittos again. I think they look very nice though.
