BFG TA KO or Terra Grappler G2?
 
Im trying to decide which tire to get in 275x70x18, any suggestions?

BassAckwards 12-14-2014 12:54 AM

Meh... They are both good tires. That's why everyone and their mom has them. G2 has a warranty right now KO2 might have it later. G2 would be cheaper I would think off the top of my head.

I say G2 based on that alone. You won't be disappointed with either.

...or buy USA, Cooper AT3? Still cheaper than the BFG (which is what I used to always buy).

cooper is no longer an American owned company...

I'm getting the cooper st maxx in that same size. Seems like a pretty solid tire.

bill2014 12-14-2014 10:48 AM

I would go k02.

Ko2's have never let me down, on 2d set. Wear great, quiet/smooth ride. A litle more money but its worth it. Were at are you in Florida?

I have been running the Toyo Open Country in the same size they have a 60k mile warranty on them.
They cost right at a grand to have them put on the truck for the set

The Toyo OC MT does not carry a mileage warranty.

Most of their tires are still made in America, they are just owned by a different Chinese company. They got out of their Chengshen co-owned manufacturing plant, but only their cheaper off brand tires they make will still be produced there for a few more years.

Made in 'Merica

Just go for the BFG's, they're 80,000 mile tires... and they are so purdy... lol I won't get anything else... And the way I see it, I probably won't have to ever replace them because I probably won't have the truck long enough to wear them out. 80 k would take me like 6 years lol...

They definitely aren't 80k mile tires. Not even Michelin's MS2 has a warranty that high.

If they lasted that long they would have a mileage warranty. I would expect 50k miles out of the KO2 unless they come out with a mileage warranty that says differently. You are doing good to get over 50k on any AT.

Not talking warranty, just proven results... I put damn near 100k miles on my last set that I sold with the truck and still had some tread left... and there are tons of reviews of people out there that get even more than that...

powerranger262 12-23-2014 11:01 PM

100k? Pretty unheard of.

Bruski 12-25-2014 10:12 PM

I put 65k on this set, which included working on the rail road for a year in Texas driving on the rail beds. Saved one for a spare just in case, still has some

tread left.

I've seen them go a lot of miles, but I've never seen them go that far, and I replace 3-4 sets a day on average. I'd have to see some receipts with mileage to believe it, and even if so its not the norm for these tires. The average driver can't even maintain their vehicle good enough or inspect their own tires enough to get any set of tires to wear completely even. If there were "tons of reviews of people getting even more than that" I wouldn't be able to sell anything but the BFG.
