Had to switch from 265 bf to 235 bf on my landrover defender …bigger tires caused a lot of steering wobbling …solved it with 235 bf mud terrain …great steering …lighter …better gas mileage….great performance too …love your channel jimmy 👍🏼
Any good off-road instructor will tell you that the 235/85/16 is the gold standard! Especially for the Defender!!! The bigger A.Ts will quickly make a lot of noise on the road as soon as they are a third worn and do not have the 3pmsf approval which authorizes to be driven on snow (in Europe it is the law) and M.S will not tell you not allow, even if the tires have a good performance! In addition, as Jimmy says so well, the bigger ones have a harder rubber, so good for the lifespan but less good for snow, mud, and much noisier... so, apart from the look, I don't see any interest.
I don't know what it's like in the US, but in Australia, a big factor when choosing a size for an overlanding rig, is to choose the most common option, so you can get a replacement wherever you go. 265/75 is available in almost every brand, whereas 235/85 is very limited.
I am in the US but I consider that as well my truck came with a 245/75 but will fit 285/75 without much issues but the 265/75 is easier to find so that is what I run
Lol this whole video gave me a headache, i have a 89 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, came with a 145hp 280ft lbs torque 5.9 liter engine, yes 145hp thanks to 70s emissions bs.. But its got plenty of power for 31-33-35 inch tires, you just have to regear the diff's.
A narrow tire will be lighter at the OD meaning it has a lower polar moment of inertia, therefore it will take less HP to spin. The tires all have the same outer diameter (more or less) and the polar moment of inertia makes more of a difference on acceleration.
i ran both on my 90 sub 235/85/16 were the stock size i liked them ran that truck for 500k before it retired all on road they were great in the snow less push
Use 33x10.5R15 BFG ATs on Jeep TJ Wrangler w/ 3" lift and the best tires ever used. Love those pizza cutters and they perform better on snow & ice as they don't have the "hockey puck effect" of the 12.5" wide tires.
I run 265/75R16s (load range E) on my 2500 GMC Suburban. It looks like a beast and I love it. I have had people randomly tell me that it looks good that way.
Hello, I am a french Guy and I discover this video juste now. I have a Toyota Land cruiser Prado 1998 . Normaly the size is 2656516 but since more than 10 years I drive with 2358516. The 2358516 are the best for the track because not too large and the traction is more concentrated on the grip of the tire. But on the motorway sometimes you Can loose a little the control if the road is slippery. I think I will decide to put 2657516 in the future to be cool on motorway and it will do the job on the track👍 😉
At my age it don't matter anyhow, ah, what was I talking about? I'll have another cup of coffee, was it important? Oh never mind. Ya know there was a time, time, bed time I think. nite
I personally run a 235/85R16 mud claw on a 1985 chevy c30 dually. You tend to find the 235/85R16 on a lot of dually trucks like tow trucks, small box trucks, and service trucks.
Not quite the same but have been running 285/75R16 mud tires on a 1997 5.4 Expedition, no lift. 3.73 final drive and drives better than with the stock 245 or 265 tires.
I know this is late to the game but I have the 265/75R16 on my 99 Tahoe (stock is also 245/75R16) and I really enjoy the look and the extra 1/2 inch extra ride height
Some years ago one of the 4X4 magazines tested about 10 of the most popular replacement 4X4 vehicle tires and surprisingly, as youll see SO many BFG ATs around town that tire tested WORST. It did well on dry pavement & dry dirt but that was it. Gravel, sand, snow, mud, wet pavement wet hard packed dirt - tested LAST. The Yokohama Geolander tested I cant remember exactly but near the top. I think the BFG AT sells so many because the tread pattern looks aggressive the white letter look good & they are cheap. Even costco sells them. Yoko you have to special order. In fact, here, years later, I have a set of yoko on my wrangler JK. I have NEVER been disappointed. Not on nor off road. !
I had an old farmer tell me this along time ago that the thinner tires cut through the terrain and whether better than wide fat big tires not only that they get better fuel mileage because there’s less friction on the road or on the surface pavement
My F250 came with th 265 and I went with the 235s as I got a set (both BFG) for a good deal but I changed back after a few months as the 235s had a harsher ride and didn't feel as stable!
Personally I’d like to thank you. I have watched MANY videos on these tires, and you are the first to mention the D/T rating for better tread wear. I was going to order these today. They don’t have the D/T ones. You just saved me a bunch of money. Sounds like these other ignorant viewers should try listening more. Must be millennials. Thanks man!
Go with the 265-75/16; they are a factory look. I’m on my second set and love them in the LT. i got 65k miles on first set. I’m running 295-65/20 KO2s on my 2014 F150 Super crew short bed with a 2-1/2” lift on front only. You’ll like the KO2s
The 235/85 will cut down to the pavement through the snow it is more common in northern areas. If you are going off road the 265/75 will float over the ground better. Tire ratings C- 6 ply D- 8 ply E- 10 ply The more ply’s the heavier and more puncture resist the tire is
Never put a BF Goodrich all terrain T/A on a heavy vehicle. If you do, you will only get 25 to 30 thousand miles out of them. Maybe this DT tire fixes the issue. Switching to the Cooper Discoverer ST (and now the ST Max), solved the problem for me.
A different size tire height will change the ratio for the speedometer. Hope its programmable or you may need to change the speedo gears in the transmission
Great video. We are in the same boat with our 06 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. We plan to drive on the beach quite a bit as well as some overland trails and snow. Leaning towards a 265/70/17 in the K02
I'm seeing a lot of people saying to go with lower and narrower instead of taller and wider. Depending on the vehicle I would think going wider adds stability. Going taller is different in that the center of gravity changes increasing chances of rollover. In the end buy good tires and maintain them. 👍
I've been off-roading my whole entire life. My personal opinion is B.F. Goodrich tires would definitely be on the bottom of my list. They are extremely heavy, very expensive and have quality issues. I currently run Toyo and Continentals on all my vehicles. I would stay away from Cooper and B.F. Goodrich tires. This is from my personal experience. The last set of B.F. Goodrich and Coopers I bought we defective. The manufacture of each gave me the run around. They would not back their products.
Very very clever to ramble on for watch time and comments! Alot of $$ for ad revenue on this one... hard to beat tires that cost nothing out of your pocket. Well done.
I ran 285/75R16 on my 1998 K1500 with the torsion keys cranked up and had no issues of rubbing in anyway. And they were the falken Wild peak AT3s and convinced my friend to switch from his BFGs to the wild peaks and he said he liked the wild peaks much more, especially in Denver winters
Make sure the tires you buy or not going to rub underneath the fender or the back tires ain't going to hit a tailpipe ramp and I can't because I can be a problem if you get them too big and forget them too small it ain't going to be good on your fuel module to Big ain't going to be good on fuel mileage
I’ve always used BF Goodrich All Terrain TKO tires and now TKO-2 tires. In fact, I just bought some last week. I own a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT Z71 4x4 crew cab. I put a leveling kit on the truck, bought 4, 18”x9” Fuel “Assault” wheels and then went up 2 different sizes in tires from the stock 265’s, to the now current, 285’s. The truck looks night and day different and I totally love it. I have no idea if the tires were the DT ones or not? I know they are 10 ply tires and all of my other ones generally lasted me at least around 75,000 miles but on one set I actually got 85,000 miles out of them.
Odd ocd of mine won’t let me get bfgoodrich. I hate that the sidewall patterns will go different directions whether they are driver-side or passenger-side making one like look like the tires are on backwards…
He reminds me of scotty kilmer....instead of a good informative channel they both use the fear mongering negative titles....."never do this" "why you shouldn't do this" hell one video about changing the rear differential fluid the he had the red circle with "don't" next to it but it had nothing to do with the vid.
I had those 235/85 16's on my 3rd gen 4runner and I loved them. Yes, they looked skinny when compared to all the other guys on the trail rides. But they worked so well and I didn't have to cut any bodywork or need to change wheels or modify the suspension.
You don't have to cut, or bend anything to run 265/75r16s. You "may have to" for 285/75r16s. But from the factory, 265/75r16s don't rub even at full flex with the sway bar removed.
Jimmy, I like your videos up until recently when you've started making them very click-bate like. I understand that it's a trend, but your videos were fine without following this trend. Lately I've stopped watching because of the click-bate nature of your videos.
I'd go with the 235-85. They are lighter, and I like the look. Also it'll be better in the snow. (Although the winter rating may not seem as important as a long mileage warranty, one accident avoidance changes all of that).
Back in the 1970's we were loggers in western Montana. We always used tall skinny tires on our work pickups and would we would go circles around pickups with wide fat tires, especially in snow and ice..
I took a chance on Falken Wildpeak AT3W's for my Z71 Sierra (stock size 265/75/16) 2 years ago. They're still over half tread. Besides the Bilstein 5100's shocks, these tires are the best upgrade I've ever made to my truck🤘.
I have this size on my dodge Cummins. Chinese tires called " capital. Found the receipt yesterday. 9 years old now but nearing replacement stage.also I don't put on a lot of miles each year.
Got these brand new on a 2022 rubicon jeep gladiator 285/70R17 so far fantastic in the snow ❄ and ice. Too busy working to test out off road in summer...yet.
@@juliosdiy3206 did my research, and I am completely happy with Gerneral Altimax Rt43 on my AWD RAV4.. I was considering going with two separate sets of tires, all season and then a set of winter tires. Went with the Generals and couldn't be happier with all around performance in all conditions. I read, at that time I bought mine, make sure they are the Altimax RT43, not the regular Altimax. I even go on some trails for camping, not serious off road trails, but they sometimes get muddy. I haven't had a problem yet after a few years with them. I have used BFG AT's , and also some Firestone tires on previous 4 wheel drive vehicles that sadly disappointed during winter months.
Been running the 265's on my Tahoe since I got it. Compares and performs as equal to my buddies with big overkill tires. Never got stuck and actually pulled them out of mud and snow with ease. Stock 4x4 by the way.
Precisely what I thought.........makes one loose interest in the video........... I kept skipping 10 secs till the end.........to find nothing of significance.
Same. My beast PERFORMED so much better. Those little tires aren’t gonna last very long with that weight he’s got. She needs some meat on them bones; The more the cushion the more pushin’ lol
I ran this size on my 01 Tahoe. As heavy as it is ,I was happy with the traction off road. A skinny tire digs to much with all that wait in the winter on my soft ground. Gass mileage sucked but didn't get stuck as much
If you're staying clear of deep mud and soft sand, go for the skinnies, it's clear you understand the advantages. Though, mileage in my 95 sub isn't bad on the 265/70/16 I had on when staying down at the 55-60 mph range. It's still truck mileage, but comparable to the newer Chevy's.
kstricl. imgnation milage? 5.7. will not get more then 12-13mpg that is why those old 1995s have 42 gallon tanks mind you my 6.0l. hybrid gets 24-25.5. on the highway. the highest ever was 26.7mpg hyw
From experience please don't go with the narrower tires. My 2001 GMC had narrow tires and every time I go to do something like get a stack of wood or pull off the road I would sink and have to get help to pull the beast out. With the factory tires my truck would go all the way to the axles. Now I have gone with wider tires no more sinking and a lot better ride.
@Robert Manning Another thing this guy needs to be aware of, don’t worry about a rougher ride!!! If you don’t put a 10ply tire on that Suburban, you won’t get a normal years worth of driving out of those tires!!! I mistakenly had a set of B F GOODRICH Long Trail 4ply Tires in the 265/75/16 tire size put on my truck(they had a 50,000 mile warranty on them as well) and they were just shy of bald when I had to replace them in LESS THAN A YEAR!!!! I would not have thrown my money away like that if I had know that they were only a 4ply tire!!!! On a vehicle like his Suburban or my F-150, tire size is not the only consideration!!! These vehicles weigh more than normal passenger cars, so having a tire with a *’P’* rating put on a vehicle that weighs over 5,000lbs curb weight is the wrong type of tire for that vehicle!!!! Don’t buy a tire solely on its tread life warranty!!!! But tires that are rated for the vehicle weight that you are putting those tires on!!! Where I live, the roads are filled with potholes, up and down grades with curves thrown in there and the normal everyday passenger car tire will not hold up to that kind of punishment on a truck!!! With the EXCEPTION of the 4ply tires that I bought not realizing that they were only 4ply; I have never had any tires with less that 8ply on this truck and I never should have focused on the per tire price and warranty for that set of tires!!! What I will focus on now and will as long as I continue to own this truck or any like it in the future, is the number of plys of steel belts and rubber between my truck and the road!!! The B F Goodrich tires I have on my truck now are 10ply KO2’s!!! They are noisy, but I’ve already had them on my truck for the better part of 2 years and other than some minor cupping, they appear to have nearly the same tread depth they had when I purchased them!!!
Yes. I run a set of K02’s on my 150 10ply with an E load rating. They have been great tires I have put over 80000km on them in 3.5 years with a mix of regular driving and towing a travel trailer. I am at the point where I need to think about replacing them and I will buy the K02 again.
I run the mastercraft 10 ply courser cxts 1 level below the mud terrain and yes thats also because I already own the 10 ply mud terrains mtxs, and have a Goodyear 8 ply Goodyear all terrain authority radials for during the summer, 265 75 r 16 10 ply is always the way to go
That depends on what's on the road. When roads arnt plowed I've found a little fatter tire bits a little better. Even though you float on top of it better. But yes in most cases the skinnier tire is better. But I'd say just go with a 10.5 wide snow tire (assuming it's a suv or truck) and you cant complain with that
Here’s a 4 year update on the tires: ua-cam.com/video/niIG7e_wK8E/v-deo.html
your 95 suburban..looks great 👍🏽
Had to switch from 265 bf to 235 bf on my landrover defender …bigger tires caused a lot of steering wobbling …solved it with 235 bf mud terrain …great steering …lighter …better gas mileage….great performance too …love your channel jimmy 👍🏼
Any good off-road instructor will tell you that the 235/85/16 is the gold standard! Especially for the Defender!!! The bigger A.Ts will quickly make a lot of noise on the road as soon as they are a third worn and do not have the 3pmsf approval which authorizes to be driven on snow (in Europe it is the law) and M.S will not tell you not allow, even if the tires have a good performance! In addition, as Jimmy says so well, the bigger ones have a harder rubber, so good for the lifespan but less good for snow, mud, and much noisier... so, apart from the look, I don't see any interest.
I don't know what it's like in the US, but in Australia, a big factor when choosing a size for an overlanding rig, is to choose the most common option, so you can get a replacement wherever you go. 265/75 is available in almost every brand, whereas 235/85 is very limited.
Exactly, imagine stuck out at Windorah waiting for a new tyre
Exactly
You could just get the closest size available until your back home to order 235/85
I am in the US but I consider that as well my truck came with a 245/75 but will fit 285/75 without much issues but the 265/75 is easier to find so that is what I run
@@MrMarkguth Oh yeah, or Narnia even.
Great to know that tire size actually exists. I like narrow tires myself and almost impossible to find in that height. I'd love that on 33's.
"my truck doesn't have much power so I want to put on a taller tire", Me... scratching my head
Lol this whole video gave me a headache, i have a 89 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, came with a 145hp 280ft lbs torque 5.9 liter engine, yes 145hp thanks to 70s emissions bs.. But its got plenty of power for 31-33-35 inch tires, you just have to regear the diff's.
Yeah, that sounds like twisted logic. If it's only an inch taller I don't think it would make too much of a difference. 🤔
@@slomotrainwreck
I think it is the wider tire being the issue when relating to rolling resistance.
A narrow tire will be lighter at the OD meaning it has a lower polar moment of inertia, therefore it will take less HP to spin. The tires all have the same outer diameter (more or less) and the polar moment of inertia makes more of a difference on acceleration.
My dads 99 suburban is on 265 75, and it seems perfectly fine doing the off roading he does with it

I run 235/85r16s on my 2016 PX2 Ford Ranger here in Australia and they work quite well. Original factory size was 255/70r16.

The 235/85 will cut down to the pavement through the snow it is more common in northern areas.
If you are going off road the 265/75 will float over the ground better.
Tire ratings
C- 6 ply

I agree on preferring skinnier tires. I’m changing my pickup to slightly narrower than stock.
I can’t figure out what you mean by “this.”
Nice tires. I prefer wider. We've got a 96 burb with 35s on a stock 2500. No rubbing and can turn lock to lock. Did have to message the front a bit.
On my K2500 I put 265/70/17 looks great.
Something to consider? How much does each tire weigh? And that affects your wheelbearings you’re breaking all things
A different size tire height will change the ratio for the speedometer. Hope its programmable or you may need to change the speedo gears in the transmission

How does one maintain them? Just with proper rotation and psi(

Check the weight ratings on each, you might be surprised. For an overlanding rig you want a tire with a higher weight rating.

Who says wider is better? Floatation isn’t always a good thing particularly in snow or mud where you need to get down to a harder surface.
Cheers
7:20 It's because the rubber is harder, harder rubber wears longer and yields better fuel economy but provides less traction.
Also, the harder tire will be more prone to skidding on wet pavement.
BFG K02 tires are all terrains. They're street tires with a little more traction. If you want off road tires buy some mud terrain.
Taller tires, change your ring and pinion too. Your drive train is working harder especially your overdrive.
skinny tires cut through snow better and less friction so for me skinny is how I would go
The "theory" of skinnier tyres having more grit than a wider one is beyond me...
I would go with 265/75
The skinnier the snow tire,The better it goes in the snow..
Odd ocd of mine won’t let me get bfgoodrich. I hate that the sidewall patterns will go different directions whether they are driver-side or passenger-side making one like look like the tires are on backwards…

Hi,Amigo go with the the bfgoodrich all-terrain 265 / 75 / 16
where is the truck going to spend the majority of the time? That is the determining factor. How much is gas? Just pushing more tires down the road.
Yes the rounder tires gets better gas mileage.
Will put your same size tire on it that was there b4
Screw falken go bfg! Get quality! But the Toyo AT III is nice too.
Get the Duratracs and don’t look back 😉
245/70. There, now I screwed everyone up.
Get the black ones! Black tires look more normal!
Use the 265 tires
i like 235 tire the best
im buying 5 years tires from tire4coin
I had those 235/85 16's on my 3rd gen 4runner and I loved them. Yes, they looked skinny when compared to all the other guys on the trail rides. But they worked so well and I didn't have to cut any bodywork or need to change wheels or modify the suspension.
You don't have to cut, or bend anything to run 265/75r16s. You "may have to" for 285/75r16s. But from the factory, 265/75r16s don't rub even at full flex with the sway bar removed.
@@Slking507Will they fit a stock hilux?
This guy talks more than my girlfriend
Ewk VLOGS The first time I ever heard him I thought the same thing. LOL 😂
Is her name Carmen?
What do you want a mind meld you idiot
He should go away and talk about tampons, emotions, and relationships.
But does he put out like your girl is the ?
i got my tires from tire4coin
Who gives af
5 1/2 minutes into an 8:50 video and i’m still wondering what we should do before buying tires. This vid is a waste of time.
He does more babbling about nothing!
Will you please shut the hell up!
Excessive diarrhea of the mouth.
He has to be a salesman.
I forgot why I was watching it
Michael Cowan He's a photographer.
As are the few others he has out. Always check the comments before wasting time watching.
I buy only from tire4coin
I don't
The 235 85 is usually used for duallys. That's why you didn't see much about it.
FTR..
235 75 is what my 95 econoline has.
Personally I'd get the round one, say what you will but a round one has always been my choice. And the rounder the better.
Triangular tires will soon be the norm, and then we will all have the ride that we demand.
Lol 😆 yes....
Yup, get the round ones
I prefer black. Like my soul. But to each their own I guess.
Round tires are now offensive so yes the rounder the better!
Jimmy, I like your videos up until recently when you've started making them very click-bate like. I understand that it's a trend, but your videos were fine without following this trend. Lately I've stopped watching because of the click-bate nature of your videos.
I'm quitting watching them because he DM'd me asking for DI*K PICS
"I want something that looks factory". So put on the factory size.
Same,i would like to later put on 285/65R17 on my 4 gen Toyota 4runner but still keep the factory look
Factory size doesn't tend to look factory once you've lifted it some.
@@hannahranga don't think of lifting my 4runner but keeping it stock.
Factory is 245 75 16. You only get less gas mileage, you have less pep as well.
Wrong
I'd go with the 235-85.
They are lighter, and I like the look.
Also it'll be better in the snow. (Although the winter rating may not seem as important as a long mileage warranty, one accident avoidance changes all of that).
Try the Mickey Thompson all terrain 255/85 17r’s. They are a 10” wide 34” tall tire.
Back in the 1970's we were loggers in western Montana. We always used tall skinny tires on our work pickups and would we would go circles around pickups with wide fat tires, especially in snow and ice..
I took a chance on Falken Wildpeak AT3W's for my Z71 Sierra (stock size 265/75/16) 2 years ago. They're still over half tread. Besides the Bilstein 5100's shocks, these tires are the best upgrade I've ever made to my truck🤘.
I have this size on my dodge Cummins. Chinese tires called " capital. Found the receipt yesterday. 9 years old now but nearing replacement stage.also I don't put on a lot of miles each year.
Got these brand new on a 2022 rubicon jeep gladiator 285/70R17 so far fantastic in the snow ❄ and ice. Too busy working to test out off road in summer...yet.
Get to the point.
There’s a point?
Then why spend half the video of talking about the 235
Heavy_Haul_N_Fool he’s waiting for BFGoodrich to offer him a pair for free so that they can get advertising that he can review
In the snow belt we routinely go one size narrower and one size taller to get the same diameter, and better traction on snow.
Bfg KO2,s are snow rated. The all eat snow.
I think i should do that for my forester.
@@juliosdiy3206 did my research, and I am completely happy with Gerneral Altimax Rt43 on my AWD RAV4.. I was considering going with two separate sets of tires, all season and then a set of winter tires. Went with the Generals and couldn't be happier with all around performance in all conditions. I read, at that time I bought mine, make sure they are the Altimax RT43, not the regular Altimax. I even go on some trails for camping, not serious off road trails, but they sometimes get muddy. I haven't had a problem yet after a few years with them. I have used BFG AT's , and also some Firestone tires on previous 4 wheel drive vehicles that sadly disappointed during winter months.
Just glad to see you doing a real world build instead of starting with a $70k bare SUV.
Been running the 265's on my Tahoe since I got it. Compares and performs as equal to my buddies with big overkill tires. Never got stuck and actually pulled them out of mud and snow with ease. Stock 4x4 by the way.
If you've never been stuck, especially stock truck, then you've never been 4 wheeling. EVERYTHING can and will get stuck
tires are best on tire4coin
Omg - repeat city, could have been a one minute video
Precisely what I thought.........makes one loose interest in the video........... I kept skipping 10 secs till the end.........to find nothing of significance.
Exactly! This guy sucks! I sped up the video instead!! It's all blah blah blah! I want my 5 mins back!
Almost 9 minutes a repeating everything again again again :(((
I stopped listening after 45 sec. 😆
"Don't buy tires without doing this first."
Literally did nothing...
I thought for sure his boyfriend was gonna come out and they were going to start a sissy, slapping, match
285/75r16👌
Same. My beast PERFORMED so much better. Those little tires aren’t gonna last very long with that weight he’s got. She needs some meat on them bones; The more the cushion the more pushin’ lol
Haha yessir
I ran this size on my 01 Tahoe. As heavy as it is ,I was happy with the traction off road. A skinny tire digs to much with all that wait in the winter on my soft ground. Gass mileage sucked but didn't get stuck as much
If you're staying clear of deep mud and soft sand, go for the skinnies, it's clear you understand the advantages. Though, mileage in my 95 sub isn't bad on the 265/70/16 I had on when staying down at the 55-60 mph range. It's still truck mileage, but comparable to the newer Chevy's.
kstricl. imgnation milage? 5.7. will not get more then 12-13mpg that is why those old 1995s have 42 gallon tanks
mind you my 6.0l. hybrid gets 24-25.5. on the highway. the highest ever was 26.7mpg hyw
My 94 tbi 4x4 can get 16 on the highway if you go 55 to 60.
From experience please don't go with the narrower tires. My 2001 GMC had narrow tires and every time I go to do something like get a stack of wood or pull off the road I would sink and have to get help to pull the beast out. With the factory tires my truck would go all the way to the axles. Now I have gone with wider tires no more sinking and a lot better ride.
Yep. For the regular user (multi use vehicle) a decent width is the best all around option.
Be happy that he didn't go on to talk about the air that goes in the tires.
Go with 265 in the long run they'll give you better overall performance and stability.
@Robert Manning
Another thing this guy needs to be aware of, don’t worry about a rougher ride!!!
If you don’t put a 10ply tire on that Suburban, you won’t get a normal years worth of driving out of those tires!!!
I mistakenly had a set of B F GOODRICH Long Trail 4ply Tires in the 265/75/16 tire size put on my truck(they had a 50,000 mile warranty on them as well) and they were just shy of bald when I had to replace them in LESS THAN A YEAR!!!!
I would not have thrown my money away like that if I had know that they were only a 4ply tire!!!!
On a vehicle like his Suburban or my F-150, tire size is not the only consideration!!!
These vehicles weigh more than normal passenger cars, so having a tire with a *’P’* rating put on a vehicle that weighs over 5,000lbs curb weight is the wrong type of tire for that vehicle!!!!
Don’t buy a tire solely on its tread life warranty!!!!
But tires that are rated for the vehicle weight that you are putting those tires on!!!
Where I live, the roads are filled with potholes, up and down grades with curves thrown in there and the normal everyday passenger car tire will not hold up to that kind of punishment on a truck!!!
With the EXCEPTION of the 4ply tires that I bought not realizing that they were only 4ply; I have never had any tires with less that 8ply on this truck and I never should have focused on the per tire price and warranty for that set of tires!!!
What I will focus on now and will as long as I continue to own this truck or any like it in the future, is the number of plys of steel belts and rubber between my truck and the road!!!
The B F Goodrich tires I have on my truck now are 10ply KO2’s!!! They are noisy, but I’ve already had them on my truck for the better part of 2 years and other than some minor cupping, they appear to have nearly the same tread depth they had when I purchased them!!!
Should last longer too if you keep proper inflation and alignment
Yes. I run a set of K02’s on my 150 10ply with an E load rating. They have been great tires I have put over 80000km on them in 3.5 years with a mix of regular driving and towing a travel trailer. I am at the point where I need to think about replacing them and I will buy the K02 again.
I run the mastercraft 10 ply courser cxts 1 level below the mud terrain and yes thats also because I already own the 10 ply mud terrains mtxs, and have a Goodyear 8 ply Goodyear all terrain authority radials for during the summer, 265 75 r 16 10 ply is always the way to go
Man your head is moving a lot. My eyes are wiggling now!
Check out Scotty Kilmer.
Skinnier tires more pounds per square inch on the ground.
Skinnier tires actually work well in winter..
That depends on what's on the road. When roads arnt plowed I've found a little fatter tire bits a little better. Even though you float on top of it better. But yes in most cases the skinnier tire is better. But I'd say just go with a 10.5 wide snow tire (assuming it's a suv or truck) and you cant complain with that
@@MrMuffanga donut spares all the way around!!
Kidding 😂
Same reason tractor’s use skinny tires they have more traction they dig in the dirt better.
@@THETRUEKING12 more pounds per square inch.. Why is the chevron pattern on the tire reversed?
@@THETRUEKING12 That Suburban isn't a tractor. It is used for a whole bunch of thing that tractor would never do.
I love BF Goodrich but bought Hankook Dyna Pro AT's. They were rated better and look just as good with a quiet tread.
Wait til you get 10,000 miles and see.
Do you have an update on these tires? I'm considering them myself for my F150.
@@07Convertable I only kept the vehicle another year after buying the tires but will say they held up very well during that year with little wear.
