Initial Review, 3,000 Miles on Tires
March 09, 2011

I experienced loss of control on an ice covered road, now granted I drive a light truck, and this may be an unfair review, but I was traveling on a flat stretch of roadway going 35 to 40 max and lost total control and slid into a fenceline. This was disconcerting, but to a degree, to be expected of a light duty truck empty. I do find these tires very versatile and roadworthy, and am very pleased with their handling on dry, and wet roads. I also enjoy their sporty look, and defined lettering, which I like on my truck, gives it a tough and serious look! The wear factor is a little quick for me, but again it is hard to keep traction with a light rearend, and spirited driving. So I honor the bfgs overall and it makes my vehicle look the way I like.

Initial Review, 20,000 Miles on Tires
January 30, 2011

These tires came on the truck when I bought it (used). I have nothing but good things to say about this tire. I have no experience with it in the snow. However, with the torrential rains we get in FL, I have much experience with very wet road conditions. Being on a pickup truck, spinning the wheels on wet roads can be very easy, but I find that these tires will really only spin on wet roads if you want them to. When I got the truck, the tire had about 3/16s tread left on them. I thought, 'Well, I'll be replacing them soon'. But 16 months (and 19000 miles) later and they are still 1/32 above the wear bar. Also, even with an inch of more of water on the road, I have never hydroplaned. I stop and start quickly and tend speed most every I go (sorry, but it's the truth) and I have never had any issues with these tires performing wet or dry. They are a great value and I highly recommend them.
