Tyres

Why ar BFG tyres so well respected?

I am shortly in the market for 6 tyres.

265 x 65 x 17 BFG or prefered (265 x 70 x 17) All terrain.

I have heard that the side walls on the BFG are stronger than most.

What else sets the BFG apart from the rest, or are there other makers of all terrains that also have a good tyre construction.

I have heard reports of over landers driving from UK to Cape Town, and not having a single puncture with the BFG.

Hi Andy,

I will look at the General AT2
Do they have good strong side walls?

It is for my 2005 Land Cruiser LC3

17 inch seem to be an awkward size at the moment.

Given time, there will be a good selection though. . . I hope.

Hello Andy,

i have asked this Q on several forums.

General AT2 have been mentioned more than once as a good tyre.

I do, like you say, feel a taller sidewall is prefered.

265 x 70 x 17 would lift the LC by maybe half inch at most.

Would you suggest possibly that I should look for 265 x 75 x 17 ?

Good places to get prices for the Generals ?

I feel I really should buy the BFG A/T, it's like Andy said, there so damn expensive.

The other good choice for me is the General Grabber AT2

They seem to have good reports, and only some thing like 75% of the price of the BFG.

Perhaps BFG are pricing themselves out of the market, as far as the "man in the street" go's.
