QUESTION ABOUT TIRES


i am running BFG all terrain T/A
on my 07 Tacoma TRD Off Road

I have about 33,000 miles on them, i have them balanced and rotated at the recommended mileage

but the question is,
how many miles could I expect to get from the tires
it seems lately I am getting alot of tire noise now driving on the freeways, they are starting to feel a little rough riding for my taste?

You will surely get quite a few opinions on this topic, but it has been my experience that I get about 40-50,000 miles on the BFG All Terrain T/As. Several sets on an old CJ-7, another set on an '04 Tundra 4x4 double cab with a pop-top camper on the back.

If you have 4WD, the edges will cup and wear slightly, regardless of how religiously you rotate them and keep on top of the air pressure. This has more to do with the mechanical pieces in a 4WD drive train than it has to do with the type of tires you run.

As they say, your mileage may vary.

Pay close attention to the sidewall damage and 'checking', since the sidewalls can wear out and become unsafe long before you run out of tread. You may be able to minimize the tire noise by adjusting the air pressure a bit.

I have them on all 3 of my 4x4's and I consistantly get about 40K out of them. I have never experienced the "cupping" that others report, but I have them aligned & balanced at a "truck alignment specialty" shop (reads expensive) and I think it is worth it. Again, others have reported that they are noisy, but I have never experienced that in any of my vehicles. They are rough riding, but all heavy-duty tires seem to be rough riding, I believe. I run them at about 45 (load range D) on the highway, and 25 in the dirt. (lower in sand and rocks)

As said above, "tires" are a very personal matter, and we all have different opinions, that is for sure.

I ran two sets of these tires on my Ford Ranger from 2000 through 2003 when I sold the Ford and bought my Rubicon. These tires became louder, and they rode rough for an All-Terrain tire.

One suggestion is to have the bead broken and rotate the tire on the rim, and have the tire remounded/rebalanced. A tire that is rough riding is also going to cause damage to your steering and CV Joints. These parts are lighter in weight and lighter duty and can become damaged over time by hopping tires, tires that are out-of-round, etc.

Turning the tire on the rim will reset everything from scratch. It really helps when a tire is out of round and exhibiting these "hopping" characteristics.

The best remedy is to replace the hopping tire with a new tire. You will know you have a problem when you see the amount of weights used to HELP balance the suspect tire.

Try stripping weights and check balance weight needed. Rotate tire 180 on rim and re-check. SOMETIMES you can reduce weight needed by this process. Also check balance on bare rim and mark the heavy point, use this as a guide to position tire on rim. Trial and error, but it works.

Balancing a tire on a bent wheel looks like this.:no:



A great-looking set of wheels changed this problem immediately.

When I said my BFG AT's were "rough riding", I did not mean they "hopped". That is an "out of round" problem, or gross imbalance------both things that I demand (and get for free) a replacement tire if thet happens. Tires should be "round", and be able to balance with just a minimum of weights. If they are not, then there is a manufacturing defect, and the dealer will replace them free (been there, done that). Wheels are seldom (never?) "out of balance" unless damaged, or defective, in which case you can have them replaced for free.

In my experience, all "load range D" reputable tires are stiff (multible plys cause stiff) so therefore ride rougher than the factory tires (usually inadaquate) that came with the vehicle.

The "noise" complaint I hear often on this board totally mystifies me--------I have never had a noisy BFG AT in 20 + years. :?::?:

It is interesting about people getting there tires rotated. On my 93 Toyota 4x4 I never rotated the tires in the 150,000 miles I owned it except when I bought two new ones they went on the front. Never saw a need to. Tires wore flat all the way around. BFG TA KOs lasted 40,000 to 45,000 miles. I changed them early because I like a little extra rubber. My 91 chevy was another story until I did my own camber adjustments. Tire shops wouldn't listen to what I wanted done. My GMC tread wears flat too. I also put the new ones on the front. I'm still checking out my 04 Tacoma.

In my old Isuzu rodeo I heard tons of BF Goodrich AT tire noise, not so much in my Tundra recently. In fact I didn't hear noticeable change in noise when I purchased my last pair post removal of stock Michelins. I usually get about 50k on a set. My friend has 75k right now on his BFGs with tread to spare. Amazing.

You guys are "hearing things"------------I am on my 3rd set of BFG AT's on my '89 Isuzu Trooper (150K miles) and never has there been the slightest "noise" out of those tires, when new, or when old and almost worn out. (235 x 15's)

What in the world are you folks doing to your tires????

The other two vehicles with identical tires are an 2007 Nissan X-terra (265 x 16) and a l994 F-250 pickup. (285 x 16's)

--------and no, I seldom even have my radio on, and my wife is very quiet.

I aways replace the origina tires with C00PER A.T.RADILS they may be a little more Pricey, I think they are worth it ultra quite and excelnt traction I have a set on my 4x4 Suburban that have been on the vehicle 3+ years with little or no signs of wear. I buy them in BAJA where i get free Balance ,Rotation and alignment if needed. My Motorhome will need tires soon it has Michlens on it now which I think is one of the worst tires made I will replace with Coopers

this ALWAYS interests me and i always end up buying alot of chineese tires:lol:

DOT Markings

Essentially the DOT marking serves as the tire's fingerprint. DOT signifies that the tire complies with U.S. Department of Transportation Tire Safety Standards, and is permitted for highway use.

For example refer to the following markings:

DOT M5H3 459X 064

The first letter and number following DOT designate the tire's manufacturer and plant code.

The third, fourth and fifth number and letter, 59X, is the tire size code which is an optional manufacturers code that identifies the tire size and other specific characteristics of the tire.

The final three numbers denote when the tire was produced, with the first two indicating the week, and the last number indicating the year (064 indicates the tire was built in the 6th week of 1994).

Where is it made and how old is it?
