BFG Ko tyres

Yes if youre talking about BFG Allterains. One had a slow leak. The tyre repairer said it had a pin hole through the sidewall (they put a tube in), its really baffled me as to how this happened I put it down to vandalism, but maybe its not. Itll be interesting to read other responses. Maybe theres a fault.

Hi Will
We use BFG A/T for our tours and are on our 2nd set. We had a slow leak in the two front tyres that turned out to be a grain of sand that made its way down between the bead & rim after letting pressure down on Stockton tours.
I took both tyres off and cleaned the rim/bead - no problems since
Hope thats all it is

Are you talking about the new A/T with the bead protectors or the older ones?

I make a point of observing what tyres the locals use. From Inamincka to Birdsville I counted five shredded tyres discarded on the side of the road, and guess what, they were all BFG all terains.When I arrived at Birdsville I checked out the locals cars and tyres. Most of them were running Goodyear Wrangler A/T which are identical to Dunlop Adventurers. Ive been running them ever since and now swear by them

I was just abour to buy a set of ATs. Did a search and found that BF Goodrich has not made tyres for over 10 years. BFG are made by Mitchelin. Might look around for something else. They say coopers are good. ???

Hi Will. I've been using BFG All Terrains 31x10.5 R15s for 4 years all over Australia and am on my second set. The only problem I've had with them has been one rear pair developed stress fractures. I think this is because 6 months earlier after a sandy wet boggy cross I ran them 20k on too low a pressure (20psi)between river crossings across some pretty rough tracks. Normally I tow an off road trailer and this adds extra weight as does the lpg tank and the gear I carry. The tyres have been excellent and worn well when others with me get punctures I don't. I did 25000k in 3 months. What I have found is that you need to experiment with tyre pressure to suit your vehicle. On highways towing I find 40-42psi is great on these tyres and down as low as 22psi in sand. Handling is good on the road provided the suspension is good if its worn the tyres don't do as well.

We had seperation of the plates on an old set. They came with the car so don't know how old or whatever but was told that if they are swapped across to other side to rotate in different direction, this can happen. From that, we bought some brand new ones 2 months ago and they have been good so far.
