Hi all
Looking at putting a set of BFG A/T's on the GU.
What is a reasonable price for a set of BFG A/T's (I need 5) and can anyone recommend a supplier in Sydney preferable in the North West.
Cheers

Speak with Jim at Auto City Tyre and wheel in Seven Hills, he is an independant and can give you quite a few different options of tyres. personally, BFG's are so over rated and will I will never buy them as you can get much more value for money and Quality in other manufacturers brands.

Hi Camper,
Well have you had tried a set of BFG or are you speakin from ya ass as I have a set on a GU Patrol still going with 98,000 km on them and they still have about 5mm of tread left which could mean another 20,000 km +++ but because I tow a 2 ton + van I am going to get another set soon,Also I forgot to mention that this is my third (3) set of BFG -A/T and same with all so can you define some facts when you KNOCK something in future this is supposed to be a helpful Forum not one to just knock something that you might not like or can afford.

Dj I am not "speakin from Ya ass" but maybe you can go bash it up your own.
I have had BFG's and am giving my opinion of value, that is all. Remember this is a forum and while I apolagise if you are upset by MY opinion of the relevant topic, it has nothing to bloody well do with what YOU think I "MIGHT NOT LIKE OR CAN AFFORD"
They are tyres , they go round and round or are there different ones from the space program that I must have?

dj patrol,
I got 100000kms out of my 1st set of BFG all terrains and now up to 75k on my second set. I only changed the 1st ones because the tread went hard and was a bit slidey in the wet on road. When I got the second set the guy at Bob jane said they had changed the compound which allows for more grip but in turn means they will wear quicker. Well after 75k they still have 8mm left.
They are, I think, the best all round 4x4 tyre.
The only negative about them is balancing. Sometimes they need heaps to balance.
Also, my 1st set I still managed to sell in the trading post for $500 to a guy who wanted them for a camper trailer.
