All Terrain (AT) Tyres

When you are looking for a compromise between off-road capability and good on-road manners, an All-Terrain (AT) tyre is the way to go.

Bought a set of bfg all terrains for the troopy . I am impressed by the way the sidewalls hold there shape even at 14psi for sand driving . The tyres footprint got noticieably longer but the sidewall stayed relatively the same as when it was at 38 psi . I had bridgestones on before and the bagging of the sidewall was terrible , very easy to stake . Going to fraser on the 4th so i will see how they go .

Hi I'am with you. Since I changed for Coopers to BFG my problems seem to have gone away!

Driving on Mickey Thompsons at the moment but I reckon the BFG AT's are the best tyre I have ever had.

Also had Cooper ST's but I wont go there.

I've been on BFG since 1993. I've had numerous sidewall stakes (though never through the tread), blow outs (which have been repaired) and tread delaminations. So they're not indestructible.

I've been on BFG A/T's for about the same amount of time. On my third set now. In that time I haven't even had a flat, never mind a stake, blow out or delamination.
It is now doubt true that you must be giving them a much harder time than me, rogher tracks, more hardcore terrain etc. I do most of my off road on the QLD islands, Moreton, Bribie and Fraser. Mostly sand I guess but still plenty of rough tracks with low air pressure.

It's seems, as has been noted many times, that peoples' experiences with the same tyre can vary wildly. Damn it makes it hard to decide if any brand has any advantages over another.

I want get a set of muddies next so I'll probably stay with BFG. Mind you, they cost more than some others too.

Tyres just go round and round.

Atta Boy

Love my BFG AT's.. Muddies are top stuff too !

On our recent trip 15,000 km plus Canning and Gibb River road, 1 puncture only, then I plugged it, and drove it home. Pressures 12 front .. 15 rear.. 12 camper, in the Canning and 18,, 20 ,, 16 on the Gibb Easy.....
All too easy, and will not have any other tyre on our 4B.

Servo owner at Marble Bar, claims that Coopers made him a millionaire $$$$$$$

He hates BFG's,... as they seldome schyte themselves, and he cannot make $$$$$ from repairs

I Have to agree !
