New Bfg

[arkantor]

So about two minutes after I paid for my new tires this happened.

My Friends Bronco Tried to pull me out:

This attempt failed so eventually we put a Dodge 1500 in front of the Bronco. It took sixty feet of tow rope, a bronco, and a dodge to pull me out. Gotta love the BFGs

nothing a good 10-20 min worth of shoveling couldn't have got you out of.....been there before!

Yeah we were all working at the shop anyway so it gave us some fun stuff to do for a while

Snow is fun. One great thing about it is its so easy to shovel. If that were mud, it would have been much harder to get out under your own power compared to snow. Always a fun adventure to get unstuck though. I'm kinda suprised the bronco couldn't pull you out. Did he only pull or did he do some yanking?

 

[arkantor]

Yeah he did some yanking but that only got me a few feet, so rather then break anything we just added another truck. The Bronco is also three wheel drive so had a little to do with it.

thats what all-terrains do best... get u stuck!

Very Nice! Gotta love snow

So it's the tires fault... Not the fact you tried to drive through 3 feet of unplowed snow.

 

[Bronco_Chuck]

ive never managed to get stuck yet. and i have open diffs. and the same tires, just a bit bigger.

the snow is only up to his hubs, thats like 15" of snow

unless those are 6' tires

There is no way you can blame my tires. I drove threw about 3 feet of hard packed snow. That Bronco couldn't even make it through the stuff. My old tires I could not have even made it 3 feet into the snow. I am actually a huge fan of these tires. I go to school in the UP of Michigan and we get more snow then should be allowed and I am driving around in two wheel drive no problem. I know a guy who drives in the rally championships and he knows tires, he says these are the best tires for snow. So until you bring a truck up here and drive through more crap then I can stop blaming the tires.

all im saying is that all terrains dont clean out very well. i have the same set on my truck and everytime i hit a little bit of mud n water, it slides all over the place.

Obviously wasn't trying hard enough

BFG AT's are good when new. after 50% wear they suck Balls in the Snow. I got stuck in my yard with 1" of snow. There was a hockey stick under the snow. I had to put it in 4wd Just to back up to get a run at it.

yea everyone agrees bfg a/ts suck in the mud..

i heard something once, that with snow tires, you WANT a bit of snow packed in the tires, because it helps pull you along, like the snow in the tire wll stick to the snow on the road. this would make sense, cuz as CopyKat says, after 50% tread wear on the bfg ats, they suck in the snow, most likely because they are fully packing with snow, and self clean like shit... at like 75-100% there is 25-50% of the tread not packed with snow, so they do good.

right now im running on three 75% tread 33" bfg ats, and one 50% procomp mt (right rear, sidewall gouge on the 4th bfg at).. i also have a no-slip locker in the rear, but i did better in the snow last year with 75%+ pro comp m/ts and an open diff in the snow.. (last year i had blown front spider gears, right now i have 2 broken axle shafts int he front, so i drive in the snow 2wd constantly--because im too lazy to fix shit in the cold)

so anyways, im undecided on the bfg a/ts. i got them for $450 brand new, on rims.. so it was a deal i couldnt pass up. i probably wouldnt buy them retail.

Lets just say some people like All Terrains and some people don't.
