Matt how do you rate these against the 694s under similar conditions? Would you have droped the 694s to the same pressure at Stockton? I am due new tyres early next year so these are high on the option list.

Re: Product review : 265/65x17 BFG AT
Thanks for the review Matt good honest feedback is great. Like mjrandom how do these compare to the 694's that you had before? I currently have 694's (still very new), but always looking for alternatives in the future.

Re: Product review : 265/65x17 BFG AT
Thanks Matt. I have had 70 profile BFG A/Ts in the past (4 sets on different beasts) and was thinking seriously about them for the 120 next year. There have been a few posts here and elsewhere on the web about 'old' design but that doesn't bother me just wanted to know if the 65 profile were as good. My only complaint about the BFGs was that near the end of their life (you knw 65,000 km or so) they got quite hard and you had to be careful on slippery surfaces, still it was a good excuse to get a new set!

Re: Product review : 265/65x17 BFG AT
Very seriously considering a set of these. Maybe the 265/70's and I'll worry about the yellow sticker later if I ever get one. And the Insurance company agrees. That aside though...
Can anyone offer comment on the BFG AT's vs Cooper ST's or ST-C's. For the life of me I can't decide which way to go. A mate recently had the Coopers ST-C's and BFG's quoted at exactly the same price, although that was for 16inch Landcruiser rims....[b]#[/b] 2007 D4D GX [b]#[/b] Full Privacy Tint [b]#[/b] [color=#FF0000][b] Flinders Red [/b][/color] [b]#[/b] 2 x HID LightForce 240 Blitz [b]#[/b] ARB Winch Bar [b]#[/b] Alloy Rims [b]#[/b] Hilux Washer Jets [b]#[/b] Stebel Nautilus Compact Truck Horn [b]#[/b] ARB Alloy Roof Rack [b]#[/b] ARB Dual Battery System [b]#[/b] Charcoal Rough Country Canvas Seat Covers [b]#[/b] [color=#0000FF]Suspension:[/color]Autocraft Bilstein Shocks/Struts & Ridepro Coils [b]#[/b] [color=#0000FF]L.E.D[/color] Side Marker Lights [b]#[/b] ARB Onboard Air [b]#[/b] Pirelli Scorpion LT ATR 265/70's [b]#[/b][color=#0080FF]--Custom 3"exhaust---[/color]

Originally posted by pradogxlv621,000kms on these BFG's and they still look like new. Have perform flawlessly and I have nothing bad to say about them at all. I gather I may see over 90,000kms out of the set. I rotate them every 5000kms and run 38psi front, 36psi rear for my 120 prado.
Cheers,2004 GXL V6 and loving it.

Re: Product review : 265/65x17 BFG AT
15000 km on 265/65 BFG. Fantastic! Just done CSR [18 f/22r psi for 660+ dunes], Tanami, Old Andado, Finke, Oonadatta Track, Flinders and Lake Frome [25 PSI on gravel/gibbers.]-6000+km on dirt including mud sand gibbers and assorted other crap surfaces. No problems with these tyres at all. Had similar experience on BFG on 80 Series- 2 sets and 150000 +. I wont have anything else- they are also quiet on the road and better in the wet than grand craps. I run them at 32-34 psi around town-38 too harsh when car is empty. Neil
