I'm posting here, since this is where I hang out...I had BFG Long Trail TAs on my truck. 3 of 4 separated at about 25k miles; Discount adjusted them and I put on the more current Rugged Trail TAs. Well, 3 of 4 of =these= also separated over the past month, also about 25k miles, and I've replaced all 4 of them. I'm now running my first-ever set of Coopers; Discover ATP, specifically. So far, I'm happy with them, but no more BFG for me...ever. Taking a 1,000 mile trip, starting tomorrow, towing a light FW for a friend. I'll know even more by Sunday.Lyle

Lyle,What pressures were you running those TAs at?What were the mfg. dates?When I wear out my current Michelins I am going to give those Cooper Discover a shot.I used to run Coppers for years on my Broncos back in the 1980s and always had good service...interested to see how they hold up now.

I had a set of Rugged Trails on my work truck. One separated at 17000 miles. Plenty of tread left but I went ahead and replaced them all with the new All-Terrain KO2. These are doing fine so far but they seem to be wearing out quicker than normal. We'll see.

With 6 separations out of 8 tires, I would suspect something other than the tires.

Lyle,

What pressures were you running those TAs at?

What were the mfg. dates?

When I wear out my current Michelins I am going to give those Cooper Discover a shot.
