BFG Rugged Terrains?

Anyone running these? Seem to be a decent tire that replaced the 'Rugged Trail' Light Truck tire line. Studying reviews for the last six months and they're mostly favorable. However, as we know, hauling a TC doesn't really apply to most people.

Tire rack specs says they're equal to what I'm already running which are Contitrac LT275/70-18 E load 10 ply @3640 lbs.


  • I ordered them specifically for my Tacoma, in place of the original tires -- so far, very happy with them, after 20,000 miles. I have used them in snow (6 inches), black ice (slowly) , and very deep soft sand, with no problem. Also, they are smoother than my BFG All-Terrains were on my Pathfinder, and much quieter. Not sure how they would be in deep mud, though -- the All Terrains had deeper lugs.

    I should add that with the new tires, I am sometimes getting 22 mpg per tank on the freeway with very careful driving. I was never able to get over 20 mpg with the All Terrains.

    I am running them at 42 lb. in the front and 44 in the back, while towing.
  • I like this tire. It seems to only be in a 245/75/17 size.
  • Have them on the rear of DRW, hauling pin weight of 5er with good results. Have not had them in poor traction situations (thank you mother nature).
  • I put them on my F350 before the winter and plowed with them and had no problems. Obviously, I see where you are from, that you do not have to worry about that! They came highly recommended from the tire supplier that I get all my tires from, over more expensive tires, so I decided to try them. Would definitely get them again when it's time.
