New range of BF Goodrich tyres

[jay see]

Cheers for the replies guys
I'm dictated by my finances. I reckon I can get dynamics for under 100 bucks each. @MB if your looking at 70k+ I should be looking at 100 with the type of driving I do.

Hey Jaysee, yep, I always get my Dynamics & BFG's from Performance Tyre & Auto Lilydale for $100 per steely these days. Here's my photo testament below on how tough they are as a combo !

BFG's, all the blokes seem to choose em ;-)
Crossing the old Jardine, maybe not :-) !
Sweet truck all the same, beast :-) !!!

Bit too early to tell properly but the first somewhat cruzy weekend (B1-B2 / Mt Margaret) out on the brand new KM3 wagon muddies certainly has impressed so far. Still running the KM2 bigger versions on the ute but dare I say for an unlocked stock family truckster they didn’t seem to skip a slippery at short times beat

Yeah same here, so far been very impressed with the KM3's smooth as on the road and seen to perform very well in ther gravel and slop. .

Keen to hear feedback about wet bitumen grip of these. Have stuck (excuse the pun) with MT's muddies for their overall great bog and wet tarmac grip vs BFG AT's of old which I found too hard for wet roads, letting go and all.

Far from a tyre expert me Plassy mate but these new muddies like Rossco do seem to also early days handle our gumtree oiled highway corners slowly quite well. As mentioned way too early to tell in the 3.0T wagon but do know the old school BFG A/T’s on our little Navara were always sketchy at best although in fairness have lost count of now big km’s hard rubber great value had

Cheers Marko. Hard rubber scares me from old days of BFG AT's and wet roundabouts, that's why I looked elsewhere. Don't really care too much about hard rubber giving great straight line life. I want them to grip and I'm a conservative driver. Happy to hear of BFG improvements nowadays though if that's the case. I'm going back only 10 years with my opinion.

EDIT: And I'm referring to BFG AT's I originally had on the GU not muddies. My MT Baha MTZ's have never let go and maybe BFG MT's are similarly softer compound?

Just a 2 cents worth comment.

Having now been in the Kimberley for 11 months I've had the chance to check out which tyres are most popular among folk who live up here, particularly those who like to use their vehicles off road, bearing in mind that a lot of the country up here is pretty rocky & even when it's not it is still often burnt. Rocks & burnt trackside bushes represent a staking threat to sidewalls & conserquently the most poipular tyres seem to be those with the best sidewall protection. Most popular are BFG's & second are Toyos.. AT's are what get used, MT's are pretty much only seen on tourist cars & draw asmirk from the locals who know that the larger gaps between the tread blocks make them more vulnerable to punctures.

The tyres I have Bridgestone D697's are seen, but less so on the cars of folk who like to get away from the tourist routes, primarily (as I have discovered) because their sidewalls bulge more than other brands making them more vulnerable to sidewall damage unless higher pressures are used, which really is not desirable. Even on the horrible corrugations of the Gibb River Road itself I ran 39psi cold/44 or 45 hot in my rear tyres & that is a compromise just to try lift the sidewalls up out of harms way, & that is one of the less rocky tourist routes - would far rather drop the pressure lower, but it's too risky - one rock can ruin your day!

BFG's & Toyos have more rubber sidewall protection & importantly bulge less allowing lower pressures to be used. To be fair the Bridgies have proven themselves to have great puncture resistance in the tread area.

Some tyre reviews refer to sidewall protection (extra rubber), but I am yet to read an informed comparo which includes the comparison between sidewall bulge at various pressures (& vehicle weights). If you know of one I'd be interested in a link if you can.

Must also positively say for our old BFG AT’s too Cuppa mate that our somewhat paddock bom-Navara’s set albeit horrible hard on the highway have certainly endured hidden rusty star picket posts and last century barbed wire wraps
