This may be the best tire review on the internet. Thank you.
We got a bit of snow down here in Southeast Virginia last weekend and I was surprised at the way my Renegade AT5 performed! Shocked the isht out of me! I was in 4H 95% of the time. My next set will be BFG KO2, but I am pleasantly pleased with these budget tires.
Love the review and action shots of the tires in the snow. Great choice to replace my Defenders on my FJ. Its either going to be a new set of the Michelin Defender LTX m/s, (had several sets of those, love them) the Pirelli Scorpion AT, or these BFGs.
Just ordered a set for my '19 Tacoma TRD Off-Road daily driver. I was leaning toward the KO2's but was worried about the tread life. Your videos helped me make up my mind and pull the trigger. Thanks.
How do you like the tires so far?
Love the camera angles!
Nailing it with the camera shots!
Thanks man! It was a ton of fun to shoot!
Thanks for the reviews on the Terrain Trails they have helped me make up my mind to get some, sadly in the UK so can't purchase from your but often in Chicago for work so will order some merch.
Appreciate the support regardless! If you ever have any questions just let us know.
I put them on my FJ Cruiser. I like them. It is an all around great Tire.
How are they in the MPG area? Did you lose any MPG?
what are they like on wet roads? I hear they are good on everything else but not wet roads
Hey I wanted to say thank you. Because of your videos I put the trail terrains on my GMC Sierra yesterday. The big reason why I got these over the ko2’s is that I spend 80 to 90% on-road. The times I do go off road are either in northern mn or in Wyoming so I also wanted a comfortable ride to the destination. Snow performance was also a big consideration as well. The Goodyear eagles that came on the truck were miserable in the snow.
I wish I was closer to your shop, so I could have bought them from you!
Glad you like them! We do ship all over! And if you package them with a set of wheels we will mount, balance & ship them for FREE! Hit us up next time!
@@TrailBuilt This is good to know!
I have them on gx460. They have been great 👍
Good feedback. I'm in the UP running Blizzaks but looking for new set of summer dedicated tires. Got a touareg that is 3 tons....don't plan to tow anything too heavy. Think these would be too soft for a heavy suv?
Great video I just ordered the trail terrains for my 22 taco trd sport and im leveling it with bilstein 5100 should look nice when I'm done cant wait to drive it on the trails and this winter
Sounds sick! You should upload some photos to our gallery once everything is done! www.trailbuiltoffroad.com/add-wheel-offset
I was a huge fan of the rugged terrain TA's and was sad to see them discontinued. When these came out, I had them put on my new 22 4Runner TRD Pro's right away. Love them! Great in the snow. Great in the rain. Very quiet for an AT. The only problem I have had is that they retain flat spots for the first 5 or so miles. The tire needs to be warmed up. Would definitely buy again.
Ahhhh ok I've noticed some vibration in the first few miles everytime I leave the house. This explains why! Thanks!
How would you compare these to the Cooper AT3 4S tires?
Thanks for taking the time to make this review. Like any tire review though, we normally don't see a follow-up after 2 years of all-season use. Tires get hard and lose the ability to grip wet or snowy roads over time. Unlike ice tires which are great for below freezing and even below zero but almost melt above 50F, normal all-season tires can be unsafe once they get older, even if you don't drive on them much, the compound just doesn't stay as soft as they did the time of your tests. The last two sets of tires on my Jeep, Goodyear DuraTrac's and BFG KO2's have a tell tell signs. They get NOISY.
Glad we could give a pretty accurate review that you guys find useful! Yeah I have heard those KO2's can get a bit loud!
Got ten miles on mine. Pretty good so far!😊 I like the old school raised white letters on my 2021 Silverado, havent had white letters since my 89 Bronco. I’ll check back in after a few grand.
How are the tires running now? Any significant loss of mpg or decreased grip in the rain? ty
I went ahead and bought a set of these for my Dodge Durango. Since last time I bought tires, we moved, had a couple of kids, and we just are not off road any where near as much as we used to be. We drive a ton more straight highway miles now than ever before and we wanted a tire that was quieter, was made for more on road driving, and had a longer tread life. These tires are quiet do great on dry roads, and have done well in the rain. I got them then a few days later we immediately made a 5 hour trip. No shaking, they felt great, they are quieter than the KO2’s. I hope they do well in the snow. That was one of the things I loved about the K02’s they were great in snow, in mud and grass, and good on the highway.
Well after this season we would love to hear how they handled for you in the winter!
@TrailBuilt how did they do in the snow?
@@dslotman120193 They did really well in snow! I have been extremely happy with how they did in 1-8 inch snow and varying degrees of slush. These are the right there with the KO2s in snow and are much better on wet roads and in slush. I have not driven them in really deep unploughed snow nor do I plan on doing that. I think they would do well even in deeper snow, but I will say they are Not a True Snow Tire. If you live somewhere that gets a ton of snow or where you are out often on untreated/unploughed roads, I would still say to get true snow tires. However for many places these tires are more than good enough in snow!!!!
Just got these, I can't wait to see how they do in the Ohio snow. The Maxxis razr were excellent in snow/mild off road that these replaced. BFG are much more quiet on highway.
You will have to update us! We are up in Wisconsin so I am always interested to hear how certain tires perform in the winter.
How do these compare to the Discoverer AT3 4S?
Now that this video is a year old, how many miles are on these tires, and how are they performing with the extended miles on them?
Thanks or this. I'm looking for replacement tires for my hybrid F150's factory installed Dynapro AT2s. I live in Eastern Ontario. The regular AT2s aren't 3PMSF and most 3PMSF tires are much heavier than the Trail Terrains. So, these are now #1 on my list.
Okay, I recently purchased 2 of this trail terrains for a 2007 chrysler voyager (minivan). I installed them in the front because there is where it all happens (traction, power, cornering, breaking, etc).
So far so good. They grip great, ther perform incredible during breaking and they are quite good on the rain. I don't see snow ever since I live right in the center of Mexico. Actually, they've performed so good that I'm gonna purchase a set of 4 for a chevy colorado 4x4 z71. The size I am using on the voyager is 215/65 r16 (original size) and the one for the colorado is gonna be 245/70 r17 or 265/65 r17. I will let you guys know how it behaves once I get them on the colorado.
Yeah,I'm also interested in their MPG,if they are decent for not killing MPG.
This is how a tire review should be done
Thanks for the review. Was reading a lot of pretty harsh reviews on them as far as wet traction. Could have been the old version of the tire though. Some reviewers said they were horrible in the snow, but again could of been the older version of the tire. I bought them and was kind of having buyers remorse. But I noticed just about every tire I researched a few people had something terrible to say while others said how good they are.
Absolutely, glad you could find this one helpful! I feel like you will have that sometimes with products where the reviews could be split and that will 100% sway your opinion haha!
I am interested in these tires as a possibility for my 2018 Silverado 1500. I am sick of the OE HT tires it came with. I am most concerned with winter traction, wet traction and tread life. I love the look of the more agressive tires such as the Toyo Open Country but rarely off road and have a bit of a tight budget. I do drive on gravel from time to time. As far as towing I occasionally tow up to a 6000lb trailer. Lately I have been hauling some heavier around 2000lb payloads. It is not an every weekend thing but on average once every couple months and only for around 15 miles. I have been doing this hauling with Goodyear HT tires. I am having trouble choosing between the expensive Open Countrys, cheaper Kenda Klevers AT2, Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT, Goodyear Wrangler AT and these Trail Terrains. Do you the Trail Terrains would work my truck? Would they be too light duty?
I'm currently running the Falken Wildoeak A/T Trail on my Crosstrek. Great tire. Was planning on getting more when the time comes (probably a few months) but then I found these for about $35 a tire less. Think I'll give them a go.
How'd you like the Wildpeak?
@@parkerjardine7785 Fantastic. Ended up with a different BFG for now but I wouldn't hesitate to put those WildPeaks back on. One of the better tires I've had.
Wildpeak has been great! Running them since 2020 and seeing if they can be beat, but finding it hard to find a better option. Though BFG Trail Terrain seeming to be a close option.
Would you be putting these on a kia sorento awd OR the Continental ContiCrossContact a6x?
It rains a lot here in NC and I just wanted to know how well does this do in rain?
These vs Falkin Wildpeak ? Which would you chose for an SUV that will go into the snow?
Are these better on snow and ice covered roads than the KO2?
Ran these on my full size Range Rover in heavy and severe weather up at Mammoth Mountain over Christmas. Had bought them for the trip and occasional off road use. Was so much better than my older all seasons in snow. Also very quiet on the road which is important to me and why I did not go for a more serious AT. Great compromise in my opinion.
I want to put a set of these on my maverick
Good day! Have you tried these on soft and/or wet sand? How do they perform? Thanks! Great review!
I have not ran these personally! However, from what I have seen online they perform decently in the wet sand!
I'll stick with the open sidewall. If you have to run chains they are less apt to slip
Can we get an update video for these tires
I'm currently running Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx on my Tacoma. I take my truck off the pavement maybe once every couple of months, and when it do its not like rutted out mud bogging or rock climbing. Would these be a good replacement? My cooper's have been great but as they've worn I've gotten vibration out of them and they've gotten noisy. I'm looking at something a little less aggressive to help with MPG and highway characteristics.
Thanks!
This reply is late to the conversation but I currently have the ST Max’s on my Ram truck and the Trail Terrain’s on my Land Cruiser. My off roading is similar to yours (occasional and light). I have been much happier with the Trail Terrain’s than the ST’s. The ST’s work great in the fields and dirt trails but are heavier, noisier, worse handling on-road, and much worse in the snow/ice. I highly recommend the BFG’s.
What about ko2?
How do the falken wildpeak at3w compare to these
I love the look of this tire. Regarding the absence of voids on both outer treads, when the tire ages doesn’t the math change with respect to hydroplaning? I’m no tire or physics expert, but I can’t get around my uneasy feeling about that.
I was down between these or the Cross Climate 2's for the Crosstrek. Decided on the CC2's because they are a bit lighter than the BFG's. They get installed next weekend, just in time for NE winters
How have you liked the cc2’s? We live in new Hampshire and have been running the cc2’s on our awd sienna van and we love them.
@@BM-vj1px Simply put, the best tire I've ever had on a Subie. I expected them to be good in the wet and snow which they are but I was shocked with how well then worked in the dry. Compared to Yoko's that were on it, the CC's are like a performance tire.
My wife has a 2014.jeep compass. Im in Oregon. Trying to decide between the bfg trail terrain and Falken wildpeak at trail.
I'm in Western Washington. We got a good foot of snow, where we usually get none. The roads were a mess. These tires handled just as good as my snows did when I lived in South Dakota.
Can you do a update on these tires? And also are you guys gonna do a video on the Ko3 tires
We sure are!
We drive a 2014 Toyota Sequoia for our family adventures, road trips and grocery getter. We may pull a 5x8 enclosed trailer with camping gear. What do y’all think? Are the Trail Terrains idea for that size vehicle and function or are the KO2s better fitted?
You would be fine with either choice! The Trail Terrains have yet to show any issues for us!
Fuel mileage will be bad with all bf’s!
Would Trail Built ever do any kinds of ice driveing test's once Lake Winnabaygo is safely frozen?
We’ve talked about it a bunch!
Getting them installed on my Tundra in a couple hours! MN Winter with all season street tires stinks with the Tundra.. haha.
How are these with MPG?
I dunno. I can find out once I get myself out of the ditch.
SL rated?
Thanks for this update. This are new but how is the winter/snow traction compared to the older tried and true BFG KO2?
I have them on a tahoe and ko2s on my silverado. I would call them very good and the ko2s excellent hope that helps
I have had them both and the trail terrains is much better on wet and in snow .. I will never buy a KO2 again
I live in Minnesota and I'm debating between the Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail and these BFG Trail Terrain for my Rav4...can't decide.
Check "pro contact' by continental tire.
Also they make snow/winter or summer only tires (made in USA!)
Just ordered the BFG Trail Terrains from Costco today they were on Sale👍🏼
What did you pick. Im looking at these for my rav4 as well.
I just put these on my Rav4 today.
@@Oxinder give us a update when you've run them a bit. Would love to hear how they are
I trying to find out witch I should get between KO2 and this.
I drive most on road, but my main focus is winter snow Ice handle
I would roll with these BFG's based on the performance you are looking to get out of them!
@@TrailBuilt This is the exact same question I had. Thank you for posting this video and answering the questions.
How would these be for a Ford Expedition, I don’t tow but it is a heavy suv?
Would handle just as well!
How would you compare these to Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus?
I would go with the BFG's over the Pirelli's!
Will these tires work well on Jeep Wrangler Unlimited vehicles?
Don’t see why not…
Would any body pick these over Falken at3w? I'm also in Wisconsin. Do a lot of forest road running up in the UP. Need good trail and winter tires.
I personally would run with these BFG's but that is my opinion! The AT3W's are a great tire but these might be more suited for what you are looking to use them for!
I have ran the falken at3 and are really bad in slush and noise when half used will not buy them again .. great for off-road and deep snow
I agree falkens at3 are really bad when worn half way in slush or light snow and ice forget about it ..
Great all round tire but if you highly value wet traction, I would look somewhere else. All of the comparison testing I've seen has these at the bottom on wet performance.
Be nice if they came in 285 70 17 E load.
😁👍👍👍👍
How were they as far as mpg? I don't want to kill my mpg.
Not terrible! I have read some reviews online from people running those BFG's and I have seen anything from averaging 21 mpg to 17 mpg. A lot variable's play into effect though like the size of the wheel and tire package as well as if the truck is lifted!
How they doing a year later bud??
I don't think he has them on his setup anymore but I do know he absolutely loved them!! I remember seeing a clip of him taking them through what seemed like knee high snow 😅
These or Falken Wildpeak AT3W P rated ?
Tough choice! Both are fantastic tires...We have yet to find any real negatives with this tire...
I can't speak to the AT Trail, however I can to the Falken AT3W. The AT3W's are phenomenal. Just installed these on my 21 Cherokee Trailhawk. Changed the vehicle totally here in snowy Colorado. Highly recommend. Hope This Helps.
The trail terrain are way better in light snow water and ice .. if heavy on off-roading then go with the F at3
These do look like a good option for a city smaller suv type vehicles. For bigger trucks and full size SUV’s I’d have to recommend the Cooper AT3 4s and the Mickey Thompson baja boss AT
When your tires are 50% or less, they are not safe in winter regardless of how much sipes they have or the type of compound.
Tnx for video
Dragged on to make the ten minutes. Cut to the chase pls
Carhartt? Are you trying to get canceled?
This was filmed before the news of the decision.
@@TrailBuilt gotcha. I would edit it out. People get crazy!
No good can’t stud them!
