My new truck was scheduled to be built yesterday [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]. I ordered the Fx4 option since I wanted the skid plates anyway and I also wanted the All Terrain tires so I wouldn't get stuck on the ranch.
I just finished reading a post on the towing/hauling forum about numerous bad towing experiences with Revos [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img] I'm now crossing my fingers and hoping that these are not the factory installed AT tires [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]
Anybody have any recent experience with factory installed AT tires (if it makes any difference, these are for a DRW 4x4).
Re: Anybody know what brand AT tires from factory?
Mine came with BFG Rugged trails. They came of about 2 days later and I put BFG MT 285/75R16 on. For an AT tire they look more like a regular street tread tire.

Mine also came with Rugged Terrains also. I was told by the dealer that it was just a crapshoot on what you got. He was just positive that they wouldnt be a Firestone tire.

I got the rugged trails but some get the long trails, both will get you nice and stuck.

"Original equipment on many of the world's most popular trucks. Ideal all-season replacement for pickups, jeeps and SUVs. Excellent dry and wet/snow traction. Smooth ride. Excellent mileage.
Authentic all-terrain appearance
Original equipment on many of America's top-selling SUVs
Smooth, comfortable passenger-car ride quality "
I found this info on the BF Goodrich website regarding the "Rugged Trails" all-terrain tire. What about that all-terrain "appearance" anyway? Any thoughts? Doesn't sound like a true all-terrain tire to me. Wouldn't a Goodyear Wrangler be a better tire for on and off road use, wet or snowy, etc????

Nick:
I'm with you on your opinion of this particular tire. I also went to the website and looked up the tire--I caught the "all-terrain appearence" line--sounds like hogwash to me [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bleh.gif[/img]
I ordered the All-Terrain tires because I don't want to get stuck and have seen what often happens to All-Season tires when you get into some mud [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]
I guess at this point, I just keep my fingers crossed and hope that I get a really adequate set of A-T's on my new truck. Gee, would Michelens be too much to hope for [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
