BFGoodrich Trail-Terrain T/A

I haven’t seen much talk about the new BFG Trail-Terrain so figured I’d share my experience for others. It’s designed to slot in right below the KO2 in terms or off-road performance, while focusing more on road manners. Also, the sidewall and tread design make for a good aggressive appearance without being too in your face.

I’ve put about 2,000 miles so far on my set in 275/60R20. These replaced a set of Michelin Defender LTX, and I can barely tell a difference in road/wind noise. Overall, a really enjoyable ride on the highways and city streets.

Dry traction is really good, don’t have any complaints there. Even with spirited driving through curves and bends, it still tracks like it’s on rails.

Wet traction is slightly worse than a straight up all season tire, but that’s to be expected. I’ve driven through downpours, and the tires showed no signs of slippage or hydroplaning except through areas with standing water.

Snow/ice traction is decent. These are 3PMS-rated, and it definitely shows when driving in severe weather. Driving in snow is a cakewalk with limited slippage or traction issues.

Overall, I’m happy with the Trail-Terrains. They come with a 60,000 mile warranty and a 60-day satisfaction guarantee. Only downside is they are only offered in P-metric sizing, but these would be perfect for stock or OE+ trucks for those wanting a slightly more aggressive tire without too many compromises with on-road handling and noise.

 

Nice to hear you like them. I have been looking at these and if they prove to have decent rain traction then I may really consider them. Do you have any more pics with a head on view from front to back? Just curious about their profile from that angle. Thanks.

 

Do you like these better than the Michelin Defender LTX?

 

Looks good OP. I’ve been looking at these tires also. It’s between these and the Nitto G2. This tire looks like it would be better for on road driving.

 

I've been pleasantly surprised as well. They don't flings rocks like the ones from ~20 years ago did. It is annoying how easy I can break the back end loose with them though. Next tire will be defenders for me. Namely because I'm done towing heavy and the only place I needed the tires for just sold. P-rated Defenders are always better on the road long term.

 

I definitely like the look of these more. Still really good road manners, quiet & smooth ride, and better looks. Mileage warranty was pretty comparable too, and these are snow rated as well.

 

Road manners are almost like that of an all-season tire. Road noise is barely noticeable.

 

I haven’t had any traction issues with these in the last month and a half - really comparable to the Defender. These are also P-rated only - the ride quality is indistinguishable between the Trail-Terrain and Defender LTX.

 

Oops … thought we were talking the A/T

 

Thanks. That gives me a great view on those. They look good. Keep us informed as the miles climb on wear, etc.

 

Getting ready to switch to these from the Toyo A/T 3s. I just want a more road tire with while still maintaining that aggressive look. I think this will be perfect. I am currently running a 285/75R17 and going to 285/70R17.

 

@jackienguyener - curious if you have any thoughts now that you've been rolling these tires for about 6 months. It's time to replace my OEM LTX AT2s and these BFG Trail Terrains seem to fit the bill in the capability, looks, and weight departments.

 

I don't have many issues with them so far - about 10,000 miles on them so far. Pretty impressed with them in wet traction, dry traction is no issue. Road noise is slighter loader than they were brand new, but definitely nothing like a mud-terrain. Compared to Defender LTX, I'd say these are marginally loader, but you have to be paying attention to the road noise to notice - if you have your radio on, you won't notice. Gas mileage did take a bit of a hit compared to Defender LTX in the same size; though, these are physically a bit taller and wider compared to Defender LTX, even in the same P-metric size.

 

Now that some years have passed, would you still go with these tires and recommend them? I've already ordered them from my local Costco so I'm just curious how they did for you long-term.

My truck is only 2WD so on-road manners are more important for me. But good handling of an occasional dirt road is also nice!

 

Yeah, I haven’t had any issues out of them. I had to replace one a few months ago for a puncture due to some road construction in my area, but they’ve been flawless otherwise.

My only concern would be wet traction. Not exactly horrible or bad by any means, just worse than an all-highway tire like a Michelin Defender LTX.

Road noise is still quiet even after 30,000 miles and wear is even.

 

My first tank of gas after installing these improved my gas mileage substantially. I was getting around 12 MPG with the tires the previous owner had on it. I got 15 MPG with these. The truck is my daily driver and my commute is all surface streets, no highway, so I was pretty impressed.

 

Good info on the BFG Trail Terrain tires. I am about at 55K on my Nitto Ridge Grapplers and looking to dial back a notch. I really like the info how these compare to Michelin LTX. I am also looking at Geolander G015 and Nitto Nomad Grappler. I would have the Falken Wildpeak AT Trail on my list but they don't make it in p275/55/r20.

I am in Minnesota so the reviews on how the Trail Terrain handle snow and cold are really pulling me that direction. We get plenty of rain too, but you have to give up something with this type of tire.

 

Starting to think about replacements for my Michelin LTXs even though only have 15k, so it will be a while. We just purchased a 24 4Runner TRD ORP and I purchased the Trail Terrains from Costco and sold the Bridgestone Duelers on Craigslist. The mpg did not change and they look very good, and the ride is nice on road. the 4Runner is white so I left the white letters facing out and it looks really good. The Tundra is also white, so if the Trail Terrains continue to impress, I will eventually put them on the Tundra also.

 

Hi, I wanted to see how many miles youve gotten out of the BFGs and how they’ve worn after a couple years in. My stock Bridgestone Duelers are about worn out on my 2022 Tundra, and Michelin LTXs are the front runner replacement.

 

I’m at about 45k on them now, not really any issues to note.

 

Thanks! How much tread do you have left? Or estimate of how much longer you think they will last?

 

I’d say probably another 20k

 

Wow that’s impressive, especially since they advertise it as a 60k mile tire. My Bridgestone Duelers have 32k and just about need replacing, and I’m not a hard driver.
