Good all terrain tires
New to the forum Just bought an 07 NBS Silverado LT with the 5.3 and I was looking into some new all terrain tires but am not sure what is the best all around tire for the money. I don't want to get to far away from the stock size of the tire 265/65/18. Thanks

a few people on the forum use BFG a/t...i'v read a couple reviews and they were pretty good..most get 50k+ miles outta them...and they do pretty good in the mud..my friend had a set
|
I really like my good year wrangler duratracs, they have a nice aggressive sidewall and the tread is between a mud terrain and all terrain and on the road there really quite compared to alot of mud terrrain tires.
|
BFG all terrain all the way....one of the best tires i've used on and off road. They get pretty good treadwear. I used a set for almost 65k before i got the toyo mt.
|
How is the Road noise on the BFG? Do they handle well in the snow?
|
Have have read consumer reviews on just about every all terrain tire ans BF Goodrich all terrain a/t's got
The best reviews hands down. Inexpensive, great mud, snow, and wet surface traction, long lasting, Nice aggressive look but not obnoxiously loud road noise... And I can get a set of 4 for about $650 off Of the internet. |
In addition to the BFG I like the Bridgestone Revo. They aren't as heavy and more quiet on the road.

Alot of people like BGF All Terrains or Rugged Trails. But for those who know what there talking about, go with Nitto Terra Grapplers. You were concerned about the snow, Nitto Terra Grapplers have the highest rated handling in the snow. I have a set of Nitto Terra Grapplers, and ive had a set of BFG A/T so I can vouch for them. Here's how I would compare them.
-On the road, they are fairly close. They both hardly make any sound at all, and both handled very well. The BFG's had a little tiny bit of a skidding problem and I spun my wheels frequently when the roads were wet, but it was not a noticable problem. -In snow, the Nitto's are quite a bit better. The BFG's werent bad, but compared to the Nittos they sucked. -In mud, the Nitto's dominate. I cant say enough about the mud traction of the Nitto's. I have a 2WD V6 truck and because of my grip on my tires I can get through some stuff that V8 4WD trucks cant with their crappy tires. -In apperance, they are fairly close, dependant upon what you like. I personally like the Nitto's better, because of their sidewall design. It gives them a more aggressive look. Some people like the clean look of the BFG's better. You'll just have to check out some pictures -In cost, they are fairly the same. I think the BFG's are like $15 cheaper per tire. But for having tires for that long, the $60 extra for the entire set is well worth it. In short, I highly advise looking into Nitto Terra Grapplers. Because your tires are 265 I assume you have a 4WD truck. I would reccomend getting 285/60/R18's. If you do then you will be amazed with the results. |
Another vote for BFG All-Terrains hands down! You won't find a better all around tire.
Nittos will wear much quicker & are louder. but they look bad a$$ |
Look at the reviews on Tire Rack. Revo 2's rate higher.
