New BFGoodrich tires!

[Matt-PB150]

Had my local dealer install BFGoodrich 225/65/17 Trail Terrains today. I’m really digging the white letters and beefy look!

They ride smooth and very quit. So much better than the Pirelli Scorpions that came on it.

They look good!

Yes, that's what I am running on my Badlands except I went to 235's. They perform great off road too.

How much did the speedo go out? I'm getting due for tires and want to go to 235's

We also recently put BFGoodrich Trail Terrains on my wife's BS/BB, 235's. My wife states she didn't notice any difference. I have the same tires on my F150 & when she saw the RWL she wanted them for her BS.

I also have them on my F150 and love them.

We ran BF Goodrich on all of our vehicles for a very long time. When it came time to replace the tires on the JEEP we went with Toyo tires. They were significantly less expensive. The Toyos are much quieter than the BF Goodrich KO2 they replaced. The Trail Terrain weren't on the market a couple of years ago.

I need to replace the tires on the F150 and the Trail Terrain look like they might be a good option.

There is a lot of tread life left on the Badlands Pirelli Tires.

I went to the Tire Calculator Online to see the comparison of the 225 65 17 (original) vs 235 65 17. Looks like the speedometer will only change about1.1 MPH. Here is a link.

Those look so nice! When I replaced my tires in October, I tried to explain to the guy that I wanted something beefy, but he stuck with what the computer told him would suit my needs, since I don't really do off-roading. So boring is what I ended up with.

This is my wife’s vehicle so it will never be off road. These aren’t aggressive really, they just look the part.

Next time try Discount Tire. I think they understand that some buy tires for the looks as well as what they might be used for.

Boring tires will usually save you money. But, every once in a while, I really need traction, and better tires really make a difference.

I was at the shooting range last week, and drove through a sand pit caused by a recent flood. An F-150 saw my tracks and tried to do the same. He dug in his back wheels and had to put it in 4WD to get out. I laughed quietly. I love my Badlands.

A rig like these are bought partially for looks - so why not run a tire partially for looks too. Went with the 235's linked in my sig.

Our BS/BB is my wife's truck & the chances we need them for snow or for off road are slim at best but when she saw the tires on my F150 she wanted them for her truck. With the RWL she said they looked great & wanted them too.

That’s exactly where I went (America’s Tire, which is what Discount Tire is called here). I should have been more insistent and not just accepted the guy punching in the model and typical use to pull up the options.
