BFGoodrich trail terrain tire

[F50]

Anybody test the BFGoodrich Trail terrain tire? Curious how they are.

I have the hybrid. My goal is to maintain the mpg as much as I can. But a decent looking tire is important to me. I hate the looks of all seasons. I occasionally drive on trails. Trails as in dirt roads or gravel. So I do need a little extra grip and some resistance against rock punctures. So an all terrain is not needed. The AT tires are wayy too heavy heavy. Most starting at 34 lbs vs the 26 lb stock continentals. I found these tires BFGoodrich. Seems to be a good in between a AS and AT. They weigh just under 30 lbs. lightest tire I can find that also provides looks and light trail assistance.

I have them on my EB AWD. Decent tires. Never go offroad, bought them as winter tires mainly. No complaints so far.

Those tires show up as being 34 lb on tire rack, the same weight as my Toyo Open Country IIIs...in a bigger 245/65R17.

Nice. Did not know you could do this on tire rack. Thanks!

No noise ratings. Hmm…

The on-road all-terrain tire segment is perhaps underappreciated. Everyone seems to want the gnarliest off road all terrain tires but those tend to be noisy and have poor road manners.

The on road all terrain segment combines the best of a good all season m& S rated radial with off road chops. The result are tires that are quieter with good road manners and wet traction that still retain good performance off road and in snow.

My impression is that the Falken wildpeak A/T trails are somewhat better than the BFGs. The tread pattern is similar to but tighter than the A/T 3W. They are also a bit lighter than the BFGs. I had narrowed my search down to the wildpeaks and the BFGs and settled on the falkens.

IMO the Falkens look the best, too.

Wow that looks great. What size?

I am running 235/60/18 Nokian Outpost APTs which weigh less than 29lbs and are EV rated.

Looking at these. Its the 235/65R17. Those are 29lbs. Not for sure how the 225/65R17 weigh more at 34lbs. And maybe the 235 cant fit? If I am stuck on the 225 width, then yeah these are not the best option at that weight. There are better options then.

That wheel color looks fantastic with the blue.

Thanks! They are also 10lbs lighter each than the stock BAP 18s.
