So I've been shopping around for tires for a while now and I like the BF Goodrich A/T KOs ALOT. I went into the local 4wdparts today and they said they were on serious back order from Michelin. I've been looking around and it seems like no one else can find these tires anytime soon. Does anyone have a hook-up or know of a place that could hunt down these tires for me?

As an alternative I told my guys to get me a set of Bridgestone AT Revo 2s. From what I've been reading they seem to compete with the BFG... but they just don't look as rugged. Any other good alternatives out there?

Seems to be the case around here too. My father in law and brother in law managed to get some last week, but the have connections. :wink:

An alternative would be the General Grabber AT2s. I had them on my old explorer and loved them. They even get rated better than the BFgoodrichs, while costing less also.

I would look into Nitto Terra Grapplers, Toyo Open Country All Terrains, or the Goodyear Wrangler Duratrack. Those are all very good, aggressive all terrains.

What size are you wanting? Just hit www.tirerack.com and 3 days later the tires will be sitting on your front porch.

OR... if you are wise you'll just pick up some General Grabber AT2s. It's the BFG tread pattern perfected, with more rugged sidewalls, a 60K tread warranty, and at half the cost. Can't go wrong with them period.

The AT2's with the mileage warranty are "P" rated tires,there LT rated tires do not have any mileage warranty.All the BFG AT's are LT tires.
