I’ve own these tires since January. They are installed on my 2022 4Runner. It’s quiet on the road and fits well with my everyday work commute. I took them up to Lake Tahoe in late January when it was cold, 25-18 degrees and when most of the roads are icy. It performed well, it gripped and I felt confident driving in any conditions. This past weekend I went back to up Lake Tahoe but this time it was snowing. My 4Runner performed excellent and with these tires it felt at home just soaking up the snow, ice and cold pavements. No signs of slipping when going up the mountain roads. There is about 2,590 miles on these tires and the thread still looks new. No signs of thread chipping. Great everyday tires and an excellent weekend off-road warrior!
@@blaudick these tires handle bumps and imperfections on the roads very well! It’s a very smooth ride much better than Michelins. They can handle easy off road trails with ease and snow conditions without problems.
I have had great success with these tires. I have them on my 2011 Jeep liberty. They do everything well. I've taken them on mild offroad trails and through big puddles. Just recently I plowed through a snow bank and drove through 12 in of fresh powder with these tires. I drove up hills in the deep snow and didn't get stuck once. These are very capable tires. I couldn't be happier with them.
That's pretty good. I have the k02s with 30000 miles on them. I got them siped and studded for snow and they perform amazing in the snow. I used the smallest screws I could find, drilled them into the tire and now they are great on ice. May get a set of these for overlanding
Got them put on a week ago on my 17 Grand Cherokee here in WA state. We got 10ish inches of snow in an area that doesn't usually snow. Then an inch of rain today. These tires haven't skipped a beat. Switched from a set of Toyo Open Country AT2s. Much happier.
UPDATE 1 year later (October 2022): I've had these installed for a year now for my 4th gen 4runner (4WD). Got about 12K+ miles on them so far. Took it for a round trip 2500+ miles road trip over the spring and I've driven them in South lake Tahoe during the spring snow storm they had back in April 22, 2022. Overall these tires are very nice and held up to their claims. My only dislike about them is how soft the inner tread block is. It's definitely got good traction on wet roads and snowy condition, but reliability wise though some are chipped off already from just your typical freeway potholes and occasional sharp rocks. Noise wise, they're actually pretty quiet but once you're going 85mph like say at Idaho freeways, it's got some noise, but it's not that bad. The wear so far is your average all-season type of tire kind of wear for 12k+ miler, I'm guesstimating they'll only last me for another 40K miles or so. Original comment (October 2021): Got these installed last week for my 4runner, and then a day later drove in a crazy rainstorm here in Washington. Handling and grip is SO much better than the all-season tire I used to own (and currently own for my Corolla which I got installed a month ago). I’ve never owned a “T/A” tire before nor a 3pmsf one. Was originally going for the KO2’s cuz of the looks but I drive on the highway 90% of the time and I feel like I made the right choice here 🙏 can’t wait to see the other tests!
@@gregscoleman Idk, I blast my music all the time lmao. okay UPDATE (4 weeks later): Have it now for 1,500 miles and testing out the noise level just to see. I do blast my music all the time, but for test purposes, I turned it down. Noise level is not bad surprisingly, though it’s still noticeably a tad louder than my previous all seasons. Can’t compare it with All terrains like the KO2’s or M/T tires though as this is my first mild off-roading tires-but transitioning from all season to this, it’s extremely nice especially in snow and extreme rainy weather.
Had these installed on my Range Rover. Did well in heavy snow in Mammoth. They are also very quiet on the road and have a nice look. Very happy so far.
@@rupman27isback no whistling. Slightly louder than the OE Bridgestone H/T I had on but with music, can’t hear them. I’ve taken them on several trails and through heavy rainfalls and they handle great. I’d recommend them
Lots say about out the sides. Have they not seen how much comes out behind? Tyres need snow as the friction hence the sipes to grab hold of it and use it against lying snow.
These seem perfect for my 2010 Rav4 4wd. I can't do too much off road but I slip and slide in the mud like crazy on highway tires trying to get to some of my fishing spots.
Just put these on my 4Runner replacing the previous Nitto Ridge Grapplers. These are smoother and steering is lighter. The Nittos at 51,000 miles were slipping on wet surfaces but seemed more planted in cornering and soaked up big bumps a bit better. These brand new BFG Trail Terrains seem to jolt the vehicle a bit more and has more lean in corners. I’ll have to adjust my driving habits a bit, but so far I’ll take the quiet smooth ride.
A really tempting new tire. I've had KO2s and loved them. I never noticed road noise to be an issue with them and thought the on road driving experience, inclusive of rain, was great. These trail terrains seem to be about 13 lbs lighter per tire, which is cool. I also like they are 3TMPS and have about 10k miles longer warranty on them. For roughly $10 less per tire, I'm just not sure that's enough for me to get them instead of KO2s. I get they aren't supposed to be a direct compete tire to the KO2, but for me, I'd rather had the best I could get for when/if I need it. The look of the KO2 is also just unmatched. I'm not due for new tires until later this year so maybe I'll change my mind if I see more reviews of these trail terrains crushing it in the snow and if any longer term reviews show noticeable impact on MPG.
I love there's A/T's with more of a road focus. I'd like to see how these compare to something like the Continental TerrainContact. The 3PMSF rating might just put these on top but ride comfort/noise is definitely a concern on my daily driver.
Bought these about 2 weeks ago for my 2021 4runner SR5. I was looking for a great dirt road tire that was 3PMS rated and these fit the bill nicely. The road noise compared to the stock Bridgestone Dueller all seasons is not noticable but the traction improvements are. I do a lot of forest road exploration in Wyoming, (year round) and needed something that had good traction on a variety of surfaces but I also don't want to kill my mpg or on road handling. So far so good.
Those Dueler HT's are horrible tires in mud, snow, ice.....only good for dry streets. I had them on my 2020 4 runner SR5. I dumped them as soon as I could find a good deal .
Had these installed 3 days ago on my 2017 Chevy Colorado, amazing difference in ride quality from the oem Goodyear wrangler fortitudes. Very quiet on the highway no louder than the oem so far. Excited to try them on the Missouri snow or more likely ice storm lol.
My KO2s have been awesome in the rain and even torrential rain with standing water. They are on a Yukon XL with more weight in the back than a pickup. I might run these if they are great in the rain. Waiting for a wet review!
Just put these on my 16 F150 XLT 2.7 and could not be happier. This review is one of only a few available on this tire. I searched for a 3pms that would hit the 275/55/20 mark that was not an A/T and basically this is the only one that fit the bill. Tires are way quieter than the touring ones I had on previously with 40K on them. Had them in a nor'easter two days ago. The day I had them installed. Even without them being worn in they skipped only once on my way home in a fairly deep puddle on the highway doing 70. So far for me a home run. Looking forward to your snow review!
Looks like a great tire for most people. A lot of people go for a more aggressive tire but don't really need it as they are more Overlanding forest roads and county dirt roads rather than hard mountain passes but I see these being pretty good for that too. The only thing I see that would be a disadvantage is on the ends of the tire surface as they don't have the blocks. Any word on the MT Baja Boss coming in 16"?
These were on the top of my list for my Toyota 4 runner...but being so new , these tires were not on sale at any tire places near me. I ended up getting Yokohama Geolander AT's buy 3 get 1 free deal in November from Yokohama, and they are also 3pms rated 60K and similar specs. japanese truck/japanese tires I figure?
These and the wildpeak AT's seem to be closely related as far as being a good light duty all terrain tire. Looking to put either one of these on my wifes subaru outback XT.
These tires perform exceptional in heavy down pour Washington wet rain. I switched from the BFGoodrich KO2 which is a better off road capable tire but not so great with on road manners. The Trail Terrain is more suitable for my type of needs. Great on road manners but capable of light duty off roading. Another great tire if you want a more capable tire are the Falken Wildpeak ATW3
@@Brian-fo3ep based on my own experiences I think the Goodrich Trail Terrains performed pretty good on wet weather road conditions (western Washington rain). A lot better than the KO2 and Nitto Ridge Grappers. Of course I have 4WD, always maintain my vehicles maintenance, and don’t drive like a lot of the drivers
I just bought these for my 2000 Tundra… it’s 2wd so I didn’t see a point in dishing out $300/tire for A/T KO2s but I’m looking forward to replacing my old worn out Michelin road tires with these. Thanks for the reviews!
Thinking about getting these on my Silverado Z71. It has Goodyear Duratracs from the factory and they are very noisy on the road and spin easily on rainy surfaces.
How does these compares to Michelin Cross Climate 2 offroad and Ontoad? I have an Acura RDX SHAWD 2020. I see the Cross Clinate 2 is V rated vs these ones H, but that’s fine. I am more interested in snow and wet condition traction and mileage
I have a 2008 Range Rover L322 HSE with 19” wheels. I want to do Emogene Pass & Engineer Pass in Colorado and eventually do Black Bear. I am looking at the new BFG Trail Terrain T/A, Toyo Open Country ATIII, and Falken Wildpeak AT Trail. (They don’t make a 19” in the AT3.). So out of these, which one do you think would work the best. I probably do 90%-95% of my driving on the road, but off roading in Arizona will be more moderate to medium rock climbing, like these Colorado trails. Thank you.
Glad to see the same highlander! It's our family camping vehicle for pulling a small teardrop. How are the BFG Trail Terrains on the rain/wet roads? I heard the KO2s could be scary in wet conditions and was wondering if these were different.
I would also not trade my KO2´s for these. But i think you´re looking at this from the wrong perspective. These are not meant to compete with the KO2´s.
It is fantastic on road! Just drove from Wisconsin to Arkansas through rain, sleet, snow and everything in between and they were fantastic. Road noise is little to none. If you're looking for a great CUV sized tire these are the ones to look at right now.
Really considering these over the KO2's for my 2017 Grand cherokee. Its my DD but i need the snow performance and light trail performance as well. The KO/KO2's ive always had on my pickups served me well but i dont like how they sling gravel.
I would maybe stay with the KO2's only because you are looking for a tire that will perform in the snow, however I wouldn't completely count out this tire it can hold its own I just know the KO2's kill it in the snow!
These appear to be in direct competition with the Falken Wildpeak AT Trail, which I had very good results with in my Subaru. Any experience with those and thoughts on how they compare in real life?
Currently running Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S on my 2019 Jeep Cherokee. I do mostly highway driving and mild off road driving. How would these compare to these Trail-Terrains?
do you think these can withstand the offroad conditions like Moab on heavier vehicles such as GX460? I really like the style and low weight of these tires, but I go off road and some of them have harsh rocks and I'm worried the tires would tear!
I’m in fl, we have very heavy rain storms and very hot summers, I’m driving a 17 forester do you know if these would be a great choice, granite for now I am doing highway miles, but will end up going to the beach sand driving and a little bit of Rocky gravel roads.
I've seriously had been looking for tires for over 8 months. I've considered the Michelin LTX AT2, and Bridgestone Revo 3. I don't do much off roading other than pulling my pop-up, or my quad to places I want to ride, my truck just gets me there. I don't want to lose the quiet comfortable ride because we do road travel in my truck. I currently have Firestone LE2, though quiet and smooth I need a tire that can get me to the places I camp and ride (boonies) what do you think about the trail terrain compared to my other options. I greatly would appreciate your advice. Buying tires suck! So many choices, and everyone has their opinion. I was impressed that you put them on your highlander and they seemed quiet and smooth. A Tacoma guy from Kansas🌾
@@ampalxsportlb2061 I have the Revo 3 on my 07 Xterra and 21 4Runner. I've been happy with them so far. They are a little loader over the LE2 (previous tire 04 Pathfinder) and you will hear some tire growl, but it's not obnoxious.
Are these directional? Looking to get a set of 225/65/17’s but I’m only seeing the Raised White Letter versions. Could I just flip them around to the other side which I’m assuming is all black? Thx for any clarification you can give.
Have you guys noticed a noisiness to the tires that can be felt through the steering wheel? My set has had that happening since after the tires broke-in a bit.
Hello there, I really love the look of your Higlander! I'm wondering what wheel and tire size you run on that beauty because it looks just perfekt. I'm about to buy a new set of tires and I guess I'm gonna go for the Yokohama G015
Here is the link to those specs for that Highlander! www.trailbuiltoffroad.com/wheel-offset-gallery/1362892/2012-toyota-highlander-black-rock-detour-adf-leveling-kit
@Trail Built can you comment as to the ride comfort and bump absorption? Is it comparable to a typical HT tire or maybe even closer to the Michelin Defender in that aspect? Thanks
They have a very solid ride! However, I have seen that they handle all right in wet conditions. With that being said the tires are extremely quiet from inside the vehicle which is also a plus!
Thanks for the very informative review. Much appreciated. I have a 2020 Tacoma TRD Off-road. Current tires are the stock OEM Goodyear Wrangler All Terrain Adventure with Kevlar. They have performed fine. This is my daily driver but we do like to drive on WI forest service roads a few times a year and if we go on vacation once a year to as place with some mild to moderate off road trails we will do a few. Such as CO, UT, TX. Nothing hardcore though. We do tow a small pop up at 1,600 pounds. I was thinking of the Falken Wildpeak A/TW3 but this review makes me wonder if the Trail Terrain A/T is a better choice. Maybe better ride on the road, quieter, and better MPG. I want the tire to be capable off-road but don’t want to over buy for my occasional use. Thoughts? Would the Trail Terrains be similar to my OEM GY’s? Thanks!
I would say the Trail Terrains would be your best bet based on what you are looking for! However, I still really enjoy Falken products but only because of how the handle in the snow!
How are these doing now that we’ve gotten some snow? I was looking at the Falken AT Trails but in the size I want these are looking like a solid option. They’re certainly lighter than the Falkens and I don’t hate the KO2-ish looks.
I have had my BFGoodrich Trail Terrain T/A tires on now for over a month and driven in a snow storm in Canandaigua NY over the Christmas holiday with good traction . The snow was not over 3 inches so I can not tell you how they are in deep snow . They performed great on slick iced roads where I did a few break tests with good results. The 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk
Would these be suitable for a full size SUV like a GMC Yukon or Chevy Tahoe? Or would it be better to go with the beefier KO2's? I don't really do off-roading much, so primarily it would be for road use.

Hey Josh, I'm running Geolander A/T right now and I love how quiet they're but I want something a little more durable on trail but keep the quietness, how are those compares to Falken wildpeak at3w and Geolander?
Have Wildpeak AT3 on Grand Cherokee Trailhawk. Offroads like a billygoat, but a little loud on HWY and got 25k miles out of them. Putting on BFG trail terrains tomorrow. We will see how they are. Loved my KO2s on a full size bronco years ago before they were called KO2s:). Hopefully these areas durable and a little quieter.
Very similiar. Both formatted for SUV's and small trucks. Both offer protection in all weather with some offroad capability, mostly suited for weekend warriors and small trail explorers
Tough to say, might have to do some research from people running them online. I know I have heard they are quieter than the KO2's but I would go with what the masses online are saying!
It's hard finding good spots here in Wisconsin. Luckily, we have had some opportunities to travel to Tennessee, Utah, Colorado to do some good offroading. As far as here in the midwest, it ends up being what you find on your weekend adventures and maybe Badlands Park in Indiana.
So I live in western WI, and spend about 10-15% of my time off road and nothing serious.....gravel and some small rock type backroads is all. Mostly Wyoming, Utah, Nevada etc. I drive an F150 Supercrew with a V8. I notice you recommend these for "small pickups" like the Ranger etc. Why not the F150/ Silverado etc ? Any particular reason ? Thanks !
BFG Trail Terrains will not be available in any Light Truck sizes and if your truck still falls within the weight limits of the load ratings available with the payload and towing capacities of the Trail Terrains, then by all means they can be used on a pickup truck, but what we've found is for truck owners who take their trucks off the pavement will generally prefer at least an "LT" rated tire.
@@TrailBuilt Ahhhh....Makes perfect sense. Thanks. Finally some solid and specific info on the internet !! Great videos too....really well done. Keep them coming.
@@rds990 Sir, they already make tire sizes for some F150's. My '18 Screw with max tow takes P275/55R20's with a 113 load index, and these come in that size. In fact, they'll be perfect for it. I'm 99% on-road. I need quality snow and ice capability, and I need to be able to manage boat ramps and gravel roads. For me it's these, the Cooper AT3, or the General Grabber A/TX. I've no idea which one I'll select. Luck to you, -d
Handle their own! Some of that does vary on the build such as, height of suspension, wheel offset, etc. Performance wise on the rocks though they do handle their own!
This type of tire is probably what I actually need. But the sidewall looks way to passive and I want that aggressive look. For that reason I wouldn’t even consider this tire as an option. Even tho realistically this type of tire is what I’d actually need. Just some remarks from a potential customer. They just missed the mark on the look in my eyes.
I can respect that. I would just caution you on overlooking a tire that fits your application for aggressiveness. Sometimes when you try to go more aggressive for looks it ends up putting a loud, noisy tire. Just a thought. That being said we can definitely help you find a tire to fit both your application and aggressiveness. Hit me up at thurston@trailbuiltoffroad.com and I can throw some options your way
Hmmm… not my KO2 experience at all. I drove through the backside of last year’s hurricane while trekking from Tennessee through Southern Missouri in my ‘18 Tundra on 285/55/20’s. The kinda rain where you turn your wipers off because they made no difference. I can say the KO2’s never blinked in all that. I live in Western CO and we don’t get much rain here so my rain data is limited. But i pull a travel trailer and have pulled it over winter Mountain passes, at night, in blowing snow with as much confidence as you can have doing that, thanks to the KO2’s. So I am very interested in these Trail Terrain’s for my Acura MDX AWD now that I see them on the Highlander.
KO2s are really dangerous on wet asphalt. While still looking for new tires (as I cannot get any of BEST tires here in Europe... OR they have too low speed index of just about 100 mph, which is too low for my daily commute), I trew away KO2s, sold them while thay had still some thread left, and put on some 7 years old 70% worn out junk, and they outperformed KO2s by huge margin. Then I put the EU version of new Wildpeaks AT3WS on and those too knocked KO2s out in first round, especially on wet. But hands on, KO2s were bulletproof, have not had flat ever, and I've abused them really hard.

I had these installed on my WK2 two weeks ago. Haven’t had a chance to get them in the mud yet, but so far they are doing well on-road.
Looks like a great tire for most people. A lot of people go for a more aggressive tire but don't really need it as they are more Overlanding forest roads and county dirt roads rather than hard mountain passes but I see these being pretty good for that too. The only thing I see that would be a disadvantage is on the ends of the tire surface as they don't have the blocks.
Any word on the MT Baja Boss coming in 16"?
It's a great option for those with CUV's or who are taking light trails to overland and camp.
No word as of right now!
Placed an order today and the install is this Saturday. Replacing the OEM Michelins on my '21 F-150. We are in snow season here in North Central WA.
Awesome! Let us know how they turn out for you in WA!
These were on the top of my list for my Toyota 4 runner...but being so new , these tires were not on sale at any tire places near me. I ended up getting Yokohama Geolander AT's buy 3 get 1 free deal in November from Yokohama, and they are also 3pms rated 60K and similar specs. japanese truck/japanese tires I figure?
These and the wildpeak AT's seem to be closely related as far as being a good light duty all terrain tire. Looking to put either one of these on my wifes subaru outback XT.
Holding off a purchase, waiting for wet pavement and snow review. Had Long Trail TA's before, dangerous on wet pavement.
These tires perform exceptional in heavy down pour Washington wet rain. I switched from the BFGoodrich KO2 which is a better off road capable tire but not so great with on road manners. The Trail Terrain is more suitable for my type of needs. Great on road manners but capable of light duty off roading. Another great tire if you want a more capable tire are the Falken Wildpeak ATW3
Appreciate the feedback! Always nice to hear real testaments from people who own them and use them daily!
I keep seeing people saying these tires are bad in wet conditions, how do you feel about that?
@@Brian-fo3ep based on my own experiences I think the Goodrich Trail Terrains performed pretty good on wet weather road conditions (western Washington rain). A lot better than the KO2 and Nitto Ridge Grappers. Of course I have 4WD, always maintain my vehicles maintenance, and don’t drive like a lot of the drivers
I just bought these for my 2000 Tundra… it’s 2wd so I didn’t see a point in dishing out $300/tire for A/T KO2s but I’m looking forward to replacing my old worn out Michelin road tires with these. Thanks for the reviews!
Thinking about getting these on my Silverado Z71. It has Goodyear Duratracs from the factory and they are very noisy on the road and spin easily on rainy surfaces.
Not a bad option! If you have any questions about them or are interested in scooping a set just let us know!
I just ordered these for my 06 GX.. Up sizing from 65s to 70s. Also going to mount them on some 2010 FJ rims.
How does these compares to Michelin Cross Climate 2 offroad and Ontoad? I have an Acura RDX SHAWD 2020. I see the Cross Clinate 2 is V rated vs these ones H, but that’s fine. I am more interested in snow and wet condition traction and mileage
I have a 2008 Range Rover L322 HSE with 19” wheels. I want to do Emogene Pass & Engineer Pass in Colorado and eventually do Black Bear. I am looking at the new BFG Trail Terrain T/A, Toyo Open Country ATIII, and Falken Wildpeak AT Trail. (They don’t make a 19” in the AT3.).
So out of these, which one do you think would work the best. I probably do 90%-95% of my driving on the road, but off roading in Arizona will be more moderate to medium rock climbing, like these Colorado trails. Thank you.
Glad to see the same highlander! It's our family camping vehicle for pulling a small teardrop. How are the BFG Trail Terrains on the rain/wet roads? I heard the KO2s could be scary in wet conditions and was wondering if these were different.
Just got these on gx460. They look great 👍. Excited to see how they perform
Would be cool to see a comparison video vs the falken at trail
@TrailBuilt Off-Road looking forward to the winter review on these. Any idea when coming?
We are going to keep running them through the winter and should have some updates here or on our IG! Find us on there and we can keep you in the loop!
Not sure I would give up my K02s for these. . .
I would also not trade my KO2´s for these. But i think you´re looking at this from the wrong perspective. These are not meant to compete with the KO2´s.
Once I lift my Crosstrek a bit I'm throwing ko2s on, but these are a great replacement in the mean time.
I like your highlander setup, from a glance, you’d mistaken it for a land cruiser!
need a wet review.
my experiences with KM3 and KO2 are poor wet conditions
Great review. I just ordered them for my 2016 Ford F-150XLT. I’m looking forward to try them
Good choice! Let us know how they work for you!
How can it be good in wet weather with a solid shoulder??
That is what I was thinking
My favorite Highlander gen!!
Badass setup makes me wanna go get one
How did it do on road? Fuel mileage and noise?
Please keep us updated long-term! I'm cross shopping between this and the Hankook Dynapro AT2. Thanks!
It is fantastic on road! Just drove from Wisconsin to Arkansas through rain, sleet, snow and everything in between and they were fantastic. Road noise is little to none. If you're looking for a great CUV sized tire these are the ones to look at right now.
definitely going to try these out when my Wildpeak AT Trails wear out.
Good idea! 👌🔥
Really considering these over the KO2's for my 2017 Grand cherokee. Its my DD but i need the snow performance and light trail performance as well. The KO/KO2's ive always had on my pickups served me well but i dont like how they sling gravel.
I would maybe stay with the KO2's only because you are looking for a tire that will perform in the snow, however I wouldn't completely count out this tire it can hold its own I just know the KO2's kill it in the snow!
@@TrailBuilt Thats the thing....the extra 160 bucks to KNOW what im getting is probably worth it...plus i do tow too and the KO2s are LT lol
These appear to be in direct competition with the Falken Wildpeak AT Trail, which I had very good results with in my Subaru. Any experience with those and thoughts on how they compare in real life?
Costco has it but it has the white letterings on the side wall 🤦♂️
Love your videos cant wait to have my trail terrain's installed in a couple days on my 22 tacoma trd sport
Appreciate the support! You are going to have to send us some photos once they are installed!
Gonna put these on my Mini Countryman
Currently running Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S on my 2019 Jeep Cherokee. I do mostly highway driving and mild off road driving. How would these compare to these Trail-Terrains?
do you think these can withstand the offroad conditions like Moab on heavier vehicles such as GX460? I really like the style and low weight of these tires, but I go off road and some of them have harsh rocks and I'm worried the tires would tear!
I’m in fl, we have very heavy rain storms and very hot summers, I’m driving a 17 forester do you know if these would be a great choice, granite for now I am doing highway miles, but will end up going to the beach sand driving and a little bit of Rocky gravel roads.
great review. very interested in this tire, next to Michelin AT2. How is the road noise with them, and overall comfort on the highway?
How did these do in winter in WI? Asking from Canada
They were fantastic!
I've seriously had been looking for tires for over 8 months. I've considered the Michelin LTX AT2, and Bridgestone Revo 3. I don't do much off roading other than pulling my pop-up, or my quad to places I want to ride, my truck just gets me there. I don't want to lose the quiet comfortable ride because we do road travel in my truck. I currently have Firestone LE2, though quiet and smooth I need a tire that can get me to the places I camp and ride (boonies) what do you think about the trail terrain compared to my other options. I greatly would appreciate your advice. Buying tires suck! So many choices, and everyone has their opinion. I was impressed that you put them on your highlander and they seemed quiet and smooth.
A Tacoma guy from Kansas🌾
These are great! If you need any help ordering let us know!
@@TrailBuilt Thank you for your response. Appreciate it.
@@ampalxsportlb2061 I have the Revo 3 on my 07 Xterra and 21 4Runner. I've been happy with them so far. They are a little loader over the LE2 (previous tire 04 Pathfinder) and you will hear some tire growl, but it's not obnoxious.
@@4x4gear33 Thanks for the info! Appreciate it.
BFG Trail Terrain vs. Nitto Nomad Grappler? Looking for something kind of mild, yet a little wilder than the Continental H/T for my Grand Cherokee.
Are these directional? Looking to get a set of 225/65/17’s but I’m only seeing the Raised White Letter versions. Could I just flip them around to the other side which I’m assuming is all black? Thx for any clarification you can give.
Yes you can flip them.. got them today from Discount Tire and i was given a choice of which side i wanted
Have you guys noticed a noisiness to the tires that can be felt through the steering wheel? My set has had that happening since after the tires broke-in a bit.
We have not noticed that. Maybe check the alignment again?
No noise, no vibration.
These vs the All Terrain KO2 for a 2016 F150 XLT? I currently have the KO2's but have found them to be less than favorable on wet pavement and mud.
These are going to be comparable to the KO2 with a little more emphasis on on-road manners
Hello there, I really love the look of your Higlander! I'm wondering what wheel and tire size you run on that beauty because it looks just perfekt.
I'm about to buy a new set of tires and I guess I'm gonna go for the Yokohama G015
Here is the link to those specs for that Highlander! www.trailbuiltoffroad.com/wheel-offset-gallery/1362892/2012-toyota-highlander-black-rock-detour-adf-leveling-kit
@Trail Built can you comment as to the ride comfort and bump absorption? Is it comparable to a typical HT tire or maybe even closer to the Michelin Defender in that aspect? Thanks
They have a very solid ride! However, I have seen that they handle all right in wet conditions. With that being said the tires are extremely quiet from inside the vehicle which is also a plus!
How good is the traction on snow on curves i need to know before i fork out $1250 w warrentees and mt and balance going on a gmc acadia
Thanks for the very informative review. Much appreciated. I have a 2020 Tacoma TRD Off-road. Current tires are the stock OEM Goodyear Wrangler All Terrain Adventure with Kevlar. They have performed fine. This is my daily driver but we do like to drive on WI forest service roads a few times a year and if we go on vacation once a year to as place with some mild to moderate off road trails we will do a few. Such as CO, UT, TX. Nothing hardcore though. We do tow a small pop up at 1,600 pounds. I was thinking of the Falken Wildpeak A/TW3 but this review makes me wonder if the Trail Terrain A/T is a better choice. Maybe better ride on the road, quieter, and better MPG. I want the tire to be capable off-road but don’t want to over buy for my occasional use. Thoughts? Would the Trail Terrains be similar to my OEM GY’s? Thanks!
I would say the Trail Terrains would be your best bet based on what you are looking for! However, I still really enjoy Falken products but only because of how the handle in the snow!
How are these doing now that we’ve gotten some snow? I was looking at the Falken AT Trails but in the size I want these are looking like a solid option. They’re certainly lighter than the Falkens and I don’t hate the KO2-ish looks.
How is the performance on wet tarmac/heavy rain?
I am interested in finding out how the BFG TRAIL TERRAIN T/A performs in the snow and ice .
We should find out soon!
I drive Stevens Pass several times a week and they are killer. 0 issues with them so far.
I have had my BFGoodrich Trail Terrain T/A tires on now for over a month and driven in a snow storm in Canandaigua NY over the Christmas holiday with good traction . The snow was not over 3 inches so I can not tell you how they are in deep snow . They performed great on slick iced roads where I did a few break tests with good results. The 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk
It seems like the majority of these are being put on by suv owners. I haven't seen many trucks actually running these yet.
Would these be suitable for a full size SUV like a GMC Yukon or Chevy Tahoe? Or would it be better to go with the beefier KO2's? I don't really do off-roading much, so primarily it would be for road use.
What size tire and wheel was used on the highlander featured in the video?
All the info on Josh’s Highlander can be found here! www.trailbuiltoffroad.com/wheel-offset-gallery/1916701/2012-toyota-highlander-anthem-off-road-viper-other-leveling-kit
How do these compare to the Falken Wildpeak AT Trails? Seems like they are both going after the same market.
Pretty comparable. No matter the market, you will always have competitors.
What’s the difference between a 4.09 and a 4.56? And what are some pros and cons to both?
Hey Josh, I'm running Geolander A/T right now and I love how quiet they're but I want something a little more durable on trail but keep the quietness, how are those compares to Falken wildpeak at3w and Geolander?
If your looking for something comparable to the Trail terrain but more aggressive and trail-ready would shoot for the Wildpeak.
Have Wildpeak AT3 on Grand Cherokee Trailhawk. Offroads like a billygoat, but a little loud on HWY and got 25k miles out of them. Putting on BFG trail terrains tomorrow. We will see how they are. Loved my KO2s on a full size bronco years ago before they were called KO2s:). Hopefully these areas durable and a little quieter.
Are these supposed to be better with gas mileage too? I've heard that going with something like the KO2's you would lose some gas mileage.
I'm thinking the mud you showed on the video had a gravel bottom
How do these compare to the Yokohama geolander AT? I just put the geos on my 4runner.
Very similiar. Both formatted for SUV's and small trucks. Both offer protection in all weather with some offroad capability, mostly suited for weekend warriors and small trail explorers
Are they quieter than the KO2? If so I'm buying it.
Tough to say, might have to do some research from people running them online. I know I have heard they are quieter than the KO2's but I would go with what the masses online are saying!
Solid shoulder will prevent noise from escaping out the side. However, maybe not good on very wet roads.
@@OBCBTTB I went ahead and bought some KO2's for the time being but I am looking forward to this tire for my next pair.
I'm from Northern IL and am looking for some trials to hit. Where do you guys like off-roading in Illinois and Wisconsin?
It's hard finding good spots here in Wisconsin. Luckily, we have had some opportunities to travel to Tennessee, Utah, Colorado to do some good offroading. As far as here in the midwest, it ends up being what you find on your weekend adventures and maybe Badlands Park in Indiana.
So I live in western WI, and spend about 10-15% of my time off road and nothing serious.....gravel and some small rock type backroads is all. Mostly Wyoming, Utah, Nevada etc.
I drive an F150 Supercrew with a V8.
I notice you recommend these for "small pickups" like the Ranger etc. Why not the F150/ Silverado etc ? Any particular reason ?
Thanks !
BFG Trail Terrains will not be available in any Light Truck sizes and if your truck still falls within the weight limits of the load ratings available with the payload and towing capacities of the Trail Terrains, then by all means they can be used on a pickup truck, but what we've found is for truck owners who take their trucks off the pavement will generally prefer at least an "LT" rated tire.
@@TrailBuilt Ahhhh....Makes perfect sense. Thanks. Finally some solid and specific info on the internet !! Great videos too....really well done. Keep them coming.
@@rds990 Sir, they already make tire sizes for some F150's. My '18 Screw with max tow takes P275/55R20's with a 113 load index, and these come in that size. In fact, they'll be perfect for it. I'm 99% on-road. I need quality snow and ice capability, and I need to be able to manage boat ramps and gravel roads.
For me it's these, the Cooper AT3, or the General Grabber A/TX. I've no idea which one I'll select.
Luck to you, -d
How are these in the rain? I had the ko2’s and they were terrible in the rain.
No complaints on our end. Keep good traction and disperse well.
Which one is quieter Falken wildpeak AT trail or this?
I would go with the trail terrain
What has this done for your mpg? I am looking to not destroy my mpg on my Powerboost.
Typically, a small margin, around 1 mpg. It shouldn't affect MPG horribly!
How do these tires compare to the Cooper AT3 4s tires?
What size are the tires on the highlander??
Do you have thoughts on these vs the Grabber APT's?
How are they on rocks like caliche?
Handle their own! Some of that does vary on the build such as, height of suspension, wheel offset, etc. Performance wise on the rocks though they do handle their own!
@@TrailBuilt so is it ok or not? Im afraid of the weak shoulder design vs ko2 ? Whay do u say?
Is this the improved rugged terrain?
Looks a lot like the rugged trail.
They look like my General Grabber atx
Anyone run these on a sequoia?
This type of tire is probably what I actually need. But the sidewall looks way to passive and I want that aggressive look. For that reason I wouldn’t even consider this tire as an option. Even tho realistically this type of tire is what I’d actually need. Just some remarks from a potential customer. They just missed the mark on the look in my eyes.
I can respect that. I would just caution you on overlooking a tire that fits your application for aggressiveness. Sometimes when you try to go more aggressive for looks it ends up putting a loud, noisy tire. Just a thought.
That being said we can definitely help you find a tire to fit both your application and aggressiveness. Hit me up at thurston@trailbuiltoffroad.com and I can throw some options your way
They’re about the same price as the K02’s so….
Good luck finding a set fml
SL RATED?
Thanks but much more offroad footage would be so much better...
Why do you still have a bunch of chrome on the car?? Black wheels but everything else is chrome?? 👎🏽
Just something I don't think Josh has got to yet!
Grabber ATX much better.
We can bet that they will be very poor on wet asphalt... dangerous like KO2s
why
Hmmm… not my KO2 experience at all. I drove through the backside of last year’s hurricane while trekking from Tennessee through Southern Missouri in my ‘18 Tundra on 285/55/20’s. The kinda rain where you turn your wipers off because they made no difference. I can say the KO2’s never blinked in all that. I live in Western CO and we don’t get much rain here so my rain data is limited. But i pull a travel trailer and have pulled it over winter Mountain passes, at night, in blowing snow with as much confidence as you can have doing that, thanks to the KO2’s.
So I am very interested in these Trail Terrain’s for my Acura MDX AWD now that I see them on the Highlander.
KO2s are really dangerous on wet asphalt. While still looking for new tires (as I cannot get any of BEST tires here in Europe... OR they have too low speed index of just about 100 mph, which is too low for my daily commute), I trew away KO2s, sold them while thay had still some thread left, and put on some 7 years old 70% worn out junk, and they outperformed KO2s by huge margin. Then I put the EU version of new Wildpeaks AT3WS on and those too knocked KO2s out in first round, especially on wet. But hands on, KO2s were bulletproof, have not had flat ever, and I've abused them really hard.
