Theo disco Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Dos any body have experiance with this tires? It is the replacement for the Trac Edge. This was a very good tire, more offroad cappable as the AT but not agressif as the Mud. 30 road 70 offroad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exmoor Beast Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 No but I can thoroughly recommend the BFG AT on a Disco. Ours is on 235/85x16s with +2" suspension. I am just staggered at how good the tyres are in deep mud. Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Sticky on here i believe has used them, he may be along in a minute. can you get the traction in 235/85s? and what sort of ££ are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Baldwin Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Forget them. Go with Cooper S/T instead. The BFG Trac Edge replacement is no such thing. As a true hybrid on/off road tyre, the Cooper S/T is the natural successor to the Trac Edge for my money. Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 The Grabber AT2 seems to be a pretty good tyre too, but I do like the look of the Discoverer S/T, tempted by those when I need some new rubber for the Discovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmatt Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Forget them! we used to have Trac Edge on a works pick up, a fantastic tyre they wore out so we had Commercial Traction's fitted and they were bloody useless offroad they lasted a month before we took it back and had Mud Terrains fitted, Exactly the same handling characteristics as the trac edge. General's are ok but they are a different compound and won't return the same milage compared to BFG's but I bet they are cheaper so Its a matter of choice.

sheeppimp Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I replaced the Trac edges on my old 90 with goodyear MTR's and that seemed a good match. Seemed to last well on road and performed ok off it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far the wear rates look pretty good here but it is early days yet. I get about 25k miles out of a set of BFG AT's on our roads here on my Discovery 2, which would probably frighten most people running them on tarmac all the time if got 15k to 20k out of a set of AT2s then I would be happy. The AT2s are about £20 a corner cheaper at what we are selling them for, which is more than UK prices due to freight, but presumably the difference is much the same over there. One thing that is not in doubt is that the AT2 tyre carcass is really, really strong - as good as or possibly better than BFGs and certainly better than most others. It does very well in the "poke an uninflated tyre with your foot test" which is usually a good indication of strength Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have struggled to get 35,000 out of general's but it depends on loads of factors I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I swapped from 235/85 Trac Edge to 255/85 Mud Terrains by BFG, excellent tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
