The BFG is the same IIRC. I have a set of ProComp ATs in the 31" flavor and the only thing I don't like is their mud traction. I have had mine for around 15K miles and they are wearing nicely. Just make sure to keep 'em rotated about every 5K miles and they should go almost every bit of the rated 50K.Beachmonkey6 said:

personally, I like the procomp's. I have had both (33x12.5x15) on my TJ, and I like the ride quality of the procomp's. We were at Paragon in PA during/right after an ice storm and my brother in law was using a new set of them and they were impressive. He was the only one with an A/T, and we thought he would struggle more than he did. As far as I am concerne, they are the tire I will keep on my daily drivers. I also like them for towing a boat around, much better response in the rain and stopping. These are just me observations though..they are both good tires. Procomp does have the buy three get one free though until oct 31.
I run the BFG's and get a lot of miles out of them. But like any other tire the key to making them last is keeping the correct pressure in them, not what's rated on the sidewall, not what the tire shop puts in them. Tire pressures will be different for front and rear and based on actual weight of your rig. Also balancing and monitoring for uneven wear.

alright well i just found out that procomp alls should last about 50,000 miles and BFG alls last about 40,000. Has anyone had both these before? Which one gives better tracktion in the mudd?

I have a set of ProComps and my step-brother had some BFG ATs before he got his MTs. Both my step-dad and step-brother swear by the BFG when it comes to ATs. I don't really see much difference between them and the BFGs. They both suck in the mud, and both are great street tires.Beachmonkey6 said:
I'd think the BFGs and ProComps will last closer in comparison than that.

Trust me, go with the BFGs and get a warranty.
You have no idea how many more PCs I get back than BFGs and have to change out on warranty.

If you want mud traction in a AT then forget about the procrap. BFG is the way to go.

I've had the BFG A/T's for about a year and a half. I had the Dunlop Radial Rover R/T's before that. I got about 65,000 miles out of those, and didn't rotate them that often. They were, however, louder, and harsher while driving on road. I'm guessing that by estimated mileage the PC's are a little harder than the BFG's so they may give a slightly worse ride, but since their tread appears less aggressive noise shouldn't be that big an issue. I'm quite happy with my BFG's, It snows up here and I wanted something with a little more bite than the PC's offered. I also like their looks better. If you do mostly street driving, the PC's are probably better for you. If you want all purpose, I'd go with the BFG's. If you want something different, check out the Dunlop R/T's. The above issues aside, they were even better in snow than the BFG's, and did pretty good in light mud. Just my 2 cents.

after my expierence with pro-comp shocks
i am unwilling to use any of their compoonents ever again.
oh - and im on my 2nd set of BFG ATs - not because i wore the first set out, but because i went to a larger size...

I've never ran a all terrain but my dad gets 100k out of his bfg's. I have never heard anything good about procomp tires but thats just me.
I am about the replace my BFG AT's and have 75,000 kms ( 46,500 miles ) on them. Have always got that much out of the 3 sets I have used.
To get the right pressures you should use the 4 psi rule. That is the pressure must go up 4 psi from cold to running temp. If less tha 4 psi increase you started too high ( not enough flex in the side walls ) and vise a versa.

All out of those, Rev.
All we have are the rainbow stickers that Hinkley left behind that day.
That will have to suffice.
