What mileage have you got out of BFG AT's

[Jimbo]

Just wondering what the average mileage that people get out of a set, I just found the receipt for the 235/70/16's that I have on the Disco, and I've managed 56000 miles...........they are starting to look a bit low now, so might have to consider replacing them, but I reckon 56000 is not bad.

Can anyone beat that ?

I got 65,000 out of a set of bfg's mt they where down to 5mm when i changed them and my local Land rover dealer got 100,000 out of a set of AT 8)  8)

My old Trac Edge tyres got to 100,000miles :D

In the 12 years i have had my 110 i've only ever had 3 sets of tyre's and thats doing 200,000 miles :shock:  :shock:

Our works D90 has done 75k on them and they still have a little life left, I'm well impressed 8)

The BFG A/Ts on my 110 are presently at (circa) 64,000 & going very strong

I'll guesstimate that, barring damage, I could get at least 80,000 from them

So 56000 is not that high  :oops: , a few years back when we had company supplied cars (I now have to provide my own vehicle), I got through tyres at an alarming rate - one Astra used to knock out front rubber every 5000 miles..........I got hauled over the coals on several occasions as the lease company were getting upset !!!!

Depends how low you are taking them...?

SWMBO has got through 3 front pairs on her Mondeo in 77,000miles (+ a rear pair)

When the firm I was working for in the 80's had a fleet of escort vans mine was used for the tyres twice by the transport manager to replace other vans sets, in 65K I wore out one set one nutter only managed 8k...Funny thing was on accross country runs I was usually faster than the nutters!

Mind on me rs2000 10k would have been good on 225/60x13 Dunlop road rally tyres! 210 bhp and  a get a move on  driving style with 'soft' rubber does that, doing Newport Gwent to Southampton and back, via Salisbury plain, every weekend soon got through them, 65mins door-to-door was my best run, wouldn't want to try that on modern roads with scameras and all now though ;-)

Wifeys track edges did just over 40k Rears were still ok but fronts were shot,

On the other end of the scale Got just over a thousand miles from a  front set of yokohama A008r fitted to a MK 1 astra gte  :lol:   No burnouts but left a lot of lines around the bends  :twisted:

Thought Trac-Edges were meant to be rather long lasting as well?

[burgerman]

With hind sight if the previous owners swapped front to rears would have covered a lot more miles, ( maybe 60k ? )

As has been said it depends on when you decide they have reached the end of their life.  Often with tyres I decide they need swapping before the weather gets bad, any one else like that?

Trouble with BFGs is that they could be like that for a year or two more, but when the weather turns you could regret trying to eek that last little bit out of them.  Just ask Lewis how annoying that can be :oops:
