Tires BFGoodrich or IRONMAN

I switched the Kumho Crugens that came with my 2022 Santa Cruz SEL nonturbo with activity to BF Goodrich Trail Terrain, still at 245/60r18 about 2 weeks ago. The Trail Terrain is a lot more quiet, in fact, I can hear the hum of the engine much clearer now. Great in mild snow and ice, never slipped. It also performed very well in the rain and a little puddle, no hydroplaning so far. Cornering is not at good as the Crugen and needed a bit of correction. The ride is almost as comfy as the Crugen, but I can feel the little road imperfections subtly. I averaged 26.8 mpg on the Crugen, the Trail Terrain set me back a dismal 23.9 mpg.

I have bf Goodrich GeForce comp 2 and they are fantastic in the rain. Not sure if they sell a size to fit the stock wheel but 205 45 16 only rubs on hard corners downhill and it’s lowered in coilovers

Yeah, keep rotating them and keep the alignment good. My BFG KO2s are holding up very well, having 40k miles on them.

When i put on BF Goodrich ko3’s I had much more traction in mud and sand

Alot of people are snobs and your bound to have a bad batch out of the millions of tires sold yearly but modern tires still need to pass DOT certs so there's some form of quality control. Ironman make a terrific set of mud tires and all season sport tires for the price even though they don't last that long.

Put on 285/75/r17 KO3s. I didn’t add a lift or level kit, wanted to try it out first. Absolutely love the look and initial feel, can’t wait to try it in the snow this winter and sand next Spring.

IME the bfgs will probably ride better than the generals but both would be decent

Only have experience with the KO2s. They’re overpriced and get quite loud as they wear and sometimes have balancing issues, especially as they wear down. But I’ll be damned they last forever.

If you have an electric car or plug-in, the BF Goodrich are complete ass. I’ve been noticing my experience and other owners of different brands that our range has dropped more than 20%.

I too just replaced half worn ironman tires with dws's on a car I just bought. Wet grip on the ironman was some of the worst I'd ever experienced on a tire with tread still on it.
