Need new tires. What do ya'll think of these?

Post by BayouDude on 10/18/2010, 3:56 am

I caught a flat this weekend and luckily I noticed before leaving the campground. I am leaning towards the BF Goodrich Commercial TA tires in 235/85/16. Load rating is similar to the tires it is replacing plus they won't be speed limited to 65mph. The Michellin XPS rib look great but are a little too much $$$ in my opinion. Any other Cat owners running the Commercial TA's?

I've read over in the WWW.RV.NET forum, that the BFG Commercial TA's are HIGHLY recommended.

Go for them......

Not on the cat, but I ran a set on my truck once; seemed to last forever, nice tire.

I run LT tyres on my cat; they work great.

I've been running them on our Wildcat since May. We've put about 6000 miles on them since then. We'll put about 4000 more on them between now and the new year. I've been very pleased with them.

I had to put a plug in one of the factory (chinese junk) tires last camping trip. Hopefully i can get a set of these after christmas but will need some more jack stands first.

How much are those going for if you don't mind me asking?

I'm seeing $123-$147 per tire on Google. I got mine for $111 back in May. I had my local Discount Tire match the best price I could find online. They have always been good about price matching.

Is 235/85-16 the same size as what on on there from the factory. I've got 15's and thinking of upsizing to the 16's but was thinking about the 235/75-16's.
