Has anyone had any experience with the Goodyear Fierce Attitude M/T tires? I haven't been able to find much talk about them at all. I saw a set of them on a Tahoe the other day and they definitely looked aggressive.

I need to replace the BFG AT's (285/75-16) on my 2006 Duramax Crew Cab 4X4. I swapped them from my 1500 with about 20,000 miles on them when I bought the 2500 and have put another 30,000 more on them since then. They have been a great all around tire for occasional towing (10,000 lb boat) and street driving. They were awesome in the snow and equally good in the mud but I have heard rumblings about the BFG AT's quality, wear life and increased price.

Any recommendations on either the Goodyear and/or the BFG's would be much appreciated.

I have never heard of them. Tried a set of Goodyear Wrangler M/T on my last Duramax and they wore out really fast. The tread/style looked similar to those.

IMHO, Goodyear truck tires suck on a truck. I do like them on a boat trailer though.

BFG or Yokohama

Yeh ran Good Year A/Ts once, never again.... ****ty ride, noisy, and poor wear. Oh yeh and on an suv once, I was away and told the gf to get Michelin A/T's for it, they were out so they put on Good Year RT/S or whatever their called, ****ty ****ty, I didn't care at first but then after they started wearing ughhh, and traction sucked.

I personally love the Terra Grapplers all around on HD trucks, excellent ride, wear, and traction.

Default Strange???

The weird thing is that it appears as though they have been out since 2009 and are made by Goodyear but they have there own website http://www.fiercetires.com/. Even more strange is that when you select a retailer it lists several local places like Sears and Sam's Club but when you look at the listing on, for example the Sam's Club site, they are described as Dunlop Fierce Attitude tires.

I thought for sure there would be someone on here that had at least tried them or known of someone who had. Price wise they are middle of the road from $210-$250 each and the handful of reviews I found are very positive.
