OK, OK, so I'm a nerd - 5/13/2008 5:56:21 PM    Spike555 Posts: 2099 Joined: 6/22/2007 Status: online I am sitting here watching Magnum P.I., it came in the mail from Netflix today, it is from 1980. Magnum was chasing some bad guys and he was driving a Jeep Wrangler, it had B.F. Goodrich AllTerrain T/A's on it, so my question is, how long have these tires been around? _____________________________ If it ain''t leakin'' it must be empty! Yes, one man can change the world.

I have one just like it, my wife bought it for me when we were dating. So does anybody know any history about the BFG AllTerrain TA? _____________________________ If it ain''t leakin'' it must be empty! Yes, one man can change the world.

If I remember correctly back when we had Jeeps we put on one of the first versions of the BFG AT on our CJ replacing the GY Tracker AT, but that was early 80's, long long time ago so I could be incorrect _____________________________ 2004 Disco II SE7 (in reply to Spike555) Post #: 4

Though the tread looks the same the tires have changed my last set that I got in Feb 08 are different than the set they replaced that where six years old and the same size number wise 245/75/16. They are said to be Gen 3 A/T's They are smaller than the old ones my GPS showed that the last ones at 100 miles on the odometer was 106.5 and the new ones are 104.0. I call BF Goodrich to find out and no one knew so they will e-mail what they find. _____________________________ I do not need the National Geographic channel I just look out the windows of my Land Rover Discovery code name Romulus Prefix-N or 1996 (in reply to Spike555) Post #: 6
