They aren't too bad as a middle of the road sort of tyre. Get reasonable kms out of them. Only time they are a little bit sad is wet weather. Oh, and keep your vehicle aligned well... they are a bit susceptible to heel and toe, irregular wear if it's out even a little. All in all though, they aren't too bad.

American made 4x4 radial tyres are definately the better tyres on the market. They are made stronger and last longer. The BFG AT is quite a good all rounder. Good quality.
What sort of work are you doing with the vehicle?
What sort of vehicle is it?
Where do you drive it... sand, gravel or mainly bitumen?
What do you want from your tyres?

Trail Marks have been around forever. Soft as butter and puncture very easily. Don't wear all that well either. Cheap as chips though!!!!

Well Ryano.. Sand and bush... so both really. I do drive it every day so thats why A/T.. But it is a MQ patrol Wagon..

The place on the gold coast was selling the trail marks for $294..

And after looking round today i am getting BFG 33/12.5/15 for $280..

So by the sounds of things I would have been Screwed over by getting the Trail Marks..

Cheers Every one

my old man runs these on his long wheel base patrol...not as bad as everyone making out..paid 180 a tyre for 33x12.5x15..makes them a good proposition. basically a poor mans bfg all terrain but my old man aint poor..lol

at the prices mentioned above u wouldnt touch them but for 180 they were almost irresistable
