Outer Limits 4x4 Board

just wondering if there was anyone out there who experiences constant balancing issues with the above mentioned tyre. they seem to be forever loosing lugs and become unblanced causing wheel wobble in gq.

any tire that looses lugs will become a bitch to balance. I'd be looking at what is causing the lugs to rip off. Maybe your doign more than the tires are designed for, and maybe Simex/Interco's would be a better choice for you.

FWiW my BFG MT's have about 3 housebricks of weights per wheel to balance them. BFG didnt give a toss.

Ive got 33 x 12.5 x 15 bfg muds and they needed 4 house bricks to balance them
if you lifted your gq it makes them more sensative to balance issues
tyres are great, but just dont drive at 80kms or 100kms or they vibrate

thanks for that , makes sence i only have 2 house per wheel. 35 12.5 15
im not the only one bfg dont give two hoots about. cheers mick.

I have 33 x 10 on my GQ and have never had a problem with the tyres not balancing. They haven't had lugs torn off either. Maybe you have other alignment issues that need addressing.

dude try tunning at lower pressure if you are eating your lugs...

The last set I had on my GU 2 needed almost no weight to balance, 1 needed about 150grams and the fourth was almost impossible, never had any undue issue's with lugs being torn off though (I say undue as due to lack of traction aiding devices and some rocky climbs .. there was possibly some overly judicous use of the right boot .... )

Maybe these people go wheeling cruel i know, sorry Grimbo, was too easy.

Had 285/75/16 BFG MT's on my GU with no troubles at all other than some crap in one of the beads, but i can't blame that on the tyre.

Are you sure its your tyre and not the rim?

If lugs are being ripped off, the tyres must be cr@p - end of story.

Well, that's the argument about Coopers...

4500 rpm low 2nd and geographically only making a few meters per min on wet shale .. I was glad to only wreck a few lugs instead of tyres in total ..
If I was lost lugs on dirt touring, like several people I know of with coopers .. I would be that would be a crap tyre

i never had a problem with my BFG MUDS but i do know that BFG did have a problem with tyres about 2 years ago that most tyre shops could not balance them and they did have a rep going around and cutting the bar code out of the tyre so they could not be used just check to see if you still have the bar code on your tyre if not they should be scrap

Dont waste your money on such a shite product ' had mine on for about 10 months and I have blown a full set of 35's and three of them were un repairable they are pathetic. Blew one in the bush and one on a sealed road and two on a gravel road.

I got my BFG M/T's balanced the week before last and on one wheel alone needed 150 grams of weight. It does drive alot better though.

Had no balancing problems with mine. Had it up to a dollar forty on the bitumen and no shakes. They're only 33/15's though.

I am on my 2nd set of BFG muds. Had no problem with balance on the first set but the current set (285/75r16) need to get balanced about every 6 months. Not to bad IMHO. They do get a fair bit if use offroad . I have never had a lug rip off

this is 2nd set of 35's in 3 yrs. 1st set were ok as they were the orig. pattern. bought new rims with new rubber and have nothing but headaches with bfg. bottom line , lost me as customer , will try maybe simex or goody MTR , for sale 35 12.5 15 bfg m/t x 6 70 % tread.
