3-4 week update on the new @bfgoodrichtires HD Terrain tires and we’ve officially put them through a little bit of everything.
Highway miles, gravel, mud, rough backroads, towing, and daily driving — they’ve handled it all extremely well so far. The biggest surprise has honestly been how smooth and quiet they are on pavement considering how aggressive the tread pattern is.
Off-road traction has been impressive, especially on loose gravel and muddy terrain, while still feeling planted and stable at highway speeds. They’ve also been performing great under load, which is exactly what we needed for the RAM 2500.
The sidewalls and tread design definitely inspire confidence on rocky terrain and rough roads, and wear has looked excellent after the first few weeks of use.
Overall first impressions:
- Aggressive look without unbearable road noise
- Excellent traction on gravel and dirt
- Stable while towing and hauling
- Strong sidewall confidence off-road
- Wearing evenly so far
Excited to continue testing them deeper into Appalachia this summer.

No signal, no stress. Just the sound of engines, open roads, and the people riding beside you 🚘 🏍️
Next summer, we’re turning back time with classic trucks, vintage bikes, dusty backroads, and real conversations that don’t require notifications.
So leave the apps behind, grab a disposable camera, and make memories the old-fashioned way. Old Iron is coming…stay tuned.
In the comments, tell us what classics you’re driving/riding.

Happy #4x4day 🛞🛻
Built for the backroads, driven by community. Whether you’re on dirt, gravel, or pavement, today’s for those who take the road less traveled.
Get out. Get dirty. Take the backroads.

Respect the road. Respect the region. Respect each other.
The Backroads of Appalachia aren’t a racetrack—they’re shared public roads that run through the heart of our communities. Drive responsibly, stay in your lane, and be mindful of locals, wildlife, and changing conditions at all times.
All competitive driving, closed-course exhibitions, and demo events are conducted on permitted, controlled routes with full approval from the states we operate in. What you see there belongs there. Not on open roads.
Keep it safe. Keep it respectful. Keep it Appalachian.
