Question A/T or R/T

What's the difference? How's the ride quality on one vs the other? I am close to buying wheels for my truck but am not sure on the tire type yet... I def don't want M/T - they are too loud. if you have photos please post them up.

A/T all the way! I have 35x12.5x17 BFGoodrich T/A KO2's and LOVE them! They are slightly stiffer than stock, but they are a 10 ply 35" tire haha. Just a slight bit rougher than stock (barely noticeable) and zero road noise. I'll definitely buy them again once they run bald. From what I've read too, you can get 50k-60k miles out of them with proper inflation and rotations.

Not "technically" a 33 unless you're running 15's. You can use this site (https://tiresize.com/calculator/) and it'll tell you exactly what size the tire is. For example, a 285/65/18 is 32.6" x 11.2", so just under 1/2" smaller than a 33. 305/65/18 is 33.6" x 12".

Here are all the tire sizes BFG makes in that tire according to Discount Tire's website.

Right at a 33... good size. I'm more of a "more tire less rim" kinda guy. That's why I have 35's on 17's haha.

Looks good! I almost couldn't get 17's, they just barely cleared the brakes. All you need is "just barely" haha.
