Yeah I got the nitto terr grapplers. I love them and there pretty good in the mud

The bfgs are a great tire. Expensive though. I bought some faulkens a year or so ago. Had good luck with them

I'm on my second set of 305/65/18's BFG's on my 2010. I got 65K out of the first set. Hard to complain about that.

You gotta go white out! LOL, just my preference I know others would disagree. I like the classic sport truck look.

305/55/20 love em. You already bought. Great tire. BFG 's are not the greatest longevity tire but they are good.When bought mine they were as light if not lighter than most others looked at. Will not be disapointed.

Love mine, other than the price. Most expensive tires I've ever bought and I've bought some much bigger tires for previous trucks.

I just priced the BFG in a 33' inch tire with a 20 inch rim and they were 236.00 installed. Some one is trying to steal your money.

I agree. Every morning on my way to work, I have to take a right turn onto a highway where there is lots of traffic and most of the time I need to punch it (let the horses run a little) and when the streets had any kind of moisture on them I had to nurse the throttle a little and almost always broke the tires loose.

Well I recently bought the Toyo AT2's in LT275/65/R18 (6ply) and am really impressed. On the same turn to work in the mornings I feel a lot more confident and there is little to no wheel spin under hard acceleration.

AT2's are great for what I do these days and the little bit of offroading my truck sees I have no regrets on the purchase. Not to mention I saw an increase in my MPG too.
