Less than 3K on them. Don't get me wrong I love the look and stance but my truck never leaves the pavement, so it's rather unnecessary.

As was asked, what level kit you have. Might be the tires but looks like a 1.5" kit.

Hey guys, thanks for the kind words. I have NO level right now all stock. Performance is slightly altered, but nothing major at all. They do ride a little stiffer than the Pirelli's, and you can tell they won't corner as well due to the larger sidewall. My mileage seems to have taken a 1- 1.5 mpg hit, but I'm also not calibrated for the slight increase in size. Overall they look great in person, just the right look I was going for. A little meaty without going too large of a diameter.

I have this tire size on my truck and I am very happy with it. I was going to go with a larger size but I am glad that I stuck with the size that is close to stock.

I'm torn between the GY duratracs and BFG ATs...my only question is whats the difference between the two in regards to mileage. Being the the GYs are only an inch taller and 3lbs heavier.

I swore I wouldnt go bigger than 275/60/20 when I need new tires,before next winter for sure.
But now those BFGs....and the Toyo AT2 keep calling me in the 285/55/20s
Don't need the LT tire in either,gonna take a hit in mpg with either,could definitely use the traction the more aggressive tread has....
One thing the BFGSs are is pricy tho,$400+/tire
$50+ a tire more than the Toyos....
Availability of either up here in bend me over Canada who knows...
Thankful I don't have the need for them right away cause I'm torn
