I think there is enough consensus here... i aired up to 50 ( pressure cold im assuming everyone meant ). MUCH better ride. Also, had an icy/wet commute this morning, and it handled like a different truck compared to day one.
Thanks for the input!

I run 35 stock, because I need more sidewall flex with an E rated tire in the Wintertime

in the summer I run them back up to 50 for better fuel economy

that being said my fuel economy has taken a hit at 35 for sure

Thanks for the excellent comparison pictures. I have been on the fence about this tire and in this size...

Are these LT or P-metric? I've been saving up for a set of 255/75R17's in P-metric.

For those on the fence, I just put 275/70/65 on my truck and very happy. Going from the stock tires to a AT was a decent different to begin with. I just picked up BFG TKO 275/70/18 for $200 a tire at Discount Tire. I kept going back and forth on a 285 or 295, but based on the driving I'm doing I didn't want to suffer too much on mileage. The 275/70/18 price was much better, and the look is good enough for me!

Sweet, glad you like them. We've had quite a bit of snow and they have been great so far.


I just rotated mine for the first time last weekend. So far so good on wear and tear. I did have to buy new lugnuts though because I had a real hard time getting the socket on and off, and even cracked the case on one of them. Ordered the Gorilla lifetimes from an ebay dealer- they'll be here tomorrow.
