I also run the BFG A/Ts. Love em. They look great and are very quiet.

Tecrep, with gas at 4 bucks and more. There is not a sole out there who isn't worried about saving on gas somewhere. Yeah we drive 50g trucks but that has nothing to do with saving money elsewhere. You could attach your quote to half the threads in this forum. Every performance post goes back to fuel economy for the most part. You may just be wealthier than the rest of us. As for the original post, I left me factory tires on. The shop wasn't going to give me much for them and I'm not a fan of giving thing away. I'll change to the LTX Ms2 or the mich. AT2, I had the AT2 on my last truck and love the mildly aggressive look and the ride. Tread warranty was 60,000.

I had the Michelin LTX MS's on a Silverado (I know... I know!), and quite honestly I feel they are the best all around truck tire made IMO. If you are an aggressive 4 wheeler, then obviously they may come up short. But for everyone else they are up to the task. Superior quite ride, wet handling, they last awhile and I think they have the perfect look (I do realize quite a few around here prefer the more aggressive looks of the Nittos etc). As far as winter handling, they were great the first couple of winters while treads were deep, but as any all season tire goes, they get harder as temperatures decrease. Dedicated winter tires even make sense for trucks, especially you guys running the factory 20's. I will wait until the Goodyears start squealing making turns, then it will be time to buy the LTX's.

Too many flat's with P rated truck tires, had much better luck with LT tires avoiding punctures. The stiffer sidewalls make the truck handle better on winding road's also. Ditched my Pirelli's at 2,100 miles and went with Nitto Terra's that ride smoother then the Pirelli's.

Well wheels and tires are ordered should be here tomorrow or day after. Went with Michelin LTX A/T2's, wanted the michelin ride with a little bit more agressive of a tire. Cant wait to get them on and see how it all looks, will post pictures when I get them on.

Are you selling your OEM 18" wheels? If so I'd be interested.

I like Nitto Terr Grapplers. I have no experience with them, but hear they are good
