Agreed on the Pirellis, glad to hear you like the BFGs.

Why can't Ford offer BFG TA/KO's as an option, I see the Ram Power Wagon has them as OEM tires. Guess they save a lot of buck's using light P rated tires and wan't the better mpg's also.

I changed from the 20" stock Pirellis to the Nitto Terra Grapplers and have been very happy. Ride is a little firmer but not rough. They look a lot better imo.

i went form 275/65/18 p tires to 305/55/20 LT tires. i must say if you want a smooth car like ride, stay with the P tires. if you want increased size, looks, and a stiffier ride (but not hard) and loose 1 to 2mpg -- go with LT.

Ill be honest, if im on a smooth road, the lt tires are great and handle good. but if you are on a concrete paved road thats a little ruff, the LT tires will jounce you a little.
