Looks good man. I am actually debating those. I want to get AT's but I refuse to spend almost $300 per tire for BFG and those look pretty similar.

Looking good. IMO, trucks should have blackwall tires - shows off the wheels more.

My only concern with General tires is perhaps a bit dated, but my experience with the original General Grabbers series was unusually short tread life.

Ill tell you what @ around 180 per tire, They are a bargain 60k tire IMO.
They have no road noise, and look good too. Ive only got 1200 miles on them so far.
I priced the BFGs also and was not will to pay 300 per tire either, even thought the first set last 60k
We will see if they add up against the BFGs...

Don't know if the correlation is still true - but the rule of thumb I go by is to multiply the Treadwear rating by 200 - so that a tire with a 300 rating should be good for approximately 60,000 miles before it gets down to the wear indicators, on average.

Good luck, and keep us posted on how these work out!
