Just a quick question about what you guys think. I put a set of 305/65/18 bfg all terrains on my 05 with rancho quick lifts on less than 30k ago and I'll be lucky to make it to the end of the year on them. I think it is my own fault as I believe the tire was too wide for the factory Tim I put them on which I believe is only 7.5 inches wide. Now I'm thinking about putting a Michelin at2 on 275/70/18 which is a little smaller in diameter but not nearly as wide nor aggressive but I know these tires will hold up. Do you think they would look like **** on my truck

ive heard several testimonials about the bfg ats lasting for 50k. 305 does seem too wide for the stock 7.5 rims. 285-295 would be as high as I'd go especially without spacers. That wide is going to get tore up by the UCA ball joint/steering knuckle joint. I run 265 and I can barely slide my pinky between. I'm personally considering bfg mts and buying some hub centric 1.5" spacers. I like my stock chrome wheels.
I have the Michelin's on my truck. The tread life is awesome, though not as aggressive as the BFG's. I have had them also.
You will get a better ride out of the Michelins, with little difference in grip.
They are also a great looking tire.
