Default Going back to stock

Alright so in tired of getting **** gasmilage and loss of power on acceleration having this 3057517s so I'm going back to stock with 2657017 I'm torn between general grabber AT and bfgoodrich AT I can get a set of the general grabber AT for 588 or bfs for 800 , and I'm pretty sure C load rating is fine for my truck because I rarely rarely tow , so any opinions on tires would be great and anything else

If you can afford BFGs get them. They are a great tire!!! I ran the 37x12.50R17 M/T and they lasted a long enough to be put on 3 different vehicles. I put 13K on them on a supercab totaled it bout a supercrew and put another15Kish on them and sold them to a guy with a H2 cause i went to a 38x15.50, if BFG made a 38x15.50 i woulda bought another pair.

Pretty much any at or mt is gonna hold some size of rock and throw it. For the op since you want mpg and power back without doing a gear swap I'd go with the lightest ones.

You prob won't notice any difference between the tires except maybe your wallet being a little lighter with the bfg

I had the 265/70r17 grabber at2's and i loved them. Quiet on road and excellent traction for an allterrain. Handled very well in rain. I put 7000 miles on them and they showed nearly no wear (i went for 35's). I would go with the generals!
