Always makes me chuckle a bit on these tire threads -- OP asks about a specific tire, and gets a bunch of comments about all kinds of other tires. Weird.
BFG KO Tires, good tires, good grab, nice highway ride, good in dirt and off-road. Have not tried the 275 or 285, but been riding on 265's for probably thirty years in all kinds of terrain -- mud, snow, dirt, gravel, pavement -- off-road, on highway, and on at least five trucks. I'm getting ready to put the 275's on my 2015 GM 4x4 2500 in a couple weeks.
It came with Generals (265s) and we put 12,000 miles on, just to see, but am convinced the BFG KO are in the near future (a few days or weeks) -- Have been thinking about the BFG's ever since I bought the truck ... the difference in ride and performance is significant.
Waiting on a check to hit - then BFG tires will hit the next day!! The only negative I see, and can easily live with -- a little less wear time, so you may need to replace BFG sooner due to a little softer rubber. As I understand it, the new compounds may eliminate that, but ride a little noisy - but can't say for sure until I ride on these myself.
In thirty plus years of BFG, I've had only ONE tire issue, and BFG addressed it under warranty pretty quickly (after one reminder :) )
