... snipped ... We've run on BFG AT tires for years. We carry a 3200 lbs Truck Camper, and often towed a 3200 lbs cargo/bike trailer. We run LT285-70-R17E ... 75 lbs in rear, 70 lbs in front when loaded and hauling.
These too have been recommended. Are you happy with these tires? What's the impact of the more aggressive AT tread?
Been buying BFG AT since about 1985, for my construction trucks - several GMC 2500's - and my TC hauler - a 2500HD. We like BFG, obviously ... We'll admit, they wear a little quicker than others claim on Trucks, but can't compare because we always buy BFG. Last couple times, we bought the BFG AT Ko2 ... and have good ride, low noise, and appear to wear well. BFG makes a more agressive tire as well, a mud and snow tread. We do not need that in Florida. We did buy the M+S when we lived in snow country, and found them excellent as well.
BFG is not cheap tires, but with our lives riding on them, we choose to save money elsewhere. Last time we bought the 285's was OTD $1365, all four mounted and balanced - about a year ago.
We believe BFG are good value for the money, but other tires are just as good, maybe less maybe more. I'd stay away from the bargain - cheapo brands.
