Tow vehicle tires

I personally with go with Cooper AT3 tires. My buddy has about 70k on his Tacoma and he will get through winter. I have 55k on my 08 3/4 ton and they still have like 8/32 tread depth (12/32 from the factory). My next set will be the exact same tires.

I'm in a similar situation - I want to replace the passenger car tires on my Ram 1500 with LTs, and plan to do so very soon.
The question about the wheels being able to handle the air pressure is interesting - I never would have thought of that - how would I be able to know?

I have the KO2s. Had them about a year and just a little over 10,000 miles. If they make it through the winter, I'll be surprised. They are wearing out very fast. Even, but fast.

The Discount Tire I bought them from has heard the same. Hopefully I can get some warranty claim to help out on my next set.

These are just a few of the reason why I am considering staying with the BFG.
The BFG KO's I currently have installed are fairly quiet and provide a comfortable ride and I have over 35k miles on them with 6/32 to 8/32 tread remaining, age is the factor on why I will be replacing them.
From what I have read the newly designed KO2's offer a stiffer sidewall then the KO's which I currently have installed.

Why would you want to replace the best all terrain truck tire ever made, and gold standard of the off road racing community, as well as the #1 general off road truck tire made, with anything less???????????????

A lot of tire reviews would suggest different. Still a good tire but has been surpassed by others when it comes to all around ability, wear and cost. Having said that, it's your money!

Based on further reviews and feedback received I believe I will stay with the BFG All Terrain T/A KO's seeing the set I currently have installed have served us well. Now I just have to do some serious price shopping. The price I received at Sam's club for four LT265/70R16E was $1073.03 OTD which included mounting, balancing, road hazard protection and lifetime balancing and rotation every 5k to 6k miles, I believe I can do better if I shop around. Thanks to everyone for your input. :)

The Wranglers that come up are not Load Range E LT tires, have about 1200 pounds less capacity per tire than the BFGs.

Does that matter to you? It would to me, because my truck is a one-ton, and needs Load Range E tires for carrying capacity. But a Tundra maybe doesn't even have the 80 PSI wheels to support a tire with that capacity.

I suspect you can find the Wranglers with that tread pattern and that size in Load Range E, if that's what you need, but they'll likely then be more expensive than the BFGs, probably close to Michelin prices. I've priced the heavier Wranglers in the past.
