I'm not a big fan of bfg's either after my friends telling me they got 15k out of them. Both were on newer model duramax gmc's. Out of the ones Mtn.man mentioned, i like the coopers and Toyo's.

BFG's are expensive but I will keep buying them based on my experience. I had a set on my last 3/4 ton and got almost 60K on them. Probably could have got 65 but winter was coming and we live in the hills so it was time.Quote:

Not sure what to think of the nitto selection. They seem awesome and are relatively cheap. Almost seems too good but a lot of guys love them. I'm a little concerned with tire weight on my current pickup as gas MPG is something I'm trying to preserve. I'm almost due and I'm 95 percent sure I'm getting BFG'S.
It seems like with some tires it's really hit or miss. Ex. The huge difference in miles out of the bfg's.
Also, if you need to check out prices, here's a few websites that I looked at before buying. I ended up finding the best price and then having discount tire match that.
Keep in mind tirebuyer has free shipping on all tires to most areas.

I get 55k out of my BFG A/Ts that are only D rated on my cummins towing 8-10k almost daily. My dad get 65k on the same tire but E rated.Quote:

I use them for my bimmer that doesn't get more then 6,000 miles per set but the warranty says 30.

I have a set of new BFG AT/trail (something like that) waiting in the garage. A little less aggressive than the standard AT's. Bought mine on craigslist for 350 dollars mounted on some ugly gray steel rims. Guy wanted pretty rims and bigger tires on his new truck. .I was getting quoted prices of over 1000.00 for 4 new tires. Bought these and have some cash left in my pocket.
I will say that my truck, Dodge 2500 has had only two sets of tires in 122,000 miles. First were factory Michelin and the ones on it now are Michelin. I think if your looking for high mileage tires these can't be beat on a heavy truck.
just get a 10 lug conversion and mount so real tires on the damn thing [Beer]
