So yup it's who ya know, and we know the tire dudes.

It probably came with the regular LTX AT's Not the AT2's.

Here is the AT2:

Here is the regular AT that probably came with the truck:

We put them on company trucks that were 2 wheel drive. The employees really liked them. They quit getting stuck all the time.

I stand corrected.

I am still a little concerned about the BFGs, because of my bosses truck. If the gravel here tears them up that fast on a 1/2 ton, I can't imagine what it will do with more weight. It will probably tear up any tires, though. Thanks for the web sites to expand my search for cheaper prices.
As to the 10 lug conversion.....I better wait until I get a new one ton before I do that.

I have the bfg rugged trail t/a's on my dodge cummins. I have a tuner and full delete pkg. done so it has tons of extra power and I don't go easy on the skinny pedal at all, they have 11,000 miles on them and they still look great.

This is what I am running on my 2500 Diesel, they have been great so far.

BFG now offers A/T KO in load range E. I avoided them this time them mostly for mileage reasons. Rugged Trail are the least aggressive. I would find out what specific model of BFG your friend got. That much time spent on gravel roads deserves to be riding on mud terrains as they shed rocks better and will ultimately last longer. AT's do generally get torn up by hard gravel road use. It's just the way it is.

I just put BFG Rugged Terrains on my '04.5 Dodge/Cummins a few months back and love them so far.

I tear through BFG A/T (load range D) in 25-30K towing heavy - 30' 5th and jetski trailer, and never did much like the squirm in them over the factory Michelin LTX. The LTX are super great highway towing tires, tough as nails, bit suck worse than a $5 crack whore in the snow and rain.

The Rugged Terrain is a tad milder tread pattern than the A/T so time will tell on traction this winter, but I have high hopes. They Are load range E, have a nice stiff sidewall, look great, and have a 50k mileage warranty!

I have BFG AT KO's, load range E, on my '06 Tundra since I use it to haul and pull trailers; and I have just over 46k on them. I can probably get another 5k or so out of them. Wear-wise, they've been great but they killed my mileage so I probably won't be getting more.

Goodyear Dura tracks, been running them on my F-350 duallie for 2 years, there gonna make it at least one more, over 25k so far. You just have to play around with the air pressure so they don't feel like they are flat. I'm running 75 psi front and 60 psi rear, my truck is around 9000 lbs empty, heaviest was 36k. They are magical in the snow, and only a slight hum on dry pavement.

just get a 10 lug conversion and mount so real tires on the damn thing

You can get 19.5" wheels without getting a 10 lug conversion. They are made in standard 8 lug so you only need to change wheels and you spare will still fit.
It is great advise to get a real set of tires though.
Get a 19.5" tire/wheels and expect 100,000 miles on your 1 ton
If you are not getting 100,000 on a 19.5" wheel/tire on a 1 ton truck your front end and alignment is screwed up.

Ready for the best part??? The tire price is the same as the 10,000 mile tires!!!!

Hankook dynapros

Got almost 50k out of the last set of Hankook Dynapro ATM load range E's on my Dmax. They work pretty good in mud and snow, probably better if I would air them down. Quiet on the highway.
