    Just wanted to make a quick note about these. These are the best tires I've ever ridden on in a truck. These came factory installed on my 2005 F-250 6.0L Diesel 4X4 Crewcab and I absolutely love them. I have 79,438 miles on these tires now. That's the best I've ever gotten out of a set of light truck tires. They've been smooth and quiet for their entire life. I've never had to get them balanced or do anything to them ever. All I do is rotate every 10,000 miles. They're great on the highway and in the rain and do quite well offroad for a set of highway tires. Just thought I'd share for those of you who may be looking for tires soon.

    I'm getting a new set tonight, but here a pic from today of the old ones.

    CRAP!!!
    I have those on my dually but only put about 3,500 miles a year on the truck. I've been wanting to lift the truck and put 35's on it but the cost of 6 tires has me waiting until these wear out!!!! 2007 truck with only 10,000 miles on it now so it looks like I'll be running these forever!

    I agree they ride great and make no road noise.

    I've had good luck with that tire too. I absolutely HATE the BFG ATKOs. My 2003 F-250 came with those trail TAs on it. I ran them for about 10k and then. through some larger rubber on it so I could put the BFGs on sweetie's Suburban. I realize these are overrated for the Sub, but it worked out. I know we have at least 75k on them now....they do need replaced.

    BFG would own the aftermarket truck tire market if they would make wider tires than their current offering. Nothing like 14 or 15 inch wide rubber to make your American-made truck resist roll.

    I installed 4 of those on my Dodge 2500 4x4 diesel and so far I am very happy with them. I replaced a set of Michelins that had 85K on them and still had some miles left. They were several hundred dollars cheaper and are much quieter and have a softer ride. Hope they give me the same service as the Michelins.

    Cool. Like I said, I got 80K out of 'em and I'm pretty certain that I easily had another 5K left.
