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 put those on my Avalanche 2500 on the last go around. They were GREAT tires.

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.

09-19-2009 04:33 PMBFG 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.
