They are soft to start with, they will wear fast to half way then turn into hockey pucks but thats how they get the mileage from them. They will grip awesome though while they are newer and you shouldnt have much problems with them except for maybe some cupping if you don't rotate every 4-5k miles. I can't tell if they are LT's or not but they do come with more tread but that can just reduce ride quality and help them cup quicker in some cases. They alway suck to balance many times but most never notice.

They aren't something you want to tow with, that will just chew them away faster. I always recommend another tire if someone wants them on their tow rig.

I guess really overall, most never get the full life out of the tire like they should. If you use your truck like a truck and it's not a tar baby they will work fine for you, just don't think you'll get more than 25-30k before they start really showing the wear if you use them like they should.

They actually seem to ride a lot better then the old Firestone destination A/Ts but that could be because they were very worn. They should last at least 2 years and by then I should be moved to Texas and it will no longer need all terrains.

Thank you! Now I just need a front coilover conversion and to bring the nose down 2 or 3 inches to level it out.

Sell tons of BFG All terrain TKO, one of the best AT tires out there IMO. Regualrly get clients with 60-70,000miles from a set. Towing and not towing. Deep snow rated, you masde an awesome choice!

Love the wheels man, Ive owned 2 sets of bronze wheels over the years

Thanks! Black is just overdone IMO Chrome requires to much upkeep and not many people have bronze so I figured why not! Its different but not flashy

Are you running at stock ride height in your truck? What size are those BFG AT's?


Looks good! I am considering the Method NV for my 2006 rcsb
