I have well over 40K on my 285/60 18inch Nitto Terra Grapplers, and I have lots of meat left. They have been a great tire for me, in a difficult to find size.

 

When I was looking at tires, I did a search and asked the question here and on other ford sites along with talking to a couple of local tire dealers. The consensus was around 35K. Don't get me wrong, I think the Terra Grapplers are a better looking tire than the BFG but for my money I want to run with the one that is going to last the longest....

 

I've got the Nitto Terra Grapplers in 285/75/16 mounted on my new wheels. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten them mounted on my truck yet, hopefully by Friday if the damn rain lets up!!!

They are a very tough looking tire. The tread pattern looks aggressive and I like the look of the extra "grippers" just over the tread onto the sidewalls. I was swaying between the BFG A/Ts and the Nittos but went with the Nittos because I could get them cheaper and wanted something a little different than what everyone else around here has. The mileage issue didnt matter much to me since I only drive the truck about 8000 miles a year anyways. One of the great things about working in my local town's fire dept.... 5 mile round trip!

 

I just got a set of 4 A/T ko 265/70/17's installed yesterday & those were on backorder as of a couple of weeks ago but when I went in the day before yesterday to check again they showed the warehouse had 12 now so maybe BFG got "caught-up" on things? This was a small local guy & I got em for $187 ea. "out the door" definetly the best price around here (I dindt bother checking WallyWorld (WalMart) as (A) Id rather give more money to someone local & (B) I wouldnt want them to put a wrench on my sons bicycle let alone one of my vehicles). 4 Wheel Parts had a great price online the other day of I believe $168 or so a piece w/free shipping - then you have to find someone to mount/balance unless your lucky enough to have access to that type of equipment. I like the BFG line-up & have great performance from them on many different vehicles over the years. The original Goodyear Wranglers that came on the truck lasted 30K miles & I think I can get 40-50 out of the BFG's.

 

I'm happy with my BFG A/Ts

 

I just noticed Discount Tires has the A/T 265/70/17 for $166.00 ea. W/ Free shipping until June 1st.

Just doing a quick search, I found these tires with these spec's and sizes.



My first choice would be the 275 Wrangler MT/Rs.
Secondly, if they would fit, I'ld chose the Toyo 285s.

But, my next tire purchase will require me to get some with a mileage warranty. I chew through them kinda fast.

 

I would still go with the BFG-AT-KO's....never been disappinted with them, especially the "updated" model (i.e. the KO's).
