Depends on the size. I had great luck with 17" and lower rim diameters with 70+ series tires, but the 285/65-18's I have suck. They can't be balanced (tried road force, etc). I won't buy this size from them again. The local shop said they have had trouble with that size from them in nearly every set sold. The other sizes I had, however, were some of the best tires out there.

i have the 265/70/17 bfg at ko's on my 2001 supercrew now and they are awesome. they ride great and are awesome offroad. i also have the 31x10.50bfg ats on my 1993 explorer and they are just as good there. i think they are perfect tires for daily drivin and some offroadin. definetly a good choice for tires

I ordered the 265/70 17s I was first considering the 285/70s but was afraid they would rub in the front

It was a great tire 10 years ago. it still is good, but there are a few that are a little bit better. They last a long time, look good and perform well under most conditions. Hard not to like it.

I liked my Revos better, but part of that is due to the tire sizes I chose. I've read good things about the Firestone Destination AT, but it's a newer tire. Check out Tirerack's AT Customer Survey

The AT KO's are excellent tires. I currently have over 50,000 miles on mine and am beginning to wonder if they are ever gonna wear out.

BFG AT's are definitely a good tire. I got 80k out of a set before the fronts got chewed up due to a severe alignment problem. The new ones will probably outlast the truck.....

I have 285/70/17's on mine, love them! 8 ply plus a steel side belt can't be beat for off roading.

I had Revo's on my Sequoia. Not a bad tire, but not nearly as good treadlife as the BFG.

i have the 285/65/18 and i just took them in to be rotated, and they have 10,000 miles on them. They are showing some pretty tough wear on them already....I guess we will see what ends up happening. I like they way the looks, and they have excellent ride quality!

I have BFG A/T KO 305/65/18 (34"). I love them so far. They have been a load of fun off-road and only slightly rougher on-road than the stock 32" R/T's.
