New Tires

Just got a set of new BFG A/t KO 285/70/17 that replaced the crap goodyear wranglers & the differance is day & night...no more slipping on rain soaked roads! I cant wait for some snow which we should be getting in my area soon....
BTW the goodyears had probably 75% life left with no traction at all. I never owned BFG but always heard good things..

Yea I had crappy sport kings from the dealer and got 265 bfg ko's and it was a world of difference.

kasparsport - what kind of power loss did you experience with this size with your 4.6? I have the same setup and my 265's are about to replaced.

Well satisfied so far with mine, ride great even for the large 315 size.

I went from 265's to the 285's & I do notice I have to give it a little more gas...nothing drastic, I like the 285's it fills the wheel wells nicely....
its a lot quieter on the highway than I thought it would be also...

As far as pics I just have my sig pic but I hope to put more up soon to add to my gallery...
