BFG AT or ProComp Extreme AT
Looking for new tires, 06 FX4 Screw, running factory 18's. I'm not sure which tire to get the BFG AT's 305/65/18 or PC Extreme AT's 35x12.5x18. Most driving done on road, rest is Arizona desert/mtns for hunting, camping fishing. Which tire is best and is the size difference that big of deal?
thanks

Hey crash_lucky13......
50K miles out of a MT tire ? That's the first time I've ever heard that kind of a claim for tread life on a MT tire. I know Toyo makes great tires, but 'if' I could be assured of 50K miles, and 'if' they made a 34" Toyo MT, I'd buy them instead, of the BFG AT's......
But that a couple of pretty big 'if's'.......
Hmmmm,

PS, Hey BTW guys, these Pro Comp Extreme's tires look great, are priced good, and are just about the same height I was looking at with the BFG AT 305/65-18"s..... but are an inch wider: http://www.4wheelparts.com/Tires/Pro...&t_pn=PCT58033
Would these fit with a 2" level, Wandell ?

Hey Crash....
couple things...
I'm looking for 34"s or as close to that as possible, because in my research, I hear that 35"s sometimes rub or hit just slightly, on 2wd F150's, with only a 2 1/2" level (and mine will only be a 2" max, when going with Bilstein 5100 adjustable height shocks).
I hear you about "getting what you pay for"....... But with tires, sometimes you might get a tire "which is REALLY good off-road..... but doesn't neccesarily have the longest tread life. Same thing with street racing tires, which might be speed rated at really high seeds, and give you outrageously good traction..... but might only last 1/5 as long as some of the cheaper, touring style tires.
Anyway, this is in no way, a slam on Pro Comp MT's..... In fact, after reading this thread, I'll consider them again myself. They are some agressive looking tires :-)
Peace,
