I need new tires... Thinking of trying a different size?
Well guys currently I have a 2.5" spacer lift with factory FX4 Rims and BFG AT 305/65/18's. Tires have lasted 40k miles. I have had them rebalanced a couple of times. Other than that they have been great. So I was looking at the other BFG A/T's and noticed the 275/70/18's. What attracted me to them is the similar size of the 305's and about $100 cheaper. Thats a $400 savings!
Comparing them...
305/65/18 Height 33.7/width 12.2/weight 65lbs $296ea
275/70/18 Height 33.2/width 11/weight 57lbs $200ea
Couple a questions...
1. I don't think I would notice the width much?
2. Would I notice the .5 inches in height?
3. Why are the 275's on tire racks website not rates for severe snow but the 305's are?
Thanks
Ralph
