Looking for pics of BFG rugged terrain tires

Need some new tires. Always been a fan of BFG all-terrains but would like to see some pics of the new rugged terrains installed. Looking for any size but will be putting 275/65/20 on my truck

Finally got mine installed. I will take a couple pics and try to load them here. So far I am happy with them, quiet and smooth riding. I went with 285/70/17 on 17x9 wheels...

Great, please do. My local tire shops dont stock them so I cant get a real look at them. The stock photo looks like the sidewalls have a decent pattern so Im really interested

I have had the KO All Terrains in the past and these are not quite as noisy. The make a low pitch growl that I only hear when my window is down. I am very pleased so far. Now I need the 5100 Bilstiens next.

Are you looking for a less aggressive tire?

What do they measure height wise? I'm looking to put the same size on my leveled 2wd also just on stock wheels.

^ it depends on the size of the tire.... The OPs 275/65/20 would be approx 34" tall and Huntndogs 285/70/17 would be just under 33" tall.

Use this to help you figure out questions like this: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

I think they look pretty good. Seems Im the only one who prefers the white lettering out and it's one of the few tires in that size that sports it. I've run the BFG all-terrains on tons of vechicles and think they are horrible in snow. They fill up fast and then its the spinning game. Looking for something a bit different and the rugged terrains look pretty good. Thanks for the pics

Which version of the tire are Yall going with? P or LT

I'm looking at 285/70r17 and it is available in both P and LT E. I don't tow or haul any significant loads, so I'm thinking of staying with a P rated tire since that's what came standard on my truck. Everything I've read on P vs LT seems to be personal preference unless you tow a lot.
