? ? ? Radials

[locker1962]

I'm sure this question has been asked dozens of times. Have 38.5x14x16.5 tsl sx's, they don't work with the type of use of my truck. Want to go to a radial, want to try 17" rims, the truck feels like I geared it to low so should be able to take a larger tire. I'm leaning towards the BFG mud 40" (or 37" because the sx's measure just over 36" half worn). Suggestions and input on owner experience's wanted. Thanks

37" bfgs probably don't actually measure out to be 37 either. Infact I can almost guarantee they wont

Everyone I know with the new BFG muds likes them and that ranges from a set of 31s to a set of the 40s

The only bad thing is the price tag. Has it come down much on the km2?

Last quote over a year ago if I remember right was $500.oo each for 40" BFG km2, plus the price of new rims?? My SX's were $350.oo each and I won't get 10,000kms/6000miles out of them at the rate they are wearing.

The BFG MT, New Goodyear MT/R, and the old style MT/R in a 40" all would be a good choise. Look around for the old MT/R which might be the best bang for the buck right now. They are clearing them out because of the new style.
