The new BFG m/t KM2 (only 255/80r17 size) is also supposed to be louder than the standard m/t...

anyone know if the rubber is softer than the old m/t?

I had two sets of m/t's on an 02 powerstroke 35x12.50

i got over 90k out of one set and over 80 out of the other. I have a feeling these new tires are alot softer

I found bfg 255/80/17 on 4wheelparts.com for $205.99. Seems like a fairly decent price.

Where did you order them from? I checked tirerack.com and they don't list them yet. I like the Toyo's but I have always been a fan of the BFG MT's in the old style. I wouldn't mind trying out their new MT. They usually last pretty good. Well, at least the old ones did. Scotty

You'll have to report back with how loud those tires are on the highway... Thinking about putting a set on my Ford and see how they do.

My dad has a set of 275/65/20s on his Ford with a three-four inch lift and they rub at full turn... we are looking for a narrower set of tires around the same height does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

I definitely want to see a set of the BFG 255/80-17's on one of our trucks with stock alloys...

I would like to see them also. They are really looking like they might be a great choice for my next set of tires, depending on if they can take some miles. Hard choice between Toyo and BFG. I have had great luck with both. Scotty

tirepackage.com has them listed for 191.99 with $50 off for a set of 4. I've bought tire from them before they always seem to have a good price.
