Its not really that they are wearing bad on his dads truck, its that they flex way, way too much when towing.

Scott, I know somebody who is currently only doing sidework (he is finishing his degree). He does excellent work, he has been doing stuff for me for years.

Ice, Ice, everywhere there is Ice. The worst I hit on my way to work was the climb up the hill inside the jobsite. It was a solid sheet of ice, I thought it was pretty funny that I am the only one to make it all the way up it. There was a Sprinter van sitting on the side of the road parked there and a few sets of tracks that made it about 1/4 of the way up. I guess no one else has 4x4.

Got to work fine, but the parking lot is a solid sheet of ice. My truck is stuck 1/2 way in a parking spot. Hoping it melts by 5pm today so I can go home! Arghhhhh!

Got up plowed my driveway, then plowed a friend's on the way in. Then plowed the Geiger parking lot. Not too bad, the side streets are still screwed up though.

drove my short commute to work today int eh jeep with those "junk" bfg at's that everyone whines about. i drove like an idiot on purpose, took all back roads that were unplowed, took off fast and hard at stop signs and still cant figure out whats wrong with these tires...i never slid or spun at all on the ice chucks that were all over the roads. i guess i should immediately sell them for some tires that cost 2x as much and do the same dam things eh?

I have ran the BFG AT's with no issues. They wear fast but were great in bad weather.

The BFG Rugged Trails that I had from stock wore real well, but I felt like they didn't have the traction I got now with the Nitto terra Grapplers. The Grapplers got good traction but I feel the trailer pushing the truck alot more than I did with the BFG's. I don't think going from 265's to 285's would make much difference.
