Just so everyone knows, I've been running them now for 2 weeks and couldn't be happier with them. Obviously not enough time to tell on tire wear but any road noise they make can't be heard over the truck anyhow. They definitely set the truck off as far as appearance. No vibration problem, balanced with Equal balancing powder. The only thing I've noticed is that they really grip the road when turning.

since you got them did you check the presure? Are they set to what you want them to be or what some tire jockey put in them? grabbin when you turn sounds like the fronts are a bit low, easy to check now and a pain later on if they were low for too long.

Great tire, anyone that says anything different didn't have an aligned truck, wrong psi, or is simply full of crap...

HA! I'll put the TOYO M/Ts against the BFGs anyday, any time, any terrain.

The Toyos have survived terrain that turned BFGs into Taco meat.

Toyo has run the Baja 1000 without a single flat. NO BFG CAN SAY THAT.

Fronts aren't low, I had 55 psi put in during very cold weather... just have much more side grip than I'm used too.

and I have plenty of power steering fluid, filled it at Christmas.

I run 315 bfg a/t's in the summer and 315 bfg m/t in the winter. I got the bfg mt's for real cheap. I am talking 80 bucks a piece cheap. I put 3 studs in each lug and had them siped. They work great in deep snow and in hardpack. I found them to wear twice as fast as the all terrains. Not many times up here in the winter that you actually see the pavement so they will hopefully last 4-5 years. I like how the m/t's look, but if I had to run em in the summer, they would be my last set. The a/t's dont look as good, but they have more longevity, lower price, less noise, and better highway manners. Buy whatever you like. Its your money. Looks arent everthing.

BFGs

What are you talking about HOHN, we've been racing Baja for years and BFG is the only race proven tire down there with more overall wins then any other tire companies combined.
