if you had a choice between 17 mi. 285 70 17's BFG AT's for about 550 or 295 70 17 Nitto's terra grapplers brand new at 691 what would you choose????? whats the difference in size is it worth the price difference. these are going on my 97 CTD 2500 on H2 rims some pulling mostly road

 

Bfg's 32.7 tall vs. the nitto's 3.26 tall. As far as pullin, I personally rite now am running the nitto's, however, this will be my first and last set, as they don't wear worth a darn. The Bfg's pull really good for the buck. Just my .02.

 

OOps nitto's 33.26.Sorry

 

Nitto's have a higher load rating than the BFG's. I'm running the 285 BFG's and I love them. I wish they were higher load rated or at least be able run 80 psi in them when needed. Other than that I don't have any complaints.

 

nittos wallow like crazy with a heavy load. got 315's. goin back to the bfg ko's next time. bfg is rock solid. cannot go wrong there

no way the nittos are rated higher. mine are a d. its the highest they make. the bfg are e...all day

 

Well the 295/70/17's aren't rated any higher than the BFG 285's. They do have a 285/70/17 that's an E rated tire with a 3750lb load rating and 80psi max.

 

i'm not worried about the weight rating as i rarely haul anything that even needs an 8 ply. I'm more concerned with traction at the pulling track and all around road manners....I'm really looking at the BFG's even though i don't really like the tire all that much i know a good deal when i see one

 

I can't comment on the sizes you mentioned, but i have run both tires in 285/75r16 on a 2nd gen factory aluminum wheel. I am currently running the nittos. I will definitely go back to the bfg at for my next set of tires. IMO, they are superior to the nittos in every way (even looks). Chris

 

doesn't matter now I waited to long and the guy sold the BFG's i was looking at
