BFG Heavy Duty?

[AcesandEights]

There are very limited size option out right now. What sizes were you considering? I will check availability for you.

I was wondering if you knew if pricing was similar to other BFG tires (MT or AT) in similar sizes, say a 285/75/17.

I have BFG KO2's E-load range on my 1990 F250 4x4. It's a stiff ride but the prior E-rated tires were no better. The truck needs about 300+ lbs of weight in the bed/tongue weight to soften the ride.

Looks like this is for full-size trucks, but anyone have initial impressions?

What is your rim size and which tire is this in the BFG. Leaving for a 3000 mi trip tomorrow with my F 450 and its 19.5 commercial tires which are getting closer to needing to be replaced.

They don't have them in the for 19.5" wheels. You'll need to shop medium duty tires for that size.

I might look into these when I have to replace the tires on Ram Dooley.

D or E rated tires are for medium or heavy duty trucks. i.e. 3/4 - 1 ton trucks. BTDT. They will be rough riding even aired down. Especially with 17-20 wheel diameter. Load Cs are 2700+ lbs capacity. What's the point?

Haha, yeah who runs C rated tires, 33 inches and above. Who makes them?

BFG, Toyo, Nitto just to name a few.

Out of the dozens of tires each of those manufacturers make, they offer how many in load range C? Although I know BFG offers an AT and an MT (as stock), when you do a search on Tirerack.com (as an example) they don't list a single 33x12.5x17 in anything less than a "D". In 285/70/17, less than 20% of the tires listed are "C". 315/70/17, 20% in "C". Less than 10% of the 35x12x17. So, I think most folks, running other than stock tires, are running something higher than a load range "C".

Nothing available yet in the 285/75R17 or similar as of yet. Looking at sizes that are out there, The HD terrain is similarly priced as the KO2, maybe a few $$ higher.
