    chances are you got passenger rated tires then. LT are definately not soft. look at your tire size and see if its P265/xxx/xx or LT265/xxx/xx

    That looks great! I think I'll still with 265s after seeing this picture. 12k miles? That doesn't sound right, I hear nothing but great things about NTG tires... How big of a lift is on your truck?

    No lift other than the 2.5 in the front from the 5100s. And yeah 12k miles, worst wear I've ever had. I think I must have gotten the softer of the rated tires. Sucks for me... The BFGs are great tires

    I say go with the 285s...the bigger, wider tire makes the truck look like a tank IMO. I'm going from 265s to 285s in about 2 weeks :)
