    I’m going to contact the vendors I bought them from and see if I can the swap and pay the difference. Fingers crossed.

    It seems like there are only benefits from making the swap and a small negative for me (looks and initial cost). But I’ll take the form follows function here.

    Looks like 17's aren't in stock and won't be for months. So, back to riding on the 16's at least until I wear them down and could possibly sell the wheels and move to 17's at a later date. Was hoping I could just find a C load tire the same size in 16" and be done with it, but that doesn't look to be the case....

    I think Duratrac comes in a C load in 265 75 16 - 45lbs.
    The 285 75 16 KO2 E load is 58.6 lbs according to BF website.

    The only 285/75r16's that I've found in a lighter tire (D load) are the Nitto Terra Grapplers.

    **Edit : They are only 1 lb lighter then the E load BFG's....

    I'm scouring the internet. However, I get a good deal (30% off) on all BFG tires no matter where I buy them from and on top of any promo a dealer is offering. Slight bias towards the brand, but willing to look at others to save weight.

    I went +15 pounds on my last tire swap from SL rated tires to E rated Maxx. It went from nimble truck to a barge. 5 pounds shouldn't be too bad, but you might notice at the lights.

    Same results I had.

    I didn’t add much weight, maybe 6 pounds. 20% drop in average mileage even when corrected for large tire diameter (I went from OEM 245s to 265/75/16, also in a lightweight P metric and SCS wheels).

    I’m not being sarcastic. I love the way the handle and feel on and off road.

    dang. That’s a huge difference per wheel/tire. Your before and after mpg difference should put this to rest. Thanks!
