    Good to know! Like I said earlier, my dealer told me that BFG has to redesign the carcuss to make it Euro legal (whatever that means) so that is why they discontinued the current SKU for the 255/85.

    Not as heavy too…I'm either going with KM2's again or Cooper ST Maxx's when currents wear out.

    The new ST Maxx size , 34 x 10.5 x 17 has my interest , that's basically a 265/80/17

    If I had 17's I might think about that. Wonder if they'll do a size with 16's.

    For anyone's interests too: (weights in Freedom pounds)

    Cooper weight: 53# each
    BFG weight: 55# each
    Toyo weight: 60# each

    Just got the last 5 km2 off Amazon. Treaddepot has the last 4 that are available (afaik) so if you want them you better act fast.

    I can get frame rub at full turn, but a set of 1" spacers takes care of this. Granted my shocks need replacement so I probably have some excessive body roll, but the spacers give a bit nicer breathing room all things considered.
    This is what I'm talking about:

    I recently contacted BFGoodrich, because these are the tires I want to put on my truck. Here's the conversation:

    Me:


    BFGoodrich:

    GREAT NEWS! I just purchased a set for my truck, and I can be confident that I'll be able to find a replacement if I were to damage a tire.
