    I saw that today, but are we sure that D rated 265/75 actually exists for that size? I only could really find it at discount. I do see it listed at a few other places, but nothing that seems promising. Also weird it’s not on the BFG site if it does exist.

    And you are correct, the weight is definitely incorrect if the tire does exist. Discount has been known to have weights listed incorrectly. The e load is about 55 lbs from what I’ve seen. D load 265/70R16 is around 48-50 lbs, so I would think the 265/75 if it exists would be around 50-51 lbs.

    Recently installed a Cali Raised Stealth bumper with 32” light bar, BAMF front frame horn reinforcements, and a 12k lbs. Badland Apex winch.

    Truck goes in to my local off-road shop tomorrow morning to have my front Eibach suspension bumped up to accommodate the recently added weight on the front end.

    While there, it will be getting new tires and an alignment. I was previously running 265/75/16 KO2’s. Now, I’m bumping up to a set (including the spare) of 285/75/16 KO3’s. I had a chance to swing by the shop the other day for a sneak peek at my new tires. I rolled one beside my front to give me an idea. Lookin’ beefcake! :thumbsup:

    Thank you! Once I get my truck back, I’ll throw up some new pics!

    Thanks! I’m curious to see how they look because I also run 285/75/16s but I’m currently on Yokohamas.
