    Yes, but I am not in a good financial period right now, sadly (who is)! Maybe after the November elections America will get invigorated! I will PM you...!

    I was considering them too, but they are only 18/32nds, and they weigh way more than my current tires in the same size. What is up with them weighing so much?

    Sure you have that right model? General calls all their tires 'Grabbers'. I saw them at 4 Wheel Parts and they have a very deep tread.

    Great... what size and please report highway sound level... high hum like mud tires or nearly silent like Rugged Trails, etc.? They look awesome, congratulations!

    Well after driving on them for just a day I have noticed that the hum isn't too bad. About between silent and a mud tire. One thing tho is they track kinda weird on the freeway. Overall I love them so far and I can't wait to test them in the dirt. I would probably say that if you don't plan on having them in the dirt a lot then I would say get bfg all terrains because they r cheaper and more of an on road tire.

    New tires take a bit to get used to.. give them a hundred miles to adjust to, then report back, please!

    As for BFGs, not unless they were gifted to me... I will never buy a BFG... they are entirely hyped... sure they are great for a lot of folks, who rave about them... But, they are over priced, the 3 ply sidewall is not strong as it should be, and they use Baja racing to push them, when the profesional racers use a tire that is not available to the public or for highway use, the Baja T/A. Compared to the Toyo A/T and Cooper ATR, even the BFG Rugged Trail, the BFG All Terrain T/A is terrible in deep sand.

    At least the Grabber is the off road racing tire tread pattern and modified for highway use and sold to the public.

    I am looking forward to yours, and others feedback on them... and hopefully the price will drop one of these days before my Rugged Fails totally give out.

    They do come in a 265/75-16 which is the stock Off Road TRD size + 1" (75 vs. 70).. Which fits right on our trucks without any mod. Also, Ford Rangers and other trucks use that size.
