    I get about 16.5 MPG on my BFG KM2s. Love the tires, have about 30k on them now and the wear level isn't too bad, I'd still say 70-60% tread left.

    Don't short yourself, you can't beat the looks, they're a heavy tire but I haven't gotten stuck yet.

    My truck is a daily with a lot of hwy usage. I do like to hit the desert up when I can, but being a PreRunner OR there's only so much I can do. I can say, I've yet to be really disappointment in my BFG AT KO's. The only real issue I've had was a small water crossing.... but I had no weight in the bed and 32psi in the tires.... any tire would have failed in that situation. They're realativly quiet on the road for an agressive tire... fairly smooth for an AT, and they look pretty good (though not as good as an MT of course).

    Also, there's a 50,000mi pro-rated tread-wear guarantee. So, if you don't hit the mark you'll get a discount off the next set. The MT's are only like 25k or something... if they have it. Check with BFG's site.

    i got the bridgestone dueler a/t revos...the bfg's are good tires but i've heard they aren't as good for driving on the highways when it's raining...they tend to hydroplane more...i drive on the interstate to work and back home going 75mph and i haven't hydroplaned once on my revos..and the revos have a guarantee...i think it's 60k miles or something

    I'll disagree with that one. I can go through 6 in deep puddles at 60 and barely feel them. Unlike any other tire I've ever driven on, I don't feel the puddles at all, they don't even slow the truck down.

    One thing to also keep in mind, our trucks are relatively light. We will easily exceed the recommended mileage on tires due to it. Toyo's will last forever because they are a very hard rubber.
