What so yall think about that size bfg? why are they so dang expensive now. Is there anyway to find the cheaper?

BFGs are junk they don't last like they used to. I had a set on my company truck that lasted me 30k.

I get almost 50K off of mine. Like I said, you love them or you hate them. I don't want anything else. The 275/70/20 set I put on 3 weeks ago cost $1600 out the door. I don't even know who stocks the size you're asking about...where have you seen them?

On there website. They are the LT325/60R20/E. The are 13" wide and 35.4 inches tall but only weight 68lbs. Thats huge. Thats a taller and wider tire then most 35x12.50s that weigh 78lbs but weight 10lbs less a tire.

I don't guess I've ever seen them. I don't think I could afford the fuel, lol.

What I am saying is that weight and size tire should have very little affect on mpg I would think

A 68 lb 35/13 wide I bet it don't wear for ****..

just for future refrence I put 35x12.50x20 Dakar MTs on my truck the other day and I really like them so far and I saved about 650$ over toyos and they look just like the toyos my tire man who is also a really good friend sold me on them and so far I am very happy especially since I saved so much money now if I could get the low air light to go away I would be set

colecoop56 · Sep 8, 2013

I wonder how they would wear man.

MHJ · Sep 8, 2013

he guaranteed me they will last as good as the two sets of toyos I have had on previous f250s and he knows I am extremely picky and will not settle for anything junky

Those look exactly like the Durun Terrain Grabber MT I had on my old F150. Just re-branded chinese knock-offs. Toyo MT tread with Trail Grappler side wall.

Don't take this the wrong way but if fuel mileage is a huge deal to you then why not just leave the stockers on for now til you get better off financially? I've always seen a drop in fuel mileage with a taller tire (it just takes more oomph to turn em) and its not like you have a bad looking rig now.

colecoop56 · Sep 9, 2013

Ya that's something to think about for sure.

2009 with an H&S running 150HP setting with complete delete from turbo back, 4.5" lift and 35x12.50-18 Nitto Trail Grapplers. I get 15.9 at 73-75mph. And 18.9-19.2 between 60-65mph.
