Well it's time for some new tires. And I completely can't decide. Every time I decide I change my mind. I thought maybe we could get a thread going where everyone rates and gives pros and cons of what tire you have to help people like me decide. Main things are lifespan, performance,weight, on road manners, if they stay balanced, durability, price and of course looks. I know some of these traits directly oppose each other and it will be a trade off, but still trying to get the most bang for my buck. Help me out!

I had the stock ones for a year, then went to the general red letters, now I have the 's' rated bfg's and love them the best for ride and comfort and gas mileage.

Yes offroad performance is important. But probably 60 percent of my miles are highway miles. I'm personally not concerned with snow performance. I Live in FL. But I know a lot of other guys on here are so that may help somebody else out

My buddy has toyos on his truck and those things are monstrous. When you air them down slightly they can dig through a lot. And being in florida i am sure you are mainly around mud so i would personally go with the toyo mts. But thats me

Yea that was my first choice but then I saw how much of a difference unsprung weight makes on acceleration and braking and thought twice. It would be an easy choice if they were ten pounds lighter lol. That's the trade off for sure. Awesome tire all around except they are just heavier than gold

The stock are S rated. Did you mean you have the R rated now?
