I purchased the General Grabber AT2. I did the research on Tire Rack and posted a couple questions in here. Some others run them too. They are great in the snow and normal off road... similar tread pattern to the BFG's as well. Alot cheaper too. Check them out at tire Rack.

265/70/17's

OK, here's my deal. Just came from Discount Tire this evening after getting BFG AT/KO's. They look sweet, and I'm sure will be awesome tires. I originally had a concern but after doing some research found my own answer.

'03SE, 4WD, no mudflaps, 265/75R16's. According to what I found I shouldn't need to do any trimming.

I'll post later about how well I like them. We even have some snow coming the next couple of days!

Well, the snow came and continues to come. We're supposed to get a couple more inches today. But, I've got to add I'm disappointed. With my old tires (stock Long Trails), I used to be able to go around the block with my wife/daughter and gun it a little and have the back end slide on the corners. Did this mostly to irritate them. But now, I can't seem to GET the back end to slide! So, I'm disappointed...

Seriously, though, I'm very happy with them. They are quiet, long lasting (full 60k replacement warranty) and VERY grippy! If I truly had a complaint, it would have to be the speedometer is off now. I'm running with my GPS to find out exactly how far, but it looks to be a bit over 5%. That is, when the speedo reads 65, I'm actually going almost 70. So I'll have to keep an eye on that for a while. But other than that, no complaints so far.

Also, with my truck ('03SE, 4WD, no mudflaps) I've found I didn't have to trim anything either. These are about an inch taller than stock, but nothing rubs anywhere.

Hope this helps someone and thanks to all with their recommendations! That's what makes this forum so great!

Two things:

1) Shouldn't your speedo be reading slower?

2) No offense at all man I swear, but seems to me like getting "slideways" in your X with wife and kid (in icy/snowy weather i'm assuming) is stupid not irritating!

JUST BUY THEM.........they work and are a good solid tire.......

That's what he said. his speedometer was showing 65, he was going 70.

I had a similar thing happen, on my audi. I put 215/45/16's as opposed to 215/55/16 and i was 5 miles slower. irritating.

1) It IS slower (65 on speedo vs. 70 on GPS).

2) No offense taken. I have never went "slideways" with them in the truck. I'd only give it enough to just have the back end slip. Just enough to let them know it's losing traction. Couldn't have ever been more than just a few degrees. You know, just enough for them to go "eeek!". Just enough to get a reaction. Just enough for some fun 'cause they hate it!

My apologies. I have mild dyslexia and I'm usually pretty good about reading things 3 times over but I rushed that one.

Those BFG's do have some good grip though, I feel ya there!
