I was going for the 265 bfg at knockoffs. I don't plan on resurrecting my truck from the grave when it goes (want a newer dodge 4x4) and I'm sure it probably won't have the same size wheels so I was just weighing my options. my tires I have now have no tread whatsoever.

 

i believe the bridgestone dueler knockoffs would be a better tire for highway use. they're only 72$ each in that size. and the bfg a/t are 88 for e rated an 83 for d rated.

if i were you, i would order some treadwrights. just inspect them really well when you get them. if the tread is peeling away from the tire carcass then you just need to call them and send a picture of the damage and they will send a replacement.

when i ordered mine i told them that i wanted all bfg a/t casings too, because i didn't want mis-matched sidewalls. that and the bfgs have a rim guard on them.

 

i bought a set of the bfg at knockoffs for my sons toyota (31/10.50/15), and couldnt be happier. put them on a new set of black crager soft 8 rims and 2 of the tires never even took any weight to balance them. havent put very many miles on them yet,but so far so good. i would buy them again.

 

i have a 2000 ram 1500 4x4 265/75-16, still them same size. dodge only used to rim sizes 16x7 and 17x9 maybe 10?(i think)

 

i'm pretty sure the off road rims are 17x8

 

im not to sure, because if it was 8 wide you couldnt fit a 33x12.50 on it thats why i thought maybe 10 wide.

 

i am pretty sure they are only 8inch wide. i have fit 14.50s on a 9 inch wide rim... so 12.50 on an 8 inch wide is a peice of cake... hang on.. here ya go...

after reading probably hundreds of reviews and comments about these tires I thought I'd give em a try. My 01 5.2L with the 265/75 R16 guard dog M/T's with their kedge grip. I requested all 4 matching casing with a 3-ply sidewall, and got 4 matching BFG A/T ko casings. So far they ride smooth, took a lil bit of weight it seems to balance tho. Also have a nice hum on the road. At about 45-50 mph, sounds like a semi on the freeway. Not terrible tho. Not louder than my super 44 anyway. And so far on a couple inches of loose/ packed snow, I have to really romp on it, to break em loose. Much better than the Dunlop AT20's that were on it. Only bad part is now my speedometer is off a bit im pretty sure. The stock size was 245/75, but ah well, I'll manage.
Hope these pictures work.

alright after going through this entire thread im goig to treadwright for my tires which will be within this month. Not sure which ones i want to go with though.

I dont know if i want to get 265's again, or get the 2 1/2 level kit and get the 285's....im debating for i dont want my mpg's to drop, im getting good mpgs now so...but i have the 4.10's so it may be better

 

with 4.10s and 32.8" tires you should be getting 13-15, which is what you should get with 3.55 gears and 245/75/16 tires (stock).
