A big + for the BF's is that they are winter tire rated as well so a must for the ones that ride in the snow...

Was running Blizzak winter tires before but in the snow the grip is almost equal.

Where do you go to get your speedometer recalibrated after upsizing on tires? Do most tire shops do it or do you have to go to the dealer?

I have the BFG All Terrain TA KOs, I was informed you can put up to 265/75/16 on the 16" rims that I have. I have the SLT style rims, but they were backordered on that size when I got mine so I just went with the 255/70/16, upgrade from 255/65/16.

OH Just an addition here, I have taken my BFG All terrains on snow, loose dirt/gravel, and mud. and with my 2wd truck, the tires have gotten me over everything. The only time they didn't help was when I was sideways on a slope angling downward, then my friend who wasn't stuck had to help me out, but that was the only time I got stuck. I tried pulling a dead weight out of the dirt one time, spun my tires into the ground about 5", put the truck in reverse and the tires got me right out it.
