My new tires -- BFG All-Terrain T/A KO
Got my new tires today!
Almost wish i'd gone bigger than 285/70/17, but i'll live with these until they wear out.
Love the aggressive look (more aggressive than stock anyway.)

BFG are awsome, My new Ram 2500 has RT T/A and I bought a set of R/T T/A for my 04 F-150, ( need extra rims for the Ram ) I'm kicking my but for not putting nud flaps on The new Ram, The BFG kick up a lot of rocks, and I havent gone off road, This weekend mud flaps are going on and I have a date with some touch up paint, BFG are great tires, your all terrain will ride like your on rails, even off road.

RE: My new tires -- BFG All-Terrain T/A KO
Here is a list of the difference between the stock 265/70/17 and the 285/70/17.
These differences put the speedo just under 3 mph off. I can deal with that.
Even with the 4.7 I don't feel much if any power loss.
I gained just over 1/2 inch ground clearance. Not really enough to mention :-(
No rubbing whatsoever. I ACTUALLY believe there is room to go bigger. Anyone tried?
I'm very pleased, so far.
