New member needs some opinions on tires!
Hey all 
first off you guys have a great forum here, it has helped a lot with my truck purchase! I have a 2010 Laramie Ram 1500 Inferno Red with pebble beige interior that im going to be getting soon, no one down here had one with the features I wanted so I had to do some looking and found one in Illinois (was the closest one with all the features I wanted) and having them install some mods for me, I'll list them after for those interested in which ones. I ordered the Mopar 4" Lift kit and I cant seem to make up my mind on tires, so far I think I've narrowed it down between the Nitto Terra Grapplers and the BFG All-Terrain KO's, but there are a lot of mixed reviews on the two online. I'm really not going to be doing a lot of off-roading, I live in Miami, FL so I'm looking for something that will have low road noise, can handle rain well as well as some off-road trails well for when I go up state. Your opinions could really help! Im stumped 
Now for the mods and stuff: Stock with chrome accents group, protection group, bucket seats, tow mirrors, sunroof, 32 gallon fuel tank, nav radio, rambox, back up camera, sunroof, and the class IV hitch. I'm having them add Mopar Pedal kit, Bed light, autonet, overhead dvd, OEM Trailer Brake Controller, tailgate remote lock, door sill guards, chrome tailgate handle, wheel well liners, ambient lighting and the mopar 4" lift. I also have waiting at home; Viper 5902 Alarm, Directed smart start unit, allgig usb, 6000k HID's for fogs and lows (ordered from 3B) Diablosport Trinity Programmer, Recon Tailgate light bar, ezdown tailgate damper, Bakflip F1, Amp Research bedstep and trying to get the money together for K5LA train horn
. That about does it lol. Well I appreciate your feedback! Thanks!

I ran the Nitto Terra Grapplers on my 08 F250. I loved em. They rode smooth and quiet and held up better than I had expected. I cant speak for the BFG's. If I purchase another set of all terrain tires, I will purchase the Nitto's.

I have the BFG's on my truck now, 315/75R17. Kinda a love/hate relationship. So far, great road manners, smooth and quite. Off road have got me where I needed to go. Hit mud without any issues other then needing to shift into 4 wheel drive. My old truck would have done it in 2 but that is comparing apples to oranges. I really can't say this truck with my old tires would have with the stupid open rear diff vs the locker in the old truck. Dirt roads have been good for traction and ride, no complaints there. Snow driving did as well as any non studded tire will do in snow and ice. So where is the hate?
I absolutely hate the looks. I stumbled on a deal I could not refuse so this is what I have. Great tire, crappy looks imho.
My first tire choice would be Mickey Thompson MTZ's. Great all round tire, great wear, and killer looks. Never found a flaw with my last set. Just couldn't match the 260 bucks I paid for these BFG's.
