285-70/17 BFG AT KO's
I just put these tires on my truck 2day and so far think they look way better than the stockers, I also like the lower hiway RPM's (4:10'S)..
The big question I have is what psi is everyone running these tires (tire shop put them @ 55psi) an empty truck to get the best milage???

I agree keep them at max on the front at least. I keep my BFG 315s max on front and back. Helps mileage and with regular balance and rotating will extend the life of the tires quite a bit. My BFG 315s have 49,000 miles and looks like I might get another 10,000 out of them, 5,000 - 6,000 for sure. That is all I expect out of that big a tire on heavy truck.

62 in the front and 57 in the back! I have tried every different set up and this is what drives the best and gets the best mileage i noticed that if you run the back @ max you are a little jumpy on rough roads with out a load

Great looking tires. The stock michelins on my 1500 will lose traction on slightly damp grass...leaving me driving a winter beater. I might have to look for another set of rims and try out a more aggresive tire. It would also appear that we likely pass each other at the carwash in Beaumont!! Been there 8 years
