Bfg ko2 265/70-r17
So after 4 years of driving with the Goodyear Duratrac's, I've gone back to the land of true All Terrains with the BFG KO2's in 265/70-R17. Link to the original Duratrac thread, here.
On top of that, they weren't even on the truck for 24 hours before I got them dirty with a quick run to the desert for a little shooting. So far, so good with these new tires; they're much quieter than the duratracs, even when they were new.
I'll be keeping track of my mileage and will report back in a little while. I want to see if the mileage drop I got from the duratrac were because of the more aggressive tread or the size increase from stock.

Looking forward to you experiences. I will be buying a set in 275/75r18 for the LX740. Hopefully by the end of the summer.

They looks good nice and dirty. I'll most likely be getting some by the end of the year. Mine KO's still have tread but they are getting old.

Looks good, Steve! I'll probably be buying another set sometime this summer or fall. I've put 60k on my current set, and I think I can get another 5k or so out of them.

That's good to know that they wear well. I'm slightly worried that they don't advertise a mileage warranty like normal tires.

I'm liking them a whole lot more than the Michelin A/Ts and the BFG a/t, the old style. A little mpg decrease (approx 1mpg less vs the Michelin and about the same as the old BFG) and noise increase over the other two, but better traction on-road than both and a lot better wear off-road than the older BFG. According to fueleconomy.gov I'm getting 15mpg average of last 5 fill-ups on and off road.
Good to hear that 60,000+ number on wear, I've only got about 13,000 miles on mine so far and they look like I have many more to go.
