New tires

[strokinallday05]

Hey guys quick question. I have a 6in lift on my truck and recently switched my Toyo M/T(37x13.50x17) for some BFG A/T(37x12.50x17). The truck handles a whole lot different. My question is will it be ok running the BFG's on my truck since they are only D rated? Im not towing or hauling anytime soon. I just wanted an A/T on my truck instead. Currently running 50PSI in each with nitrogen. Thanks

I was advised that it's not good for these trucks to run anything under a "E" tire becasue the sidewalls aren't strong enough to support the weight and the truck will chew the tires up alot quicker than E range tires. Thats just what I was told from discount tire direct and my uncle who runs a terry's tire town. I went with the LT E range tires. good luck.

i agree, my last truck was dodge diesel, nd now this ford. both trucks on d load felt like they were floating..... my current ford only has a 285/75/16 bfg all terrain, the handling sucks to say the least, you can literally steer with *** end of the truck if jerk the wheel just right.... if it hadnt come with brand new tires , they would be gone. i might still swap them and sell these.

good point I forgot about that the d range tires aren't as stiff of a sidewall and that has adverse effects on the handling of the vehicle esp when there is so much weight involved.

No joke guys, dont waste your time with the BFG's on this heavy of a rig. I just busted one Guess its back to my Toyo's as soon as I can get another set. Anyone know where is the cheapest to get a set?

I've got BFG All Terrain T/A in E rated, they are out there, only paid 850 out the door too. Coach
