nitto vs BFG

I have read that people are getting 50-60K out of BFG AT's, what kind of milage are people seeing out of nitto I have read that on the nitto AT's some people are only getting 40k, I am a stickler for vehicle mantence, so I am not worried about keeping them properly rotated, that is a given. I would like to see what people are getting on both tires. and which tire is the best. I drive mostly highway. My truck is pretty much a road queen. any help is greatly appricated.

My neighbor I beleive has 35k on his nittos and they are still in very good shape. I personally went w/ the bfgs for their life expectancy. If i can get 60-70 out of the bfgs it was worth it to pay the grand+ for the tires.
This is the way i figured it, take the expected mileage and divide it by the price of the tire. so in my case i expect 60,000 miles from these bfg's and i divied that by the price per tire 330 and it came out to about 6 dollars a mile. 330/60=5.5
Its just a little something my dad showed me when i was comparing the nittos and bfg's. some people might say its not a good way to compare idk. .

I'm going with Toyo. I've had several sets of BFG AT/KO's and all (except for the 285/65-18's) have been tremendous tires. This last set just left a bad taste in my mouth.

I'd say they are pretty close. I've never owned a set of Nitto's. I had a friend that installed a set on their Expy and they were very quiet and required almost no weight to balance. However they sold the Expy a year or so later so I have no milage idea on them. They are both excellent tires, you can't go wrong.

Im in the same boat. I going to buy new tires soon and wil be buying 285/65/18. The bfg's and almost a 100 dollars more. Is it worth it.

they will last you probably twice as long as the nittos..the bfg are great tires. bassmaster id go with some 33inch tires would look great with ur truck...mine basically has the same setup....this will change the appearance greatly and look great
