Tire mileage revisit.

I have about 28,000 on the OEM BFGs. Got looking at them Friday, starting to look worn, Stuck Lincoln's head in there & it goes down to about mid-forehead / hairline. Coming up on the winter / wet season here in Atlanta, probably will change them out before the end of the year.

'Course the big decision will be what to replace them with??

Anybody else getting ready to make a change?

I'm at about 30K on my BFGs, with 4-5/32 tread left. I'm waiting 'till tax time or until Michelin makes a 265/60R18, whichever comes first.

I really want a Michelin whenever I get around to replacing mine, I just can't believe they haven't made an 18" OE sized tire for Lariats yet.

They do, you have them on your truck now. Michelin owns BFG

A Michelin branded tire. I haven't been especially impressed with these BFGs thus far.

I have a little over 42,000 on my BFG AT KO's and they look like they will go another 20,000.
