Tire choices!

I bought the 18" factory Fx's. Thanks to all who have helped! Now tires. Are the Toyo MT's noisy? Will they where long? I am leaning toward the new BFG AT LT305/65R18/E . I like them they are quiet and last a long time. Plus they would be a good compromise between a 33 and a 35" tire. They are almost 34"

you are looking at a mud terrain and an all terrain tire. Those are two different tires. The BFG ATs last a very long time. I got over 40K miles with them on my 03 tahoe. I have the Toyo Mts and they are very quiet for a mud terrain but i do not expect to get 40K miles out of them. they do make a Toyo AT which you might want to check out. There is a difference in price with MTs and ATs too.

The size AT I want is $290 when available so the price is not a issue.

I want to get the 305's also but are they really going to cost that much? Dang I might have to stick with the 285/65/18.

BFG says Oct 1. Release date. It all depends on how fast your tire dealer can get them.
