Putting on the Winter/Hunting wheels & tires on!

Tommorrow I am swapping out my Alcoa 20's for the Stock Aluminum 17's shod with 285x70x17 BFG AT KO's for Hunting season & the winter months!
Anybody here doing the same?.............I actually miss my BFG's they make the truck look like a Raptor Jr! ...........

I'm dreading the day my winter wheels are goin back on, should be getting some 285 65 18 terra graps for them in the next couple weeks, that will make them a little more bearable

Winter already? In the 90s here, sometimes I really wish it would cool down.

I'm not going to get caught with my pants down like I did last year. It snowed beginning of November and never stopped!!!

Probably one night after work or this weekend I'll get my winter set up put on.

We don't get a lot of snow here, mostly ICE! Don't need road rash on the 22's. I put my stockers on for the winter with 265/70-17 tires, same OD as my 305/40-22's.

i will be doing the same. since my favorite time of the year is comming (hunting season). ill be putting my 22's up and putting my stock 17's with some type of mud terrain thinking about the toyo mt's if i can get a good deal. the stockers currently have 285/70/r17 bfg mt's but i was hard on them last hunting season and there very worn out.

Yeah i will be switching to the stockers here soon. I got caught with my pants down last year too. I wish i didn't have to change, but it will give me a good chance to really clean up my wheels good.

I am going to wait until the last minute again this year, unless I sell/trade the truck before the snow starts flying. I just don't like the looks of the stock setup on my truck, especially when I am so use to my "nice" set.
