Alright I'm getting some 17x9 Moto Metal blacks for my truck and I want some BFG At's but they don't have them in the same size tire as my stock 255/65/17 what size At's could I fit on my truck WITHOUT having to get a lift and will it change my gas mileage alot?

 

If your truck is a 4x2, the 265/70-17 BFG's should work fine. If you have a 4x4, I'd go with 285/70-17's. The added height will affect your milage slightly. It will also throw off your speedometer/odometer slightly which means you will be traveling faster than the speedo shows. It will also mean you are traveling farther than your odometer shows.

 

I just put on some BFG Mud Terrains 285 70 R17 on stock 17x7.5 wheels on my 02 Expy last week, they fit great, look awesome and are quiter than the MTR's.

They would look mean on your truck.

Wandell, thanks for the help

 

The Mud T/A is a great looking tire but "BEWARE"... I had them and just got rid of them. I heard most people only get about 35-40k miles out of these and at first I thought what are they doing wrong. Now I know it's not because they wore out, it's because you can't stand them after that. My tires got to about 40-45k before they just went to crap. They were about to beat my truck to death literally. Bad part is I had only used about 60% of the tread. Always kept the front end aligned and cross rotated every 5k. Doesn't matter. It was sooo bad we went on vacation and drove from Sacramento to Seattle. We don't drive the truck alot together around home so it was quite the experience for the wife. Anyways, long story short, it was sooo bad on the way home my wife made me stop in Portland and buy new tires. Found an America's tire (I've been dealing with for years) and bought a set of Nitto Terra Grapplers. All I can say is AMAZING TIRE.

 

I'll probably get the AT 265/70/17 and what lug pattern does my truck have? 05 F150 2wd?

 

6X135mm

 

Thanks for the info on the BFG Mud Terrains, a little to late now though, maybe next time I'll look at the Nittos.

Thanks
