Sad day for my F150

I traded in my 35x12.50's Mud tires for 285/70 Firestone Destinations. What a difference in looks. I miss those big tires already. But on a positive note, the firestone do drive alot smoother and they're obviously quieter, so I gave up looks for comfort. Now if I can sell the 35's that were on there I'll almost pay for the new ones.

thanks for the support guys. its been a couple days and they're growing on me. based on the reviews on tirerack i'm confident i made the right choice.

what happened to bfg at's? they were always the goto tire but it seems they've taken a back seat to some lesser known brands. Are the reviews on tirerack biased towards price or has bfg lost it a little?
