BFG AT KO wear question

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on some BFG AT KO's in 305/65r18 for my stock FX4 rims. I was wondering what kind of wear anyone that has them already may be experiencing. I got 55K out of my stock BFG Rugged Trails.

Thanks,
Jeff

In your temperate climate you should get about the same.

You can get 60,000 miles out of BFG AT KO's pretty easily.

I had the 285/65 18's on stock FX4 rims. I had 43K on them and there was plenty of tread left. I loved them but couldn't pass up the deal I got on Mud Grapplers.

They will out last your rugged trails no problem. Just keep up with the rotate and balance.

Damon@TireRack.com,

Why does it say this in your signature line? '**Don't forget to add my name to online orders when checking out!** '

Also, does TireRack match or beat prices from other on-line dealers; OnLineTires.com to be specific.

Thanks,
Jeff

I've got close to 30k miles on my 315x70x17's and they look like they can go about 90k. Hard to wear them out!

just go easy on the skinny pedal. Mine are wearing FAST. I don't burn out, rarely spin my tires but do a lot of hard accelerating and have done many 120mph+ sprints. The tread has been separated pretty bad but I love the tires.
