Hey finaly got a pic of the new bfg's on the truck gives the truck a totaly diferent look I'll try and get a few better shots up later

 

WoW!! what a change! Tires even changed the color of your truck. Does this mean I have to stick with Goodyears if I want to keep my truck red?? What tire would give me a deep maroon color? or maybe that new millennium yellow?

 

Sweet looking treads man. Thanks for the pics. I am glad somebody helped with my question.

2002 FX4

 

Very funny I used my friends diital camera and it made the colors look a bit funky but oh well

 

Are they the A/T's
and how do they sound going down the street...not to loud I hope since I'm considering these.

 

they are the mud TA's they are suprisingly quiet for a mud tire and handle good to. I realy didnt think they are much louder than the factory tires were

 

I wonder if they make a 285/17 yet in the AT's?

 

JonF150supercab, those BFG M/T's will get louder as they were. I've owned them (in a different size) and I really liked the tires.

Just get true duals, straight pipes and the noise from the tires won't bother you at all.

Jonf150supercab:

Good looking truck.

Do you have any newer or recent pics of the 285/70/17 BFG's?

Maybe a profile shot, with both tires, w/ the shiny stuff on them, etc...? If so, would you mind to post them??

I am considering the same ones, and your current picture is kind of tough to get a feel for how they look...

I am not sure if it was the exposure or what, but the picture of the BFG's didn't seem to turn out...?




Thanks,
Ryan

 

Looks great.
How does the 4.6L & the 3.55 handle the larger tires (on hills, the flat, highway, city, low speeds, high speeds, mileage, etc.)?
Did you have the computer recalibrated for the new size?
Do the front tires ever rub on anything when turning?

 

Jonf150supercab,
Really changes the look of your truck. Much more aggressive. If I were to go the off road look, thats the way to do it. Good job.

 

What did you have to adjust to fit that size of a tire? Sorry but accidently posted a thread instead of a reply. I am looking for a set of these for my 97' Lariat 4x4. I currently have Bigfoot a/t but need something more aggresive for the winter, at least that is what I am telling my wife! (Actually I tend to play in the MUD alot) Also any idea where I can find some. Thanks

 

hey haven't checked the site in a while the 4.6 still goes pretty good I didn't change anything or have the Speedo recalibrated. it is close enough the gas mileage went down a little but I don't mind the truck looks so much better it still pulls hills good it cruses on the highway at 70+ no problem and they seem to be wearing well for all the highway driving I do I will work on getting some new better picks up

 

I think it would like even better if you put the whitewalls out.....it would look pimp

 

to answer someone's question about the AT's No not yet.but it looks good only because if they have the mud's in the 285 size then it will only be a few months b-4 the AT comes out in the size of the 285/70 17 i have the 265's now and im waiting......
