I ran those on my 1/2 ton for years, Wore out three sets, Never Ever had a flat, that is with a 5 mile gravel road to work, the only reason they are not on this truck is cause I wanted a more aggressive tire, The KO's dont clean out well in the mud in my opinion.
I was happy with them.

I just put the 285-65-20's on 4 weeks ago. Had the truck out fishing and camping on some pretty rough roads, no rubbing at all. Found I was able to go places in 2 wheel drive I couldn't go with the stock tires. No complaints so far.

Got them on mine and love the looks however will probably step down to the 275's when it's time for new ones for cost savings. I just can't see paying $500 more for 10mm more width and 6.5mm more radius in rubber. They look great though and have had zero issues with rubbing.

Thats exactly what I have on my 2011 6.7L right now and I love them. Not to mention they look way better as well. No issues what so ever with clearance. Went through 3 sets of them on my 2005 6.0L and never had an issue. Make sure you rotate them every 10,000 kms for maximum life.

I bought that exact size on my 2011 6.7 also. I put them on when I had about 3000 miles, sold the factory Mich's on CL. I got about 27-28 1000 miles on them and they were just into the wear indicators. No rubbing no issues at all.
I now have had an even bigger Nitto Terra Grappler set and like them just as well, and they're about the same price. I'm just looking for more mileage, if I don't get better out of these it will be whichever is cheaper when time to replace them.
BFG vs Nitto Terras almost a toss up right now. The BFG's do have a tiny bit less roll when I'm towing my 5th wheel, but tiny.

I have them on my truck now and this will be the last set that I will purchase. This is my sixth set over four trucks that I have owned and i always got around 60-80,000 miles on these tires. Not on this set, they are coming off on monday with 48,000 miles on them and they are shot. For almost 1400 bucks I feel I got screwed. I also developed the death wobble as these wore out and so did a guy at work. I have been hearing good thing about the Hancook duratrack ATM's. I will let you know how these hold up

I guess I drive too hard or haul too much all the time, the best mileage I've ever gotten in 20 years of running BFG's was about 36,000 miles. That winds up being about 2 years or less most of the time. I've run them on 92 F150, 99 F250, 02 F250 and now 11 F350.
I couldn't get 60-80 K miles on a set of steel train wheels before they would wear out.
