The BFG's that came on my 05 Super Duty got 55k-60k miles on them. I would take the BFG's over the Cooper's.

Yep... That's them the BFG Rugged trails are some great tires. Keep them inflated to 65 psi, rotate them every 8k-10k miles and they should last.

Hunter GSP9700 Wheel vibration Control System solves wheel vibration and tire pull problems that balancers and aligners can't fix

DITTO on this. Makes a big difference when balancing these big, heavy tires we have on our trucks.

Anyone try BFG A/T I ran 4 sets of them on my 04 and got 50K to 55K..

From what i have read on the forums and seen with some of my friends it seems like the Ltx A/T2 are not lasting near as well as most Michelin's do.. was wondering if it was the tires or the truck.. I would not say the driver the reports are way to wide spread I have only had my truck 3 weeks so i cant judge

Well I had the Cooper's taken off the truck yesterday and the Michelin's installed. What a difference in the ride. Wow!!! Definitely the right decision for me.
