Just so everyone can read for themselves, Not all tires are created equal, don't assume anything until you read the dealer specs.

BFG's literature says that my 285/75's are 32.9 inches..... so i guess you're right!

cterrysgd, I think you will be very happy with these tires. I love them! I too found that running them in the rain absolutely blows away the Firestones. I would hydroplane easily at 45 - 50 mph with the Firestones. I have no problems at highway speeds with the BFG AT KO's!

One mention for snow/ice. I live in the Carolina's and the Ice we have hear every year is nasty! I have driven to work or been coming home during a storm and this is no lie.....no slipping at all in 4wheel drive. Parked the truck, stepped out and down I go! It was nearly too slick to walk on, but the truck did not show any signs of being too slick! I couldn't understand that, but accepted that fact that these had to be the best tires ever!

Earlier posts I mentioned that I had to drive on a 40 mile round trip in a record 24" of snow we had here a few years ago. I was out before the snow plows, and had no problems on any roads or inclines! The only problem I had was a broken windshield wiper blade( I always carry spares thank goodness)!

I am a very aggressive driver and get over 40,000 miles on these tires. I know other folks that have gotten over 60,000 on theirs! I was never able to get over 30,000 on the previous Michelins. These experiences were with my GMC 1/2 ton pickup. Now, I too have a new set of BFG's on my X and am very anxious to see how well they do with mileage carrying this 8000lb. beast!

My family and I feel much safer now driving in the rain!
