Here's the link I was looking at

http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/specs...t-a-ko/44.html

Those would be the size i pick up to replace my Conti TR's

I have the BFG's on my Bronco and love them. I am scared to take those Conti's up to Mammoth this winter with my family and friends in the truck, plain and simple.

Think my dealer would give me a discount on the swap?? only 3500 on the conti's

Its a shame that you spend $40+k on a truck and get car tires (continental) . I' glad I paid xtra for the BFG Rugged trail they are nice and not to aggressive. My wife's 05 escape has conti's on and with 18k miles they are 6/32. I can't wait to replace them with BFG long trail or rugged trail. Tires are the difference between a good ride and handling vehicle or a crappy one. I do know one thing I wouldn't spend a dime of my money on conti's. Maybe I can get some $ back on them when they get replaced at 20k miles.

Found some rubber the next day, Toyo Open Country M/T..33x12.50x18..
Quiet for an agressive tread...They grip pretty good. I find myself locking up the brakes in diffrent ice/snow conditions to see how good the truck will stop...so far so good....$1400 out the door hurt quite a bit though!
