finally get new rubber

Finally got rid of the p.o.s. continentals, replaced with bfg t/a 275/70/18,, man what a big difference. had them on the old 04, very good tire, although the contis did have almost 48000 on them with a few burnouts

my conti's (non AT type) seemed to wear fast. So I got the Michelins. They have a new AT for 18". I'm not sure if I like them. They seem to wear different then the old styles I've had of Michelins.
I may go to a different tire next time. Good luck with your BFG's.

Same here. I replaced all four at around 30k. New set of Michelin ltx ms2

Contis were junk. Wife Expy had them also and they were junk as well

I checked the tread depth new on the Conti's I had ( OEM Lariet 18" non A/T Conti) and they are less then most of the tires out there so this is why they wore so fast.

I really like the BFGs. I have had more than a few sets. I decided to go with the Nitto Terra Grappler on this truck. They ride well and Wheel just fine.
