I am going to make myself sick if I look at any more tires. I will be pulling my truck for the first time next May and I'm not sure what way to go. I have been looking at the BFG M/T's for a long time. I don't really care about how long they will last because I only drive the truck about 4000 miles a year. Right now it is wearing 265-75/16 Nitto Tera Grappler AT's. I will be going with a 285 no matter what I get. The Nitto's seam to be a very good traction tire where ever I drive the truck but I don't know how well they would do in front of a sled. What are some of you running for M/T's?

most guys pull with BFG A/ts or the Truxus sts by interco. Some have had luck with TSL boggers by interco if you are looking to go with a mud tire.

I pulled with some 285-60-18 Toyo AT's and they hooked up really well on hard pack. I think There almost the same tread design as the Nitto's you have. I ended up with 3rd in the 8.5 outlaw class my first time pulling the D-Max.:)

Mickey thompson MTZ and no other. I have pulled with mtz and have beat alot of the trucks running super swamper boggers. They hook great on soupy tracks and hook very well on hard tracks. They IMHO will walk circles around bfg's and i got 50k miles outta them

So are the BFG M/T's or the Goodyear MT/R's a bad choice. I was looking to use a M/T because I like the way they look. I just didn't want to go with a tire that would be real crappy to pull with. I have a wile to make a choice. The Mickey Thompson is a nice tire but they don't come in a small enough size to fit under my truck in stock form.

my bfg mt's arent a bad pulling tire or anything just not as good as the at but if i was going to buy a goodyear or bfg mt i would get the bfg km2 just because it is quite a bit quieter than the km and the goodyear and look really bad @$$ :rockon:

Do you have any bigger pics of your truck with the M/T's on it?
