If you can go a little bigger and don't mind changing wheels the 37x12.5x16.5 Humvee tires are hard to beat. You can usually find them used in various condition for $100-150 My brother loved them on his F350 and said they wore ok on the logging roads. You may not be able to stuff that large of tire on your ride but its worth taking a look at.

Ended up doing a little shopping around locally, a little price matching and bartering and I got a smoking cash deal on a new set of 315/75R16 BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain KM2's.👍

Ran me 350.00 bucks for my full alignment, needed several new shims and shim pins replaced. Those lifts are hard on stuff if you don't stay on top of things.

The KM 2's should give you longer life and better wear than either of the other two choices.

BFG is owned by Michelin tire and they spend almost 2x as much on R&D as a percent of gross sales than thier nearest competitor... I'm going off the top of my head but i think GDY is 2.8% and Mich is 5.6% ?

Thier old Mud terain tire was SO popular i wonder why they went away from that design... Thier all season wear really well and i've heard good things about the KM2's.

You were smart to have yourrig aligned. Alignment, proper air pressure and rotation will extend the life of your tire a LOT.

I really liked the original Mud-Terrain , this is the first set of KM's I have run. I had BFG All-Terrains on it last and I really liked them. The KM's are a bit noisier but I like the ride. I took it to the best alighnment place I could find. I'm tierd of wearing tires.

I am a believer in annual alignment or at least every 20,000 miles (20k is annual for me).  ball joints and rotations every 3000 miles.  I started getting 10,000 more miles per set when I started paying attention to these factors more frequently.

Just before the tires went on I replaced both wheel hubs, both upper ball joints and the idler arm. It's nice and tight. Normally I don't pay much attention to it, I'm going to stay on top of it and see how much more I can get out of this set.

Yep, thats Chevy for ya! Just kidding, lol..

Still the smart azz remarks, I haven't replied to the last 20 or so. You had mentioned the word"  Instigator " in one of your smart Azz PM's. Might want to look that definition up. I'm not your buddy , your pal or your friend.  I think it's best we just stay away from each other like the Mods suggested. I'm good with it, maybe you can go find someone else to follow around for entertainment. I want nothing to do with you. That's about as crystal clear as I can make it.
