Help... cant choose a new tire size.....

Well I have narrowed the choices down to three.
1. 255/85/16 bfg mt's
2. 305/70/16 BFG mt's
3. 315/75 16 bfg KM2's.
I have no plans of regearing in the immediate future and I don't use the 80 as a daily driver. I just dont know how poor the 80 will perform offroad with the larger tires.

Stock gears and DD, 295/75 for the largest size. Options are limited to BFG A/t or the Hankook Dyna Pro. Koreans make good tires.

looks like interco will be releasing the M-16 in that size next month. I just dont know if I like the cheesy bullets on the sidewall.

Well I got some new-to-me 285/75/16 BFG muds. We shall see how well they fit the bill. so far so good and not to mention the fact that I got four for the price of one new tire.

I think you'll be happy with those. I have the same tire size and it's rare that I wish I had something bigger.
