Went to discount tire to price new BFG tires. $1,500 for 4 BFG AT? Does that sound right? My Michelins are about to bite the dust, so, I'm shopping for alternatives.

Where did you buy your BFG, and what did you pay? Thanks!
 
305/65/18? If so, that price seems about right. They are currently listed at $347/tire. Why 305? Need the width? I'm on 275/70/18 KO2 and like them a lot. They area 33 vs 33.6, but work well. I'm about to make the a jump up in size to 34 via the Cooper ST MAXX 295/70/18 which cost a bunch less (around $90/tire) than the KO2 in the 305/65/18 format.

Is that mounted aAnd balanced out the door for $1500? If so I think that’s a decent price. I picked mine up last year on sale with free shipping from 4wheelparts for $1350 but then I still had to take them somewhere to get them mounted and balanced. I love the size. I think it’s the perfect 18” size for the 100.

Falken Wildpeak AT3W'S in the size you want are $238. with free shipping from simpletire right now. Haven't heard a bad thing about them, I have a set in a different size on my LX570. For the size you want, 19/32 tread depth vs ko2 15/32 and a $109 cheaper each.

I would have put a new set of the Falken's on my 100, but I only paid 33% of the cost on my new set of K02's.
 
any pics of falken's installed?
 
holy crap... the BFG in LT275/70R18 are 100 per tire cheaper... Seems like a huge difference.

Yup! One of the reasons I went with those. You could be ALL 5 with install and warranty for the price of 4 of the 305s. The ONLY negative to the 275 I have found is that they don't protect the bead of the wheel quite as well as a wider tire.
 
update. Ordered the 305 r18 BFG from simple tire... 1200 delivered. Got an email today and the tires are no longer available. I then went to my local shop and ordered the BFG in LT275/70R18... mounted and balanced for $1,200.

At the end of the day, I'm a BFG fanboy and adore them on the UJZ 100. Will post pics once installed.

geanes, thanks for your help... I appreciate your knowledge. Hoping my LX470 turns out half as good as your white LX.

Thanks! I think you'll really love the 275/70/18 KO2s. 33" is really the perfect size for the 100 series cruiser.
 
Huge improvement over stock rubber.

HA. Just ordered the slee sensor override. truck rides like a limo.
 
on Sunday I had my truck parked at the hotel loading up to leave... Valet complimented me on my tires. I like it when my truck gets compliments in a sea of escalades and land rovers.
