I'm on my second set of BFG 285/70/18 ATs - the current being the KO2s. They're perfect. They ride great. They're quiet. They're great off road (ih8mud). They've never left me stranded in snow (I live in Atlanta). And, they fit like BFG made them for the 100 - even thinking of the spare well. I'm going to end up with around 60,000 miles on this set. Yeah, 60,000 doing a 4-tire rotation every 5k.
So, of course it makes sense to change. But... I saw one of y'all's (yeah, Atlanta) 100s on 305s and thought "Damn... that looks better." That's it. It's just the looks.
Everything I've read tells me there's no rubbing with 305/65/18s. My question or concern comes down to two points - one subjective, one objective...
Objective: What are you doing about a spare? Is this the final nudge toward a swing-away?
Subjective: After going to steel wheels and 33s, am I going to notice or care about another couple pounds of rubber spinning around under this 5,600 lb truck?
Thanks!
See... plenty of room
