I was not knocking the tire at all . At least not my intention , just wondered why you did that size .
As far as size goes the Revo measures 31.7 with a 3/32 tread depth . I doubt anyone will notice a 3/10th of an inch for the "P" rated , 31.6 for the "E" rated 4/10th of an inch .
BFG AT/KO measure 31.8
The whole package looks totally tough on your truck ! The CF 2/1 lift makes it look perfect.

Hey, I know you were not knocking, I think some of the other members were just having fun with you, I told you why I did it, you should already know I just like to be different, try things that have not been tried, and make costly mistakes along the way.... (lol)
Thanks for the comments

A note about your "special" BFG M/T. Your BFG M/T tire was likely from a 2007-2008 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. The cool thing about this particular size is that it is SPECIALLY-designed by BFG for Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. When the Wrangler Rubicon came out in '07 (as a new design), Jeep wanted a M/T tire that is also good all-season (aka in snow & ice). Therefore, Jeep ask BFG to redesign the BFG tread to be a better all-arounder (better on-road, slightly quieter, and better in bad weather). Thus, these Jeep M/Ts have more biting surfaces and slightly closer lug spacing. If you go to a tire store and look up other sizes of BFG M/T, then you will see a few differences:
1. Other sizes have less biting notches on the center lugs
2. Other sizes have lugs more spaced out, both the center and edge lugs
There is no way to get this particular "Jeep design" in any other sizes than 255/75/17. You have to get this size to get this particular tread design. Otherwise, you have the same toughness as in other BFG M/Ts, including 3-ply sidewall and thick tread.

I had to slam on the brakes this morning on the way to work, I thought I was not going to be able to stop, the tires started to bark and moan, but they gripped and stopped. I could not believe it. There was a driver in front of me sitting at a green light, the light had been green for at least 10 seconds as I was approaching the light, and the driver just sat there, I think the person was texting on a phone or fell asleep, not sure, but I managed to stop, man was I scared. It was hard to bring the 4runner to a stop going from 45mph to zero in a hurry.
Other than that so far so good, they are great off road too, got into some mud over the weekend and never once did the wheels spin or slip...

Went across a small stream (about 30 feet wide) on Saturday night, I made it... with no problems, WOW a good set of tires really makes the difference, I would have never made it with the dunlops, I would have sat and spun until I got stuck. The Mud tires gripped the muddy bottom and climbed out over the bank, on both sides, (amazing) Never once did my traction lights go off or was there any slippage. It was great.
I will go across the river in the day time soon and take pics.

Did my first rototation with a little over 2000 miles on the tires. I went front to back. I see just a little bit of tread ware, other than that they are still going strong. I love taking these tires in the mud/off road, I have so much confidence with them, I hope they do not get me into a situation I cannot get out of.
Anyway, I love them and I wish I had some deep snow to play in!!!
Cheers...

So are those wider ? Taller ? than a 265/70/17 ?
Hard to believe they are cheaper since its not a popular size . Do those come in an BFG AT ?
