Just replaced my 265/70r/17 BFG KO'S with a 285 KO. I got 70K miles on the 265s with plenty of tread left to keep running them, but got cornfed 3/2 and wanted bigger tires. I live in ALABAMA and its the perfect tire for ON/OFF ROAD, AND WITH 70K+ MILES U CANT GO WRONG, WELL WORTH THE MONEY+ THEY JUST LOOK BETTER.
