Nitto's vs. BFG AT KO's

[josh220]

How much bigger are BFG's compared to Nitto's of the same size, say 265/70/17's? Just curious because I am using pictures as reference, but they have BFG's and I have Nitto's. Is it significantly less beefy with Nitto's?

It is apparently significant with 4runner owners because i hear people rub at extreme steering angle with BFG but not with other AT tires of the same size. According to manufacturer's stats, here are the facts:

BFG AT KO 265/70/17 Load Range C = 16/32" tread depth, 10.7 width, 31.8 diameter, 654 rpm (rev per mile)

BFG AT KO 265/70/17 Load Range E = 16/32", rest of stats same as above

Nittos TG 265/70/17 Load Range E = 15.6/32", 10.94 width, 31.61 diameter, 657 rpm

So, based on above stats, it seems like Nittos is a tiny big wider (surprise for me), but slightly shorter in diamter. The "rev per mile" confirms that when rolling the Nittos is a shorter (less diameter) tire. BTW, the "rev per mile" is what you look at when comparing a tire's "tallness."

Hope this helps.

Exactly what I needed to know, appreciate it.
