Not sure where to really put this thread so I'm gonna throw it in here. Feel free to move it if it is not in the right spot!!

I'm looking into buying new tires. Looking for an aggressive tread because I do a lot of hunting and mudding. I am currently in between the following..

Any info or opinions you guys have on these would be great. The size I'm looking to get is 33 x 12.5.

Kumho Road Venture MT KL71

BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO

Nitto Part 200-760 - 33x12.50R-17LT, Mud Grappler Tire by Nitto

Not really concerned with road noise, but just would like to know about wear and traction really.

Thanks!!

I have a set of the nittos they weat fast if you dont rotate them every 5000 miles... if you rotate them like you should they will last you awhile i have had mine a long time due to proper rotation

The Nitto's wear VERY fast, the BFG All- Terrains last forever, but aren't very aggressive looking. The tire I have had good luck with are the Toyo Open Country's. They grip good and don't wear fast at all

I had BFG's on the F-250 at work for a while. They are ok.

The Nitto's are good, but as stated before, wear faster if you don't rotate them. No experience, just heard this.

But I did hear that the Kumho tires were pretty good for the money and have a nicer tread pattern and side wall look.


Your money, but my vote would be Kumho.

Have you thought about Toyo's or Mickey Thompson's? Love my M/T's.

in my experience, the BFG's hands down will last you the longest. i'm riding on a set of BFG MT's now. somebody also mentioned the Toyo MT's. i have them bad boys also and they are very nice and aggressive. can't go wrong with either. gl

I had some nitto trail grapplers and they did really good for me with no significant wear... I've always heard the mud grapplers were awful when it came down to wear, so I wouldn't go down that route lol.

Toyo MTs but are expensive. But I would pay the $$ to get them again.

I've been wanting wider tires, I was looking at the Nitto 420's in 305/50/20.
My question is if I go with the 305's will they be sticking out or will they look like the 275's?

305/50R20 will be about 12" wide, so yes they will stick out farther than your 275s. They will also be about 32" tall
