This is going to look great.

To address the width issue: Tis a common misconception that the first number represents tread width. It's actually the 'section' width when mounted on a recommended width wheel at a specified pressure. In general, the lower the aspect ration, the wider the tread for a given section width. IE, the 2nd number goes down, the tread is GENERALLY wider.

Did I mention I can't wait to see this done?!

That is why you really have to dig in and study each tire you are considering the tech specs vary from brand to brand and I find there are even a lot of sizes exclusive to certain brands. Nitto is very good at making odd sizes that we want. If I was not a BFG guy I would get Nitto's they are nice tires.

I noticed BFG started making a 275/65R20 ATKO, which IMO is the best tire on the market. The unfortunate part of it is they are the Load Range E tires.

They changed the compound and the tread pattern on the LR E tires, they SUCK in the snow. That's 3/4 the reason I WANT ATs if for the snow. Oh well...

That is why I went with LT285/65R20 they are still the good all season and rated for severe snow. They specify the 265 not being rated for severe snow.

I have heard that they don't wear well but I have never owned them. Anyone else have similar experience as he did?
