I was getting lazy on the alignment and saw this at the gas station.. Seeing the pattern and the way the dirt was sticking to the tire, I went to get an alignment asap lol

So I have the 20x9 inch rim with a leveling kit and was wanting to upgrade my stock 275/60R20 tires to something bigger. I was thinking 285/65 or a 295/60 tire until I talked with a Dodge dealership and a 4x4 place today. They both said that I can fit a 305/55R20 on my stock rim as long as I have a leveling kit on the truck. So now I am thinking of buying the 305 tire. Can anyone answer if a 285, 295 or a 305 would be a better choice? I am obviously looking for a bigger wider tire but I don't want to stuff the whole wheel well if you know what I mean. Recommendations?

Well when you post them on craigslist. Be sure to use that good side for the main image. Remember, "20% tread remaining" and "no curb rash" for a guaranteed sale.

The 305/55 is basically the same height, just wider. Depends on what you want

In my Experience BFG's are one of the best tires made. Came standard on a lot of F Body's in the 90's. Great tire, one of my top 3 choices. I like the white letters though.

Hell they still come standard on off road style vehicles

I'm sure they do, I just happen to owned 3 90's F Body's is why I said that. However, I think Goodyear is far up the manu's ass these days thanks to NASCAR, so they have a leg up imo.

BFG's come standard cause of the name brand and the deals they have made with the automakers. Doesn't mean they are a good or bad tire. Only means they come standard.

From what I have read, there are better tires out there than BFG's. People tend to look at them first because of the name brand and the fact that they were the king, back in the 90's and early 00's.

How do these compare to the BFG KO2?

I would find it hard to pick bfg over the coopers.

Thrasher, how long ago was it that you had the coopers?
