Hey Guys, curious if there are any of you out there running the 285/55R20 BFG T/A KO. What are your thoughts on the tire, snow performance, road noise etc.. Also, anyone running this tire on a stock half ton with no rubbing?

 

[CabinDweller]

Great question! I was just going to post a similar question...

I was wondering if a 285 would fit on a stock 20" rim and also if I could run a 285/55/20 with a 1" leveling kit.

I'll be watching this thread for ideas and answers. Thanks.

CabinDweller, I was impatiently awaiting and got no responses so I went for it and installed them. The tires have a fraction of rub on the mudflap when turning if you didn't want to trim I'm sure you could hammer it out and be fine without any lift. I have a 2.5" RC leveling kit in the mail to alleviate this problem. Hope this helps you.

 

[CabinDweller]

Thank you for the update. That size is crazy expensive! Dang. Do you have any pics you can post?

 

[Captain91]

They certainly aren't cheap, I think I paid $378 ea. No pictures as of yet, we are in the midst of a heavy snowstorm now hopefully next weekend I'll be able to take some pictures with and without the lift.

Wasn't able to get the level kit in this weekend, hopefully next weekend. Here's a couple rushed pictures of the tires. I'll take better ones once the level is in.

They look real good. Nice truck too.

2.5" Rough Country level kit is now installed.

They are probably some of the best looking tires IMO, especially white letters out! My only complaint is their snow performance, but I ran them on a RCSB, so the light weight of the truck may have something to do with that too...

 

[Captain91]

We just had a storm of the ages, 20' drifts in some places I found they performed to my expectation and beyond. They did have troubles on the slicker stuff and ice I found however.

 

[tcnoakes]

Yeah I suppose that is what I meant. Hard packed snow and ice.

Captain91 that is a great looking Sierra ! Nicely done.

I have run BFGs on nearly every truck that I have owned and found them to be a solid all around tire. I hope your experience is the same.
