BFG All Terrain ride
#11
I had a set of 33" on my TJ. I ran them at 24 psi. Good ride and not too noisy. I also ran them at 10 psi in the rocks. They are not all that good in the rocks. But, the best all around tire I ever had. They lasted for about 40,000 miles.

imho... I like the C-load rated BFG AT's, but the E-rated have too stiff sidewalls for the JK. That in combo with the heavier weight made for an uncomfortable ride even with air pressure reduced 5psi.

I'm running these and have ended up with the opposite effect. At first they were a bit rough of a ride. Not too loud, excellent off road, but kind of bouncy. I lowered the pressure to 30-32 or so and the ride improved. Then I put on the OME 2", Currie adj control arms FT adj trackbars and a D44 front axle and the handling really went downhill. I put on Spidertrax 1.5 spacers because the control arms are so stout (fat) that the uppers were rubbing on the rears and the handling improved greatly, but it still wasn't where I thought it should be. After a trail ride I filled to 42 psi and the handling was back to where I thought it should be and the ride is great. When I go 35's I'm sticking to the KM2's. Work with your tire pressure and how it reacts to your lift, etc and I think you will quickly come to love those tires.

Thanks Guy's, I will be ordering the BFG 285-70-17 KO's today. In this tire (All Terrain KO) the D rating is the lowest rated side wall I can get right?
