Default New Tires on the way!

Well I decided to go ahead and order BFG KM2 345 75 16" to replace my Nitto Mud Grapplers. I was able to get 45k out of them. I just wanted to go to a "D" instead of "E" rated tire, I also wanted to go slightly taller. Hope they fit!

Its specs say 36.3 x 13.58 wide, but BFGs tend to run about an inch less than their specs say.

Yes, measured with a straight edge flat on tire- 35.6 on the height and side wall to side wall 13". I went this route too- due to my Nittos were "E" rated tire and were beating me up on rough roads. Nice hum on road -no where near the Nitto B-1 BOMBER sound.
