How do you like those tires compared to the factory tires, am I am very interested in buying them but since 90% of time on road and 10% off road I don't want the bad humming that comes along with very aggressive tread tires.

kinda quiet on the responses... Hopefully somebody chimes in cause I think I'm leaning towards this size (in BFG KM2 form) instead of the 35's I have been planning on. With money getting tight, the 305/65's will give me a lot more tire than stock without the added cost of having to re-gear. The difference in the gears and tires comes to about $2000. This can be diverted into bumpers and a winch.

So, I'll double the original request for pics and reviews!

The way the tire size breaks down is simple
255/75r17
255=width of the tread in millimeters
75= aspect ratio or the height of the sidewall in a percentage (75% of 255)
17= rim size
