Default Recommend an all terrain tire..

Well I am stock size. (255/75/17). I want to get rid of my load range E tires. Too stiff.

I want something load C that will be good on road and in the snow.

I was looking at the BFG K/O AT but it seems they do not come in that stock size?

Any alternatives?

I don't know if they come in your size, but I can't say enough about my Toyo Open Country MT's. I use them as a daily driver in the Northeast and they've been great in every condition, on or off road. They're not cheap, but I got a great price at Town Fair Tire, which are all over the place in Ct., and possibly in Westchester.

Thanks but I think I am looking more for an all terrain. What load rating are the Toyos?

Toyo has an AT tire as well, but I'd still recommend the MT's. They're quieter and handle better than anything I've owned in the past, and handle wet weather better than the BF Goodrich AT's, in my opinion. I've put 16k miles on it driving into Manhattan just about everyday and never lost confidence in snow or rain. Hope this helps!

I give you credit for riding in manhattan. I feel like my wheels are going to fall off on the roads there! What load range are they?

Those are a nice tire but don't seem to come in the stock size.

They have the BFG AT K/O in 255/70/17, would that fit ok?

Default Have I got a deal for you . . . .

I will sell you my stock Bridgestone Dueler A/T 255/7018 and stock Sahara wheels w/ TPMS. Alot cheaper than you can buy 5 new tires.

Excellent tires!
