Just got a set on my truck last week...I had never heard anything bad about them....Now you guys have me worried. I did go with load Range "E" because the "D" rated BFG AT's I had wore like crap.

they're not that bad, but the rears wear much faster than the fronts. mainly because I am lazy and never rotated them, and because I needed a reason to buy 20's and new tires.
I probably wouldn't buy them again, but the price WAS right............

I have heard you have to keep them rotated. About half the people you hear love them, and the other half hate them. I'm kind of torn on whether I'm going to get them next time or not.

Toyo Open Country FTW. I heard they wear much nicer.

I've got them on my '06 ford. had 'em for about 15,000 miles of relatively heavy towing with no burn outs and I rotated them every 5000 miles. I don't think they will make the inspection next month. They don't do great in the mud. They look good and ride well, but I'm disappointed in how long they have lasted

Nittos look GREAT, ride OK...but that is it! Horrid off road, suck in the sand and mud, too loud for such crappy off road traction, sluggish and sloppy at high speeds and dont last very well at all! Made the mistake once, wont make it again. BFG or TOYO are much better options...sure they cost a little more up front, but both will last much longer and perfom much, much better off road. Everyone I know that has owned a set will not make the same mistake twice. You can expect around 50K out of the Toyos and BFGs.
