Just picked these up today :)

[Bush_aholic]

Well I got these for a price I couldn't refuse......Looks like you woun't have that inch on me after all SKRWZ....lol

The tires a true 35" BFG Mud KM's to go on my black truck when ever I feel like it, probly after the BD Lift since my mickey's already rub in bad holes. What a difference in size between a 315 and 35's...and they have less than 1000km's on them.

The Rims get to go on the F250 first thing tomorrow morning due to the ones already on the truck being bent.....new ones are polished the old ones aren't so that's a bonus!

I have a soft spot for a good set of BFG's

[fordtough.ca]

Very nice
Post some pics when you get them on

[Fordwheeler]

Nice upgrade.

[canadian.bacon]

very nice! i'm torn between those tires (in a smaller size) and the all terrains. stock truck can't get to crazy offroad so i lean towards the all terrains though atm.

[Lilbigtrk]

nice man really nice,

I had the all terrains in a 285/75/R16 and loved them as well, BFG makes good stuff here is a pic of them. Mud tires are truly better on heavy vehicles if it's a all around Daily and bush driver. For light trucks if you don't plan to go off road too much a good all terrain is much better

I'm also gonna talk to my tire guy about studding the Mickey Thompson's for this winter and I will keep the BFG's for summer:icon_twisted:

Great upgrade and can't wait to see the photos them on your truck!!!

my understanding is mud tires are better on snow, and all terrains better on ice. though its all relative to how skinny a tire is for ice. bfg all terrains are winter rated too. i think aside from recreation (if any) i'll be doing 70% on road/hwy driving and 30% dirt/bush driving. worst of which is about a 1.5 km pathway to my parents cottage that i've been stuck on twice already this summer :( major hate for the goodyear wrangler tires that came on the truck.

just a matter of justifying the higher price and lower tread life for that added offroad traction :icon_confused:

[Bush_aholic]

That's why I will be studding my Mud tires(the Mickey's) since I have another set of BFG's Mud's for summer now, city driving in the winter is fun with mud tires I was almost always in 4x4, pumping the breaks(I try not to stress out my ABS....lol).

Don't forget the Mud's look meaner and are a little more noisy.

[Northern Supercrew]

nice snag Gab...let's see em mounted...on my truck.:icon_lol: damn 18" rims:icon_lol: don't forget the mud pics...

[Bush_aholic]

lol.....nice try though!^^^

Found out today they won't stud my Mickey's because they have seen pavment he said if his stud gun hit's a rock in my tire the gun will break....BOOOO

I think I will try to get a second opinion, maybe a thrid and a fourth until I find one that doesn't care about it.

[fordtough.ca]

Studs in your brand new Mickey's????
Are sure ?

[canadian.bacon]

ya its a tough call for me, im thinkin i'll just get the all terrains since i really can't do to much real offroading mechanically with what i have right now.

i'm not sure how much money or time this requires but i remember reading a month so ago somewhere about a tire sipping tool. some sort of heated thing you can attach various sized cutting tips to. i believe they use it on a set of the bfg mud terrains, supposedly not only helps on ice but also in mud. helps anywhere really cause it makes the big lugs more flexible to various surfaces, being more flexible helps forces mud and snow out of the gaps also.

although i'd imagine it would increase tire wear on the street, and if you dont have a tire or two to practice on you might ruin an expensive one too!

Sure am since I have a bran new set of 35" BFG Mud KM's to put on the truck in the summer, truck would be killer with studded mud's for the winter :) Just need to find someone that would stud them or I'm SOL, short of buying my own gun:icon_rolleyes:

Canadian.Bacon I think I might stick to studs since those are pretty pricey tires to experiment with, go with the A/t's you woun't regret it, I never got stuck with mine when they were on the truck

[canadian.bacon]

probably for the best! you'd think a tire shop would just inspect a used tire before hand for rocks or anything if they were studding it though. i dont even think us southerner's are even allowed studs on roads :icon_cry: i dont know why though since all the roads are terrible as is lol

[Bush_aholic]

They just starting letting Ontarians to stud tires in winter I thought it was all ontario.....hmmmm If you wanted it done I sure your local tire shop would know.....I though the same thing about the rocks, how hard is it to see rocks my threads are pretty hard I doubt a rock could embed itself in a tread without being noticeable.

[canadian.bacon]

you could be right about all ontario actually cause now that i think of it i saw a studded nokian tire on sale in a shop last week. those were rediculously expensive too. this being my first truck i guess all tires are expensive though, i had a winter, summer and track set of rubber for my old civic for about the same as 5 bfg all terrains + 15x8 rims... mind you the rangers millage is about on par with that civic so i guess you win some and loose some haha :(

[SKRWZ]

Hey nice find... congrats :rock:

[CanadianRanger]

In New Brunswick, you are allowed to have studded tires between October 15 and May 1. Anything before or after those dates, nets you a $186 donation to the authorities.

and to the retardation category. Studded tires wouldn't last a week on dry pavement in the summer

It doesn't stop the idiots from "clicking" around on them in the summer......LOL

Well after allot of research I have decided to go with siping my tires myself, instead of studs, I will do a write up afterwards, remember I will only be running these in the winter from now on too, probably with minimal Km's put on them in a winter due to never being home and all....lol

[canadian.bacon]

very cool, the tool itself isn't that much, you should just pick up a used tire from a scrap yard to get a feel for the burning action.

[Bush_aholic]

I have a few tires to practice on before hand and I think I might just make my own tool and make it a fixed 1/4" depth and touch the threads up as needed as my tires ware down. Won't have heated knife but mud tire compound is fairly soft to begin with, if I feel the need for heat on the blades, my oxy/propane torch will help me out.

Should cost me no more than 10$ and a little time, like I said before I have spent several hours/days reading up on my options and pro's and cons. If I like the results after testing them out when the wheather comes in I might just do the BFG's on the F250 too.

were are the pics of em on the truck, lets see the rest of your baby
