I am greatly happy with the BFG 275's.... look sporty as heck.. If you look
at the rear of one on a 97+ dak, (with 275's) it makes ya drool... (well...
it does make me wanna drool)
I payed $69.99 (+10 mounting) for each... not bad... I've had them about 6
months, and you can barely see they have worn... (and thats racing at the
track one time, and racing on the street a heck of alot) They corner great,
and have good traction too.... I'd recomend ya check on the BFG's! I think
they are great for the price IMHO.... but they aint fer my truck.... =)
