I had a set of BFG Long Trail T/A's on my 05, and on my 98 before I put
18's on (lasted 60k too). Probably the best tires I've had on any
truck, from the Goodyear Invicitas?, wranglers, eagles, Toyo Proxies, or
a few other off brands. They're a good tire for rain / snow, but very
good for dry conditions and on the highway too. Other than they're a
bit pricey, I really can't say anything bad about them.... just a damn
good tire!

Fronts NEW GOOK skins are fucked wild wear on the outside. Backs are within 1-3 mm of lettin the wear bars out.
