Bob,
I'm running the BFG 255/50-17 ZR4's on my truck right now and I
love them. Lots of grip in the corner. I've taken the truck
canyon carving and they haven't even shown any noticable wear.
They have a pretty high wear rating. On my previous car, a 95 firebird,
I was running 245/50-16 VR4's and I autocrossed with them and It
took a lot to tear them up.
