Bridgestone Dueller A/T Revo's here too....love them. Got about 20k miles on them, no noticable wear. Awesome wet and snow traction, nice look.

I forget what I paid, but I called around and found the lowest price I could and then had America's Tire/Discount Tire do a price match. I'm sure they were still more than BFG's, but I think this is one of the cases where "you get what you pay for."

BFG Long trail AT's. Got the truck at 153K and I am at 192k. Still have them on and there is almost no wear yet. No kidding. I live in Michigan and like to winter steelhead and I seem to have no problem in deep snow, not like my friend's F150 with Yokahamas. I don't know the cost, they were new when I got the truck. I think I'll easily surpass 60k,70k maybe even 80k. Jeff

Here's one from out of left field. How about Cooper Discoverer M&S? I've got 40k on these tires and still have 9/32nds tread left. They cost me $410 mounted, balanced and out the door. They are classified as a winter tire so they are heavily siped for excellent winter traction but they are still quiet & comfortable on the highway and they have heavy lugs so their off road traction has been excellent. I'll buy these tires again in a heartbeat.

Hi all,
New to the forum, but I have a possibly dumb question. My 2005 4x4 tundra came with the POS Bridgestone Dueler H/Ts. The 265/65/17 OE size is hard to find, so what are the consequences of changing sizes? And how far can I go before it really starts affecting stoack wheel clearance, speedometer, torque, etc. I'd be content with a slightly taller tire. Any info would be appreciated.
