I've got 275/65/R20 BFG AT Ko2's on my 16 F150. Got about 25K on them and they look pretty much brand new. They ride smoother, and are way quieter than the AT3s I had. I've really been impressed with them. Only drawback is they don't offer the size I like in white letter.

Something to consider when buying tires and when you aren't too happy about a particular tire's wear characteristics or noise is:

When was the last time you put new shocks on your truck? Just because your truck doesn't go bouncing down the road like Peter Rabbit, doesn't mean your shocks aren't ready to be replaced. They are realistically about a 50k mile item.

I replaced the shocks on my 1968 F100 last month. Prefix was C8 which means they were original to the truck. It was honestly amazing how worn out they were, and how much better the truck drove and rode with new Monroes.

Monroe shocks are very reasonably priced. My previous Ford Ranger seemed like it was riding fine with the old shocks, but my tires were cupping. I bought new tires and had them installed and bought 4 new Monroe shocks for super cheap and installed them myself in less than an hour and it made a huge difference.

I’ve gone through 6-7 sets of Nittos now running Toyo and MUCH prefer the Toyo over Nitto.

On several friends advice I bought a set of wildpeaks. Liked them so much got a second set on my wife's Jeep. So a 10 ply version on my Chevy hd and the p rated for the grocery getter been happy with both. Paid $660 for the LT 265/70r16s and $650 for the p245/65r17. But just priced a set out for the Yukon today in the 10 ply LT version 18" rims and it was gonna be $800+. But Michelin are $1200. I have never got more than 45k out of at least 10 sets of the BFG ko's. But if you don't put many miles on and have $1200 to burn go with the BFG's they are awesome except for wear.

We have always had extra farm trucks and put tons of miles on them (over the years) and our regular vehicles (annually).

Just put BFG AT KO2s on my 2016 Tundra Pro. 275/70/18 Nice fit. Very surprised at how quiet the ride is. Also didn’t loose any mpg over 265 stock

I just put a set of Ironman AT's on my old F150 based on the recommendations of a few friends and they seem to be good so far. Very reasonably priced. I have the Toyo AT 2's on my Jeep and they've been great up until recently. I'm at about 60% tread and they have become much worse on wet roads. They're also heavy compared to other AT tires.
