*PIC REQUEST* REVO vs BFG T/A KO 4th Gen

Looking for pics (white letter out preffered) of 265/70-17s on 4th Gen of both the REVOs and BFG T/A KOs. I've been searching through the threads and my eyes are getting tired.

Thanks

I've gotta say ... while I have never driven on REVOS, if you plan to spend a decent amount of your time on-road, then REVOS have a very good reputation for being great in all conditions. The BFGs are great too, but lack a bit in the rain.

Thanks guys, keep em coming. It's going to take alot to convice me of the BFGs. However, I'm a "look" kinda guy and if the BFGs look better to me, that can go a long way.

question: What lift are you going to get that will give you 3.5"?? If you plan on that amount of lift, you can certainly fit a 285 with some work.

Looking at the Revtek. I hear that it's the cat's meow of lifts.

Do remember one thing though. The Revo's are P rated for the 17's I believe. Not sure what the BFG's are so that might also sway your decisions.

GOod luck and make sure you base your decisions on the #'s and not the look cuz looks only go so far

Tirerack shows them as SR rating.

Don't worry, even though looks mean alot to me, safety and $$ mean even more.

P adn LT refers mostly to the type or load rating range of the tire. In general it means a thicker sidewall for LT tires (read morre puncture resistant). The BFG can be had in LT for 17" wheels the Revo not.

SR is speed rating.

Make sure and check the actual "load rating" on the BFG's.
I have the "D" load range (8 ply rating) and they are a little on the stiff side.

"SR" generally means that they are going to be a "P-metric".
