Title says it, need to drop my truck off this morning for some new tires. Which would you pick between the two? Both are about the same price. Thanks baws.

I put a set of Nitto's on my F150, gas mileage dropped about a mile per gallon on the highway.

Prolly picking other tires.... Not to bust on you, but neither are the better selections in this class.
Cooper AT3s and the Michelin LTX AT2s are better tires. I have prolly 56k on my coopers AT3s and will get another 10-15k brefore having to change them out. I will go with the Michelins next

My boss has 70,000 on his BFG A/T KO and a good bit of tread left, but he has a lighter truck.

I just rolled 70,000 miles on my 2014 F-250 if that tells you how much I drive, looking for something in the lower price range since I'll be changing them every year and a half anyways. Both of these tires in a 275/65R20 are already right at 1500 bucks

If you drive that much I would go with a tire with a mileage warranty.

I have Nitto's on my 1/2 ton 4x4 have about 40k miles on them. I rotate them every 5k miles because it's free with the oil change but I have plenty of tread left.

I had an old set of BFG ATs go to somewhere around 90. I had them on a Tacoma, gave them to a buddy with an F150 at 70k, and he gave them to his grandpa to put on an F100 at 85k. Someone mistakenly cut his tires one night, and he had to get new ones, but they lasted a damn long time.

I have no idea how many miles the ones on my 2500HD have on them. I have had the truck for 28k, and they probably have another 5k left on them.

Longevity, gotta give it to the proven time and time again BFGs

The Toyo AT2s are a great choice as well.

I barely got 35K out of the last set of BFGs ATKOs on my F250. The set on my dads (lighter) truck still look great with about 40K on them though.

Yikes, wish I would have noticed this post earlier. I was worried about tread life with the weight of F-250.

Looks like I might be tire shopping again sooner than I thought.

Went with the BFG A/T KOs

You'll be happy with your purchase. You're driving a heavy vehicle. Can't help that

Those are the new KO2's. They're supposed to hold up longer.
