Where'd you find them that cheap? May go with them if I can find the same deal, otherwise, I'm gonna try for Nitto Trail Grapplers once they put out the new size later this year.

Well done. I dont have a matching spare, but have a set of same sized spares on wheels that I can use any one as a spare or swap the set if ever needed.
5 tire rotation is nice, but I like new tires and its easier to wear out 4 than 5 and when they where out I can try some new ones.

WOW... just goes to prove the rule of Supply/Demand. When I first got my BFGs, I got all 4 for $300! I should have bought 10! When I got my 5th tire, I paid over 100 just for the tire... Seems as though the price keeps rising for these tires.
I absolutely love my tires though. Great choice, Jim. We'll have to get the locals out and get our trucks nice and dirty when you're all set up.

Ooops! Didn't think about the spare. Will have to go back and get another one. Got them from an ebay seller "YourNextTire". At the time of order he had a dozen of them left. 255/75/17's

Yeah, they're the only one that BFG is still producing because they are/were the stock tire for the Rubicon edition Jeeps.
They have the different tread pattern, as referenced in my post on the prior page.

If it's on a 16" rim it is... if it's on a 17" rim, it's a 32".
You have to do the math:
255mm * 0.75 = 191.25mm profile height
191.25mm = 7.52in
17in rim + ( 7.52in * 2 ) = 32.04in overall diameter
16in rim + ( 7.52in * 2 ) = 31.04in overall diameter

Dind ding ding! You are correct sir..
And good call on snaggin up a 5th for your spare. Very good prices indeed! I wish I had 17" wheels, but my TB had the 18" ers. But can't wait to see some pics once you get em on, and you should start your own build thread.

Highway Tread... I don't see the point in wasting perfectly good offroad tires in the city. That'd be my choice if you have a separate set of tires specifically for offroading.
See for example: Goodyear Fortera SilentArmor
Or at most a streetable A/T like the Firestone Destination A/T or the Bridgestone Dueler A/T
Firestone:
Bridgestone:
They'll perform much better in the wet and on the asphalt, and get better mileage to boot.
