    Wear and worse, balance issues. If I remember correctly I battled with them for 25-30k then just couldn't deal anymore. Off they came

    BFG quality went way downhill when they stopped making tires over 10 years ago. I used to run BFG M/T's exclusively and they just hit the wall. I'd rotate them more than I'd change the oil and it got to the point that that didn't even help. There was a point when like 3 out of 4 of the A/T's they were selling were coming back with separation issues as well.

    When I say BFG stopped making tires, it's true. They went into the aerospace industry and sold the tire side of the business to Michelin. They've reworked a few things and the last time I was shopping tires for my truck the M/T's were more expensive than the Toyo Open Country muds that I have been getting 40K+ miles out of on a 35" tire. I'll stay where I'm at currently and don't forsee running BFG's on anything again. My next purchase will be a new set of 40's for my Jeep. Got Goodyears on that and they seem to be wearing well, and are lighter than the Toyo's.

    I'm running General Grabbers and have had great success with the last THREE sets... Quiet/smooth and even do great in SNOW/ice...

    I see that the Raptor has a very very wide rear axle compared to a typical F150, this width could be a factor along with the differential set up (for wear)... Along with towing/use...
