    Bfg ko2 275/70/18 or 285/65/18 can get a great price on both trying to decide. Taller vs wider, the big difference I noticed is the 285 are 14 pounds heavier and 31 pounds heavier than my stock at2s Any help? The extra weight has me wondering.

    I would go wider if planning to go off road much IMO.

    I had 275/70/18 on my last truck. Currently have 285/65/18 BFG AT 2's and I prefer the wider stance/ look vs taller /skinner. Good luck with the decision.

    Sorry. Should have been more clear. I meant to convey to go wider, meaning larger aspect ratio. Not wider as in tire size (height). My bad. That's what I get for answering too fast.

    Not nearly enough room here!
    Here's a pic of 285-65-18 Michelin AT2's on my 2010.Only way I've noticed the additional weight, is my mileage dropped by 1.The extra tread depth should get me longer wear.Last set of tires was stock size AT2's and they were good for better than 55,000 miles.

    I put 285/65/18 trail grapplers on my truck and I have been able to notice a little low MPG. Haha power on the truck and all is the same. It gave it a nice aggressive look that I was searching for though so I'm happy.

    And as stated above, wider your tire, the better if you're planning on going off-road.

    They aren't the BFGs, but Im running the Cooper stt pros in 275/70/18. I do have 2.5 lift up front and 1.5 in the back. I have had them for about two weeks. I Love the look and set up. I rub at full lock on the skid plate.

    I noticed it. Truck seems to have to shift more often and I lost about 1 mpg. Good luck with your decision.

    Here is one of the sizes you are looking @ on my truck! Tires: BFG Ko2's/ 285/65/R18.......my wheels have a 0 offset so they stick out further than stock wheels. I notice the rolling weight a lot when accelerating from a dead stop and breaking performance is a noticable decrease! But I love the way they look. and I adusted my driving appropriatly and did not notice after 4 weeks of driving on them. I actually got better gas millage with the KO2's than I did with my stock sized hankook's....I like the way the wider tire feels when driving! A very stable platform. The BFG KO2's are hands down the best looking tire out there right now. They perform amazing. I get stopped all the time by people wanting to know what they are! Nitto Grapplers got nothing on these!

    Wider tires can be better if you need loft on extremely soft surfaces, but narrow tires will have more friction against the surface and conform to the terrain better. 10mm won't make that much of a difference though,and you can fit 285/70 and 285/75 in these wheel wells without having to cut (provided that the front is lifted a few inches from stock).

    I think you'd need at least a 2.5-3" lift up front to fit 285/75-18s, might be able to get away without trimming anything since they're only 11.2" wide though.
