Every stock tire on an F-150 (minus the BFGs on the Raptor) and every stock tire on every RAM (Minus the BFGs they used to put on the Power Wagon, not sure what they put on the Rebel), and I have no idea what GM uses (unless they're $300/each Michelins on every one...which I doubt). And sorry, I can't say I know anything about Nissans and Toyotas.

Hey there you wanna run the Hellcat?:lol: :lol: :lol:
This is a 315 Drag radial on a stock wheel :lol:

Here's a dyno queen with absolutely no mods except (totally streetable) tires, ready to stomp the other cars in this thread. Prove me wrong

Define shit? Wet, dry, snow traction? wear? Rolling resistance? Handling?
There's too many trade offs with tires and you can't please anybody.
BFGs are the worse tires I've ever had on my trucks.

Milan opens soon. Boduke is trollin' for races.
I'll be out there sat!
Other than dry, summer, street only applications, I've found OEM truck rubber to be crap.
BFG All-Terrain T/A KOs aren't great in mud (known fact), but are still better than factory rubber (Goodyear Wrangler RSAs for example). I've personally had about 6 sets of them with nothing but excellent results, especially in snow and wet conditions. I typically went up a size (about 1" in diameter) and would routinely lose about 1-1.5 mpg (acceptable to me given their performance improvement). This was on everything from Ranger Extended cabs to Dakota Quad Cabs, to Ram 1500s to F-150s. Longevity-wise, the least amount of mileage I've ever gotten out of a set was 72,000 miles and they still had tread just barely above the wear bars. The most I got out a set was 87,000+ on my Ranger. I always run staggered pressures and rotate them every other oil change (this is key in my experience). My dad has been running them for decades on all of his work trucks (F-250s and F-350s) with similar results. He typically gets about 55,000-60,000 miles from a set. However, he was always hauling loads and/or pulling trailers.
And if BFGs suck so bad, why do OEMs use them on some of the most expensive trucks they produce?
I understand there is always a trade-off with everything. My opinion is that OEM truck tires generally suck.
Sorry for the side track...back to Raj's car not fitting 315s.

We're only hijacking the ZL1 which will be half off next summer anyways.
Not many people are willing to sacrifice 1-1.5 MPG over a tire and the air borne noise on a BFG AT is horrible but perfectly acceptable on a Raptor. I consider the top of the line F150 a Platinum which has 22" Pirelli's, great for noise and dry weather traction but crap for snow and wear.

Hey there, are you still trying to call out stock vehicles with your built LS powered Camaro?
Lucky for you, I happen to also have a built LS powered street car. I'm down, are you? Name the track, the date, and the amount.

What kind of car is it?
He's calling me out, not vice versa
Unfinished business!
Are you racing?

It's a Grand National, but it doesn't matter, you won't do anything anyhow. Anyone that has a built car that goes around calling out factory stock vehicles should take up stamp collecting or bird watching, because drag racing clearly isn't your thing.
I have a daily driver style S197 car going together slowly that you might actually have the sack to try, so I'll let you know when that ones done. That's the slowest one I have that I'll race a built car with, so if that one is too much.....sorry?
