I am looking to sell my beadlocks with LT315/75R16 Tires and go with American Razing 16 in Rims and Tires.

Let me know what manufacture and size preference you have.. I am mainly using on-road around town.

My thoughts are BFG All Terrain 33 x 10.5 - 12.5

I like to stick around 33-34 inch as well, but like the tire you are removing, I tend to use metric sizing.

I'm kinda partial to mud terrains, white letters out, and 33x12.50 on 15x10 rims. I think rim width has a lot to do with overall appearance though. It all depends if it's your DD or weekend use only. Anyways......that's my .02

33's for me

I'm running the 33X12.50X10. I think they fit the truck perfect. Not to big, not to small!

I am currently running 33x12.5 BFGs. However, they rub a bit. I am in the market to move to 31x10.5. Hopefully, I can bump the MPG a bit, plus, hopefully my tire rubbing issues when turning the wheel will diminish.

Depends on the lift.

+1, all about a good proportion lift to tire size. For me it's 35x13.5x15 Toyo open country M/T on 15x10 wheels.

My favorite tire is Nitto trail grapplers, but have had good experience with BFG, Goodyear & Toyo mud terrains. I did not care for Nitto terra grapplers and not a big fan of any "all terrain".

Baja Claws 35x15.5 on 10 inch rims. Always wonder if I should have put them on 12s... (would be too wide for the trailer though)

This exactly. It seems the 12.50's fit and look better on 10" wheels.

I dunno, but it looks like the winner is 33x12.50s. Here's the wife's 76 with a 2.5 SL. No clearances issues or other odd characteristics. Seem to fit a Bronco perfectly. BFG All terrains.

If you're mainly around town I would go with a 33X10.5 with an eight inch wheel. You said a 16" rim so you may want to look at a 285X75X16 (33" tall, about 10 1/2" wide). The narrower tire will help with MPG a little bit as well as be easier on your steering parts. BFG AT's or Goodyear Duratracs would be a good choice for around town and would work pretty well offroad when you want to. You can also mount 12.50's on 8" wheels if you ever decide to run wider tires.

Hey...
I mean Hay!
That's Dave's famous teeter totter at DML.
I missed that event.:-[

I just replaced the tires and wheels with 33-1050-15 tires on 8" wheels.
In my experience, the handling and ride are better with a narrower tire.
They also work really well in snow.

So i have narrowed it down to BFG All Terrain KO2, but contemplating between the 315/75 and 305/70's on a 16in Rim.
Anyone have any pics of the 305/70's on there EB to compare?
Any feedback is appreciated.
