I replaced my rims with Method Mesh around 3k miles. I decided to keep the original bfg's for a little while till I figured out what direction I want to go in. I will tell you since the offset pushed my tires out a bit I have way less dirt being kicked up my sides and I rarely hear stones hitting anymore. Crazy how that 1" made such a difference.

I've been floundering too, but have decided to just use the stock tires with my method mesh wheels for the time being.

When the ford website says SVT tuned BFG ATs , what are they talking about? What is different?



I saw this response in another forum

"The tires are VERY similar & unless you spend all day looking closely at tires you'll not notice any difference. BFG does make a specific All Terrain T/A KO for the Raptor LT315/70R17 121S MSPN#37614 The "other" LT315/70R17 121R is MSPN#54142 & was made originally for the Hummer H2, both are available through BFG dealers. There are a few differences one is a slightly different tread compound, but I don't believe that I would say it's softer, but has different traction properties. There is the different speed rating S=112 mph vs R=106 which requires some additional reinforcement inside.
The easiest thing to say is it was developed along with the Ford engineers for the Raptor, not unlike Fox developed a shock with Ford engineers so that the end platform met their specs."

Other than that I do not know.
