For those of you looking for stock size, they've been released, they just have not started shipping to dealers yet. I placed my order today through Tread Depot at 1150 shipped. Should be here in a week since they're shipping straight from BFG. 315/70/17 with black sidewall.

Wait, is the 315 size the same as the 35"? [emoji12][emoji12][emoji12]. *****

Nope two different sizes and load speed rating are different.

For some of you. (you know who you are)

35x12.50R17: <-- This tire has raised white letters.
Load rating = E
Speed rating = R (up to 106mph)
Diameter (in) = 34.5
Weight (lbs) = 66.5

LT315/70R17: <-- This tire has raised black letters.
Load rating = E
Speed rating = S (up to 112mph)
Diameter (in) = 34.4
Weight (lbs) = 62.4

Both size tires have 2-ply sidewalls and 3-ply treads.

Weight difference is interesting.

I see the load rating is the same but still, the speed rating and even though it's .1 difference in overall dia., it's different.

The 4.1 pounds is what allows this tire to have a higher speed rating.

I also still don't see Ford and GM for the 315/70 17, not like BFG had it listed a year ago with the KO on the website.
Or even if there is going to be a Raptor specific Tire.

There's an additional difference that I added to my post.

The 35x12.50R17 has raised white letters on one side.

The LT315/70R17 has raised black letters all around.

This may be important for some folks.

can't you just install the 35s with the black letter outside? or is there an actual inside/outside on these tires?

 

[beemerman]

You can install either way. Mine are turned in and painted black
