BFG's are great tires. Everything in my driveway rolls on BFG's.They cost a little more,but then again you usually get what you pay for.and rember most of the lower price tires that look like a BFG are only 2 ply sidewalls, where a bfg is 3.
Im on my 2nd set of bfg a/t's on my superduty. first set had about 40,000 when I took them off,and still had about %25 left on them.Have about 15,000 on this set, and they look like new still.
very good tires in my opion for multi use truck...they ride nice, quiet, great grip on wet roads,do good in sand when aired down...
And for the wheel bearing, they do make a kit to get away from the sealed bearing units, cant rember who makes it, but its some bank, think was $1200.
Yeah I looked into that kit, for a mere $1800 bucks I can convert them over to 'regular' bearings, I also have to change out the outer shafts, and lose my still functional "auto" lock hubs.
No thanks.
Come to find out the bearings were fine. The shop could not pinpoint the noise and since they had the whole front axle apart changing the seals they checked everything and said it was all fine. So I am going to continue to drive it.
So far I LOVE the BFG's. When I pulled into the lot to pick it up the truck looked new. It gives it a whole new attitude. Now it is fun to drive again.
The first night home I took it down to our campsite and hooked it up to our trailer, even with close to 1,000lbs in tongue weight the sidewalls in the rear held up and looked just like the ones in the front, oh and after 3 days of rain I didn't spin a tire in 2WD.
Bring on the obsticles.
