Hi all, Im a new member and this is my first post. Great website!
I've had my Explorer running fairly smooth on the stock firestones and then swithced to the bridgestone dueler AT's. Both tires performed fairly well (more flats than I expected) but Im looking to add a more aggressive tread (also need to tow a 4000+lb. boat).
I've looked at BFG, Cooper, and the wrangler MTR, but really like the look of the BFG mud-terrains. They offer the same size tire as my stock 255-70R-16s.
As most of the tire dimensions look very similar, Do I still need to add a lift kit? Also, I drive this truck all of the time. Will the tread noise drive me insane? No pund intended
Any suggestions are most appreciated.
