After lifting my truck I bought a set of 285 70 17 BFG All Terrains for it. I loved the look but it became obvious that the tires were too big and heavy for for the 4 banger to handle. My buddy bought a new Hemi Dodge and after a few beers one night we decided to switch tires and he threw me some cash. I currently have the OE tires from his truck on mine and driveability is excellent. Problem is I want the traction and look of the BFG's again. This time I will go a little more conservative on size hoping not to overpower the truck.
My question is does anyone have LT265 70 17 BFG All Terrain TA KO's on their 05 and up 4 banger with no performance mods? What are the pros and cons of this tire on the 4 cylinder Frontier? I'm trying to find out if I will have the same issues with the 265's that I had with the 285's. Main problem was the truck would run out of steam on long hills at highway speed. The new set will be an inch smaller and 13 lbs lighter per tire and I hope that will be enough to avoid that problem.
Thanks
