    Tire issue

    So I have a question, well more like a concern, I currently am running some BFG all terrains and I got them for the cost of installation. My parents traded in a suburban and didn’t want to lose the tires since they were brand new. Well they are apparently a ten ply tire. My concern is weight. I know many on here have talked about size being an issue for the third member. So since mine are about normal size wise wouldn’t be kind of the same issue because of the weight of my tires?

    I run 265/75/16 BFG's, Load Range D, and they weigh a ton... They run perfectly fine, and they hardly wear at all.

    I like them.

    I agree with D-3...no need to worry.

    My current setup tips the scales at around 100 lb. per (75 lb. tire/25 lb. wheel) & I experienced no issues to, at & from Moab (about 3000 mi.)
    The TOD may get a little weirded out from the extra mass.
