New Style BFG Mud-Terrains not available?

[nfpgasmask]

So I talked to my guy down at Big-O about a month ago about getting the new style BFG M/Ts. He told me that BFG is not shipping any of the new style tires until the entire stock of the old style M/Ts is depleted (for each size).

I just called Big-O again and they are gonna see if they can get them for me. I also just checked TireRack.com and it seems they only have one size of the new style available, which means that most likely my guy at Big-O was telling the truth.

So it looks like I am stuck with ordering the old style. Which is ok, since I like those too, but....

Big-O just called me back and said they talked to their BFG rep directly, and he said that these tires do not even come in 265/75/R16.....

So I guess I should stop looking!

Looks like he is right...HERE are the sizes currently available

Yup, I don't think Big-O was giving me a line...they have no reason too. Anyway, so, now the real question is, do I go with 265/70/R16s or 265/75/R16s? How much of a difference with the 70 vs 75 make?

Use the tire calculator and it will tell you the size differance. I'm not sure off hand.
