I was really hoping BFG would release a 305/70R17. Oh well...

Cool, should be able to go up to 33" tires w/o wheel spacers on the stockers.

255/80/17 is nice but if I read their table correctly, LRE means Load Range E. Too bad it's not a D.

Can you explain this to me? I was under the impression E was better than D , meaning stronger!

I need to do more research on LRE before buying them. They are heavier/stronger sidewalled, but I need to see if thats practical for off-road use, especially when aired down.

load range E means a stiffer ride more bounce and possibly less traction when aired down.
