    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.
