I'm accepting of the fact i may lose one or two MPG but that's not a big issue when the truck does 26.5mpg on a run to Scotland at around 75mph from Northampton, which for what it is i think is pretty good. Much less economical 4x4's out there.
As for looking cool.....yep sounds good to me. Just an added bonus along with much better grip than road tyres regardless of how wide the A/T's end up.
I was told today there wasn't a huge margin in off-road grip between BFG A/T's and M/T's and there were A/T and M/T users doing the same techy bits of the course with A/T users managing as well as M/T users but they all said the A/T's were definitely a better drive generally on-road and perhaps a tiny bit quieter than M/T's but again not a lot in it.
There were bits of the course that everyone was struggling on, including those 4x4's with a big lift, big chunky M/T tyres and lockers both ends but i think it's down to what the truck and the driver get on with best, and the feedback from users of BFG's has so far been very positive.
275/70/16's sounds like a plan. It's fair to say bigger isn't always better but it does look good.
