hi Eric,

BFG used to make 27x8.5x14LT the famous all-terrain T/A KO but not any more - now only LT195/75R14

so I switch brand to General Grabber AT2 - 27x8.5R14LT - the tread design i s similar to BFG T/A KO and btw. General is now owned by Continental.

for awhile I was debating to switch to 15" wheel but afraid that the 15" wi ll be taxing the engine because for comparison 215/75R15 is equal to 27.7x8.5R15 and I found 27x8.5x14LT is the perfect size without having to b uy 15" rim (expensive)

google tire size conversion dot com for tire size calculation and to find equivalent
