I'm trying to decide which tire (size 245/70/16) to go with on my daily driver (no off-roading). The only 2 things making me lean towards the revo's are the "T" speed rating against the BFG's "S" rating and the load ratings. I assume the revo's would be a smoother ride. MPG's would also be a factor. Any suggestions?

Your jeep won't go 120mph. speed rating S is plenty Hell, your jeep won't go 112mph speed rating R is plenty.  the limiter is set at 110mph

Makes sense guys. Howbout the load rating? Does it really make your ride much harsher? |

My experience with the REVO is that you won't get 25k outta it. The BFG is a much longer lasting tire. |

I assume the BFG is also a more durable tire as well compared to the Revo? I think the Revo's are much lighter too. Wouldn't that be a factor in MPG's? |

Yes, IMHO, load rating effects ride. The extra unsprung weight of heavy-arsed tires also effects on-road mileage & performance. If you do not need an LT tire, get a P-series. It comes down to being honest with your intended usage. |

True. It wouldn't make sense to get the BFG since I do no off roading. All that extra weight would put more stress on my tranny. |
