Well, the BFG 285's are barely over 8.5" wide at the tread. I have never laid eyes on the 295 Terra Grapplers, but I know that the 265 Terra Grapplers are about the same (maybe a hair wider) than my BFG 285's. I put my hands on some 285 Geolanders (on an Excursion) the other night and they are about 2" wider than my tires. That would make their tread width about 10.5".

I think I would like a tire with about 10" - 11" treadwidth. I don't care how wide the sidewall will pillow out when the pressure is low, just how much rubber is contacting the ground.
