Same size. They're (according to the manufacturers website) almost identical on the circumference. They're a heavier tire. I'm a stickler for checking mileage, I do it with the calculator at every fill-up. I only get three days out of a tank so I'm particulaly sensitive to the hit. Like I said, you gotta give to get I guess. They're far better in the offroad and snow grip than the stockers but they're worse on the road handling. Again, I have 130 curves to my house and used to drive a Mini S, I'm sensitive to handling.
I'm researching my road warrior tires and wheels. I will be getting them eventually because the BFGs cause me to loose one more thing that's NOT replaceable, and that's time. I'll save money, and time, by having street tires and rims on the H3 when I'm not wheelin'. PLUS I won't be leaving cubic dollars of BFG on every corner!
