I know I am gonna get beat up on this but here is my situation.
I have a '14 Scab with 12K miles, 275/55/20 Scorpion ATR's. Last year in the snow they were horrible and I got stuck many times while my buddy with the identical truck and worn down Goodyear AT's (not Duratracs) had no issues. I even drove his truck and couldn't believe the difference. I decided before this winter I'm getting new tires.
I do not tow a lot or put a ton of miles on my truck (not my daily driver). The tires will probably dry rot from heat before I wear them out by mileage.
NOW: Size 275/60/20
Falken Wild Peak ATW3's for $692 installed
OR
BF Goodrich KO2's for $1,075 installed
Both prices are great prices for my area.
What would you do based on how I use my truck?

Falken...save 300 bucks

I'm a big fan of Toyo AT2's, but they do hum a bit more than any other AT I've used

I cant get the Toyo's for less than the KO's and between the 2 I would take the KO's over the Toyo's any day.

I do like the look of the BFG way more.

I used a P Rated Toyo AT2 on my 99 F150. Granted I paid $800 OTD because my friend manages a Les Schwab lol

But they rocked in the snow/mud

I have the wild peak at3w. Smooth tire, just a touch louder than the ms2's I had on. Waiting a few more weeks for the snow to start falling. They're great in mud and gravel

If you are willing to pay for the BFG, go with the BFG.

If not, you will still be happy with the Falken and an extra $300 in your pocket.

Are the BFG's the D rated LT's. If so that's what I would choose.

So, a design that's been around since the 1970s with a couple of tweaks along the way, known to be terrible in snow and mud, with sizes that run small, not as rugged as they claim to be, for over $1,000. Or, a brand new clean sheet design rated for severe snow use, known to be excellent in the rain, tougher than a box of nails, still a great looking tire that actually has the ability to clean itself of mud and work good off road for $692.

To me the choice was simple. And I have been driving on them all year and still love them.

There's a reason the BFG AT's design has been around since the 70's....because it actually works. Sure, there are horror stories on every tire...but with as many BFG's that are sold, there are bound to be a few more (because they sell more) I've had BFG AT's on old trucks, and have them on my wheeler now....never had an issue with them...they lasted a long time and performed very well in snow (I live in UT with a good amount of annual snowfall)

I have nothing against the Falken's....I had a set on a truck (not the new design, but an older one) and had no complaints about them....but I think the hate for BFG is wildly unjustified.
