You get what you pay for!

BFG's are the best option. I'm probably on my 10th set and love them.

There's also a reason why the BFGs typically score dead last in handling and traction studies. It's to the point where many journalists don't even include them in testing anymore. And that's because they've taken a 70s tread design and put it up against modern computer generated treads. The interlocked pattern can't clean itself. That's terrible for snow and mud, but it's also not good when you hit standing water on the roadway. And off road, I can truthfully say that almost every time I see a rig with a flat on the trail it's a BFG.

Lots of guys buy them and like them. But that doesn't mean they wouldn't love other tires more.

BFG sells them on their name alone. I've run 3 sets of them myself but I wouldn't take another set of KOs if you gave them to me for free. Technology has advanced way beyond what BFG offers today. And it's funny, because their parent company Michelin has a slogan that says "there's so much riding on your tires". Which is exactly why you shouldn't pay the big $$$ for BFGoodrich, lol.

But at the end of the day, every guy spends his own money how he wishes. And that's what makes America great.

I am currently getting 275/65/20 Falken AT3W's installed on my truck as I type this on my phone. Off the rim, it looks like I made a great choice and I will be happy that I didn't try to stuff a 35" in there like I have done in the past. These tires look awesome! I do wish these were made in a 295/60/20 but I like the way these look more aggressive than only a 275 wide tire.

These look fantastic and were exactly what I was hoping for (looks wise). Yes, they are a little narrow but they look very aggressive and fill up the wheel wells just enough. No rubbing, no trimming and I can't tell if any noise at all but my Borla exhaust and CAI could be masking any minimal noise that there is. The truck drives more like a truck now. It's hard to explain but it feels more sturdy. It could be just from the added weight, ~20lbs each over stock. I have only driven about 5 miles so any other factor is too early for me to tell. I think you can tell the extra weight is there but I haven't really tried to find out yet. Overall, LOVE them.

First 2 pics are stock Pirellis.

Do you have a source on any actual studies? A quick google search brings up a whole lot of nothing.

I'm curious since the BFGs have been the best tire I've owned, but I would like to see actual data. I'm due for new tires before the snow starts falling and would be willing to buy differently if there was data to back up your claim.

Always find it funny when people complain about an A/T tires performance in the mud.

lol this is true.

I gotta say though, my P Rated AT2's worked AMAZING in the mud last year hunting. Pulled a trailer right through it all

I've never had an issue with my BFGs in the mud. At the same time I'm not expecting mud terrain performance out of them. I've been some pretty nasty places too.

My last set of tires were Yokohama AT2's, d rated. They have performed exceptionally well for traction, ride, quietness, and mileage.

My vote would be the ko2's too.
While they may only look like they've had a few "tweaks" from the Ko's that is not the case.
Mine have been great in all kinds of snow and other harsh conditions. They're also 3 peak mountain snow flake rated.

I've ran all kinds of different tires throughout my 30+ years of owning trucks and have been very pleased with my ko2's.
I will admit though I've never ran the Falkens
