Previous tire was BFG A/T, not the KO2.
I am about done with my first set on a 3/4 ton Ram. Will not do it again.ttha_aggie_09 said:
Sounds like a typical Goodyear experience... they're not very good tires because of their ride quality, in my opinion.
IMO yes. I have used them on most of my cars - especially after getting 70K plus on my old F150. F250 - they are not technically rated and to be honest I do not have an accurate mileage since I get the majority of them replaced by discount tire for road hazard warranty (nails, etc).agcrock2005 said:Great advice. The reason I didn't have all terrains on my 150 is I don't really like the look of them on 150's and 98% of the time I'm driving on the highway. I do like the way they look on the bigger fords and I've almost gotten stuck a few times at my deer lease so that's why I'm looking to get these. So Michelins are better for highway and also provide some traction for the off road when needed?Quote:
I would focus on your dominant use first (e.g. highway) and get a good secondary use tire - for me that was the Michelins

Many F250's come with 35" tires

Ranch use - long time michelin fanboy here. Even in agricultural use, a primary mode of transport will be on roads from place to place. Also, a tire's ability to clean out effectively is often more important than how aggressive the tread blocks look. That said, I don't live in east Texas, but I drive through a fair amount of wet riverbottoms/sloughs on a regular basis. I had a set of BFG's on a used truck that I didn't care for, and replaced with LTX-AT2's. They are superior in all respects IMO.
Michelin's rubber compounds are superior to all others for longevity. Add on top of that their superior understanding of heat management and dissipation, and you've got a tire that likely won't be replaced for a long, long time.

BFGs are junk!
Go with Yokohama's
Yoko Ono's are junk. Go with the BFGs.

I wasn't insinuating it was the wheels. More than likely the people trying to balance them and/or the tires. I've balanced just about everything and size you can imagine, so am pretty familiar with the process.
Awesome. Thank you.ttha_aggie_09 said:
Yes, post the size and model on here and classifieds. A lot of people stick with OEM tires and you can probably get about 50-60% of the value for them, maybe more.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Separate yet related question...is there a market for the stock Michelin tires that will have about 1,000 miles on them by time I put new ones on? Would rather not store them.
