Hi Steve!
Wow. Just to clarify: was it the TA/Ko or TA/KO2 BFGs that cracked and delaminated? I would never go back to BFG TA/Ko tires; after just 3 years of use, all 4 of mine cracked severely between tread blocks and completely around all 4 sidewalls (I had scrapped them ~7 years ago for set of Micheline LTX AT2). I liked them before they cracked up (used them all over the Chaco area and VOG on the TC rig), so I was hoping to gather lots of TC rig anecdotes IF the KO2s are being used at all on heavier rigs...
I'll have to seriously look at those Toyos. Are you aware of the winter rated stamp being on any of the Toyo line-up ? Unfortunately, this year in Quebec, all heavy-duty trucks are required to have the special snow/ice rating stamped on tires used after mid December, or major fine (I believe that British Columbia has the same winter tire law, too), or i'd have the tires of my choice siped.
Silver,
The tires were TA/KO's that cracked and delaminated. But when Michelin told me they would not warrant the truck damage I was done with BFG. We're up on the mountain today but will check on the stamp when we return.
