Michelin vs Falken
Had a tragic failure on my Nitto DT at 4 yrs old last week (ask Buzz how scary that can be!) so I am pulling all of them off and getting new skins. Thought I made up my mind on Falken Wildpeak H/T pu...

If Michelin made a 295 75 16 LI 128 tire I would probably go with those...but they don’t. Only ones I could find are the BFGs KO2’s and some Coopers. So BFG it is.
I ran the BFG Commercial Traction T/A’s before the Nitto’s. Found they were way too soft for the new (heavier) TC. I could feel them roll over in the corners, thought I would break a bead for sure. Funny thing; they were the best tire I ever ran in snow on this truck (snowflake rated). Guess everyone has a different opinion of performance. Or maybe it’s different snow here in New England.
In any case moving up a load index from 126 to 128 has a lot to do with this decision, being made in USA sealed the deal on BFG’s K02’s.
