I too must replace soon.
I have always loved my BFG AT KOs. And ran the BFG AT Rugged Trails that came on my new 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 until they wore out. Then bought (what was available in Fairbanks) a set of studable BFG Commercial ATs for our Jeep Cherokee. LOVED ALL OF THESE except the Rugged Trails sucked in the snow. They were a much milder tread that the KOs.
Began researching replacement tires about a year ago and discovered MANY online complaints about sidewall rubber deterioration and it simply falling apart! All based on a new rubber compound used by BFG. It scared me. My neighbor gave me a used set of his NEWER Rugged Trails that he had sitting in his garage and they are on now to finish out their wear. I am seeing that sidewall deterioration others have talked about!
I have been leaning toward the Michelins, but someone here said they are using a faulty rubber compound? I was leaning toward a milder AT due to travel trailer towing but now looking at a truck camper and more offroad use so will probably get the KO ATs again and hope they don't fall apart. :/
