I remember back in the 90s when their Comp T/S AS was a pretty badass contender in the AS performance grouping.

So everyone and their brother and uncle is going high silica, but I guess one the downsides is flat spotting when parked for more than a day?

Most people I know with the new MTs or ATs seem to be pleased with them. BFG makes a lot of tires, so your post is pretty broad. |

I got some sport comp 2's on my Supra. Not bad for the price and I make Miata's question life through corners (Mk3, scaled at 3800 with me in the car and a full tank).

It was said there was a bad batch out there, and we were all compensated for it. My current truck wears a set of knock off of MTRs, my project has retreads, and my car has firestones. |

Blew a KM2 today coming up I45. Finding a 35x1250x15 just isn't as easy as it once was. I got lucky and found a KO2 for replacing my spare. I guess I'll have to get three more and try running them on the Jeep. That way I'll have my KM2s for playtime.

their off road oriented tires are great. although at times i regret having mud tires on a daily driver, sometimes i think i hear a sound or a vibration and can't tell if somethings wrong, or if it's just road noise/vibrations.

All I know is KMs, alt tread, lasted way longer than any other tire I've ever had. So I got a new set in December, yes they cost out the ass, but if it's another 6 years before another 5 tires, I'm good.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Agreed that the current decrease in sidewall profile is cosmetic, over utilitarian design, but still, size and tire profile aside, it seems the trend is a toward a that is higher silica content in the actual tire compound, and I'm guessing that translates, usually, into a a more grippy, ground hugging, tire.

I'm just concerned that they are using addtives to justify stiffer/harder tire compound which sacrifices sidewall flexibility and leads to less capable tire except for on highway. |

The last set I had on my Toyota were slick in the rain and wore out way before the warranty was up. Then I had to fight with them to honor the warranty. Screw them.

Many tires now days seem to be compounded and have tread and sidewall designs that are aimed at fuel economy over other performance factors.
As for BF Goodrich, their blimp is awesome! |

Had a set of 31 mud terrains. They were ok. Wore uneven in my jeep. Rode bad but were not loud. They are very expensive . I also ate a lag bolt between the treads on one of them and had a nail go through the cleat of another. Will bot be buying again

I put KO2s on my F250. The weight, power, and driving on the rocks has been hard on them, but overall I'm happy 10,000 miles in. Nowadays there are lots of good options in offroad/truck/jeep tires, when 20 years ago they sort of had the market cornered.
When it comes to sports car tires, BFG is still in the mix there, too. The Rival series of tires are fantastic. |

I had two consecutive sets of KOs that were either out of round or just would not balance. I'm leaning towards out of round. Truck would "wagon wheel" at low speeds.
I'll stick to my Michelin A/T2 thanks. Yes, I know it's the same company. |

Put a set of KO2S on my dmax. It's a great truck but bloody murder on tires. So far so good, they seem to be wearing much better than the previous version. Handled what little snow we got well, seem grippy in all conditions.
I was leaning towards Duratracs but got a deal on these, pretty happy with them. |

My step dad had a set of BFG AT's on his 97 Suburban in 03, and proceeded to put 65,000 miles on them in 5 years, and still sold the truck with tread left on them. His set was almost a fluke, as I have never seen one last as long as his.
