They look really good on that Ford in your photo... good to hear that they did well in dirt. My main motivation (like you) is snow performance both on road and in deep snow.... (See pics below)I’ve not heard about their snow performance yet, but I went wheeling with a guy that had them on his super duty and they seemed to do well. They looked great too!
If I hear they are good in the snow I will consider them for my next pair of tires
I haven't seen a new BFG out and a quick search came back with old KO2s... you mind sharing a link?!Curious to know what your thoughts are for the mickeys if you go with those. I've got the Falken AT3Ws and have been pretty happy with their snow performance, but I lack a winch so I've not yet taken it anywhere in deep "off road" snow, just because I don't trust that I've got enough equipment to clear myself out.
I'm pretty interested in the new BFG KO2s that just came out. A 39" (prob nets around 38" as BFG always rates high) with a 3 peak rated tire and only 78 lbs.
Here's why I'm looking at tires. I left the main road near the cabin here:
Snow was around 24" and a little icy below. My half worn BFGs really struggled to get me turned (before a lake at the bottom of the hill) and up the side road. I ended up struggling for about 10 minutes and my dad had to ride in the back and spot me (to avoid trees) by the end of it. Don't get me wrong, it was kind of fun. But, it really should have been easier.
You can see all the back and forth in the snow here:
Finally made it out this way... but getting up this little hill even took 3 or 4 tries... all the tracks are from my struggle.
I took more air out of the tires and am now running 37psi in the rear and 41psi in front. Even with lower pressure, I don't trust the tread depth on my current BFGs... kind of want to start looking for the next tire.
