I've been running Falken Rocky Mountains down here in SE Texas. No complaints so far. Look beefy, pretty quiet on the hwy & decent grip at the boat ramps. Not too many miles on them, time will tell.

FYI I'm a self proclaimed tire snob...big time.

Went from Michelin AT2s on my F250 to BFG TKOs. Very similar in traction, noise and comfort believe it or not. Or put it this way, the fresh BFGs were equal in ride quality compared to the worn AT2s coming off. The BFGs have 30k and are holding well.

With that said, there are fewer better driving experiences than doing 80 mph down an interstate on a fresh set of Michelin MS2s for a road trip....period. That's what our Expy has and they still ride excellent after four years of wear.

The new BFG KO2s have my attention, but I'll probably go MS2 on my next set for the F250. They are quiet and honestly, there's not anywhere I can go on my BFGs that my dad can't in his F150 with MS2s. In fact, MS2s on a 4x4 are quite capable considering their tread design. My opinion, all terrains like the BFG or Michelin AT2 have little advantage over highway tires...therefore purchase comfort over style if that's your choices. I think true all terrain performance begins with the Cooper ST Maxx or Goodyear Duratrac styles.
