My brother has them on his Cummins with a rear locker. My open diff front and rear pathfinder with Firestone winter force snow tires would literally drive circles around him in the snow. After my tree incident this year, I'm putting dedicated snows on the 16's next winter and getting all terrains for summer for the spare set of 17's I have.

Yeah, that's like comparing my 5.4 to a 6.0, yes the motors can both tow well but between the 2 there is no comparison. Damn those tires are still looking good

They are always quiet when new... Get back to me when they have 10k on them. Try to rotate them every oil change. All terrains or mud terrains are bad about irregular wear, even on a well aligned trucked with tight bearings and joints. It seems to me the more hard corners the worse it gets.

With that I wanted to bring up an FYI on the previous version of the BFG AT (not sure what the Cummins truck has). One thing to watch out for on the KO (old version) is that they sell two compound blend versions. One is rated for snow and winter while the other is not. So should you plan to use the AT KO in snow, make sure you pay attention to the rating of the specific set you use.
The KO2 are only offered in snow rated blends which has been developed as an improvement of the KO. In my experience, they succeeded in creating a very decent snow capable tire.
Again, you cannot beat a dedicated snow tire. But those tires should not be used in temps above 45-55F depending on brand. (Too soft).

GREAT WORK BFG!
Mad props to BFG on the All Terrain KO2 tire!
With all the flooding and wet roads in Houston recently, I've had to take The Monster out and brave the storms, rain, and wet roads.
Not once on all the wet highways, side streets, and water I had to drive through did these tires loose grip or hydroplane! They clawed right through everything and didn't blink an eye!
Yet another reason why I love these tires and have them on BOTH my trucks!

Not necessarily a step down so much as the previous generation. KO2 is the new hotness remodel.
