Lots of folks here that are for the BFG AT KOs -- well I had two sets delaminate (tread separating from carcass). I've run and loved the BFG ATs for years, but something has changed, maybe it's the French ownership, funny if the same thing happens to the Dodge boys... (now owned by FIAT of Italy)
I went with a USA tire: Cooper -- yeah, yeah, USA this and that... Well these tires are ROUND at their rated pressure and when my rig is fully loaded (BFGs could never do that). I've got Goodyear MTRs on the Jeep, not a huge Goodyear fan (for other reasons), but they are the only other USA tire company...
I'll be interested to see how the Coopers work longer term...
Just my $.02
And I ain't even close to an Anthony

Plenty of variables as to why a tire does not last longer for one person to the other. Not sure what happened in your situation but so far BFG is my choice.

I read the thread that was referred to earlier and learned something about tire pressure and how it affects wear. I guess I have always over inflated the tires, as far as wear goes, because Ive run mine at 80psi when towing and Ive noticed what anthony said in that earlier thread, they seem to wear pretty quickly. Think I may lower the pressure a bit

I've had Coopers on an F150 and Toyo open country are on the F250. Both lasted/lasting well, but the Toyo is so much better in the snow.
Running at 75psi the Toyos seem to be wearing evenly so I'm happy

Oh and to the others commenting about the USA thing: Michelin has more tire plants in the USA than anyone, but they are a French company -- that was my point: Cooper and Goodyear are the last US companies AFAIK. Hell, my Coopers may have been made in Korea
All I know is they look stout when fully loaded and at max pressure compared to the failed BFGs they replaced... To each his own, and I've been honest -- I don't have much time/miles on these yet...
Now maybe we can switch subjects to what OIL does Anthony run

I posted this in another tire thread here: but mine were the ATs, while my friend was running the BFG RTs -- his truck is currently in the body shop getting its bed and side repaired (for the second time) after the second RT catastrophically failed. He switched to Coopers as well, so we will both see...
