I am considering getting rid of these stock Michelin A/Ts and getting some BFGs. Anyone else do this?

If so, did you have luck selling your new Michelin tires? These only have 1k miles on them.

 

I've sold plenty of take off Michelin AT's from the F350s over the years...good market for them here, usually fetching between $800-1,000 CAD for near new sets. Not bad IMO.

 

Yep just sold my stock 20's that had about 300 miles on them for 900.00 Looks like they sell for around 300 a tire new.

 

Meh, I'm going to at least burn them off in 40,000. Yeah, they do suck. Anyone complaining about SD's in snow, It's the Michelin's fault. Getting a set of 285/75r17 Cooper ST Maxx or ST Pro. Those are the kings of snow and slop in Ohio.

 

I sold mine back to dealer for 2000.00 that was the 20'' clad wheels with the Michelins and tire sensors

 

I had the 20's with the Michelin's, Put a set of BF KO2 on the factory rims, for the winter, I have had several feet of snow here lately, K02 are awesome in the snow.. Gonna buy a set of aftermarket rims and load the Michelin's back on for the summer, two sets of tires should get me through many years. I like the ride quality of the stock Michelin's and figured ya don't get much for a used set of tires these days.

 

Glad its not just me. These stock A/T's are horrible in the snow. Had KO2's on my '05 F-150 and very rarely needed 4WD and never put any weight in the bed. I've made 3 trips to Lowes for sand bags for the SD. Have almost 500 lbs of weight in the bed and it helped, but still not great. I hate to drop the $$ on new tires for brand new truck. My whole justification for a new truck was not having to put money into a vehicle. I've got almost 10K on the OEM tires, so not sure what I could get out them, but starting to really want to see them go away.

 

My Michelin’s sit in my garage and had very little use.

 

I trade my tires in to the tire dealer, if not they go on Craigslist.

I only run new tires down half way then sell them for half of what I paid new, I always have good tires that way and doesn't cost me any more money.

 

I've bought a lot of take off's from my dealer over the years.
20" Tires & wheels go for $1000
18" Tires & wheels go for $800

I told the dealer I didn't want the wheels, just the tires. He said Same Price with or with out wheels. So I put the tires on my truck and sold the 20" wheels online for $400

 

I agree that these Michelins are lousy in the snow. However, they perform very well when keeping it between the lines on the interstate at 90. For those of you who have switched to the KO2's, how is the road noise and ride compared to the stock Michelins? I'm considering the KO2's in a 285/65 R20.

 

I sold mine to the tire shop when I bought my Toyo's. They had 200 miles and I got $500 for them.

 

I ordered AT's on my yet to arrive F250. Sure hope that it doesn't come with Michelin crap. It's not really even an AT tire! And they are horrible winter tires.

 

I have always loved my BFG KO's. BUT....while I will admit these Michelins leave something to be desired in the snow, they perform great everywhere else. I have grown to like the smooth and quiet ride. I figure (at least for now) that if I need more snow traction I will just turn the **** and go 4x4. 4x4 has performed fine so far this Michigan winter. Who knows what I will do when the time comes to replace. Hopefully that will be a few years down the road. I'm sure there is a great market for your used ones on here. They are expensive tires new!

 

The 20" Ko2 tires i put on my truck are very quiet, never evan notice them on the highway, Hard to spin them up in the snow, very impressive ! I spend a lot of time up north in the snow so these were a no brainier. I'll take your Crappy Michilen's and run them all three seasons, Just drop them off at the Canadian border for me !
