falken wildpeak at3w - snow flake rated all terrain that seems commonly compared against the bf ko2 or Goodyear duratrac, both of which I've used but now prefer the falkens

How is the ride of the Falken compared to the bfgs?  I've been eueing those for when I replace my KO2s.  They are tough tires but seems kind rough to me. Even at 40 psi.

I think you'll feel any e-rated tire but I'm happy with the ride, they are not worse, maybe slightly better than the others. I found the ko2 turned into hockey pucks for the last half of life.

I won't put a Michelin tire on anything I own.

I don't hear that too often. What happened?

I have Nitto Ridge Grapplers. They are LOUD. Between 30-35 mph they are the loudest and there is some noise on the highway but its not terrible. Performance however, is top notch for A/T tires. Great offroad and great traction even in rain.

Multiple tire failures... Pick up a nail while driving, immediately pull over (obviously), tire destroyed internally and cannot be repaired. All my other tires can at least make it to the shoulder before becoming unusable. This happened a few times on Michelin tires. Not particularly Michelin's fault but I only had this issue with that brand tires.

 

Nail in the coffin was driving down the road and had a blow out, no road debris and critically the tire was at the proper pressure (I monitor tire pressure manually and via the tire pressure monitors), immediately pull over and the tire is destroyed. Michelin's response was it was a result of driving with no air which was blatantly false. They wouldn't warranty the tire, so I won't use them.

 

I've had excellent results with BFG tires (longevity, traction, durability, NVH...) so that's what I use. Every time I use something else like Pirelli, Bridgestone, Goodyear, Continental - I regret it. Tires are too expensive to 'try' something else, I'll stick with what works for me.
