The problem I have with Michelin is that they suck in most conditions off-road. And can share one story where I was running them pulled off to read a map, yes, I am that old, and the tires would not move my truck even in 4 wheel drive. This was in the winter, and it was cold as hell while winching the truck back onto the road. I said to myself that day I will never run pure street tires on my truck again.

My 2024 AT4HD came with OEM BFG KO3's, probably a little different than the ones from a tire shop. I like them for mid-April to mid-October. I run a studded snow tire on GM wheels for the other 6 months. I just swapped them over today. 

 

I'd replace the KO3's with another set when the time comes.

The new Michelin LTX MS2's if you can get them are some of the best on the market now for a on road and light off road. My work sells those like nobodies business in the winter time here, by far the best selling tire here.

 

Of the ones you posted I'd go Falkens. Or look into the Toyo Open Country AT3's if they have your size, great tire. Have them on my parents Silverado.

I've heard a few shops mention that BFGs are good on traction and wear, but are a ****** to balance, and you must constantly rebalance them over their lifetime.

Every tire I've tried other than BFG All-Terrain has been a let down at best and disaster at worst. 

 

Actually, every tire other than BFG has been that way.

 

I know they (BFG) are owned by Michelin - but every Michelin tire I've had has been a disaster of one form or other. I won't buy them and tell everyone I know the same.

Personally I wouldn't run that tire - I only run snowflake rated tires, even if I might still run dedicated snow tires part of the winter.  KO3's are at least snowflake rated - they may not be fantastic in the snow, but they are decent for at least the first half of treadwear.  The OEM versions ride quite nicely IMHO.  I had a set of KO2's on a Colorado and had no issues with them other than getting a bit loud as they wear past halfway.  I also had the cooper 4S and won't run that tire again - not nearly good enough in the snow, and not very good at all offroad.

OK thanks - good to know - the website didn't make that very clear.

      Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles.

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
