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.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
