    I'm debating between Michelin LTX M/S 2 vs. BF Goodrich A/T KO 2. I'm done some internet browsing, I'm little concerned about the Michelin's on snow. I would love some feedback from you all. Thank you.

    depends on your needs, Highway or off-road?


    In my opinion...
    Highway - Michelin (better milage with these as well)
    Off-road or just aggressive looks - BFG's

    Those are two pretty different tires, M/S 2 are highway tires that are highly rated and the BFG's are on the high end of aggressive for an AT tire. Ripper pretty much has it short and sweet on which way to go.

    BFG lose mpg, worse road handling, more noise but better in rougher snow and off road.
    M/S same or better than stock mpg, nice quiet ride and better dry handling. Not great off road and in the rougher snow spots but probably better on packed snow or ice than the BFG.

    What are you wanting your tires to do?

    While I don't have an overwhelming amount of experience driving in the snow, I was not impressed by my BFG ATs in the snow. And I have heard others say the same thing.

    I would go with the BF Goodrich.The BF Goodrich Rugged Terrains(not the rugged fails)have been very good to me when times of being in the snow.Michilen from other people i know opinions have been disappointed.
