Not really diggin' it. I like the look of a clean sidewall, is there any advantage to sidewalls with designs on the side? I don't wheel enough to worry about sidewalls busting, but I think that the places I drive warrant an A/T tire.

I don't thrive on overly busy upper sidewalls myself, but it seems to be the trendy thing, especially to make street queens look tough.

I agree , I just hope they do what they did with the Km's and keep the old one around when the new one hits the market.

Most recognized tread pattern in the world.......

Yeah, its old.......shit they didn't even keep up on compounds like the rest of the world did for a long time.

I can spot an older vw beetle a mile away and even little kids know/love them. Its a uniquely old design, but I'm not gunna drive one across death valley just because they are so easily recognized.

Lmao..... Chris, didn't we discuss the dinosaur nature of the bfg a/t just recently?
And u didn't give me a heads up

The "designs" on the sidewalls gives traction on rocks, and can give more traction in softer terrain, like sand, or mud.

Ahh, that would sense.

I'd buy them depending on price, my experience is BFG prices themselves out of the market.

But back when I used to run them, never had a problem with them in conditions they were designed for. Snow/icy conditions, logging trails, remote places where 4x4 was required.

Only time they let me down was heavy thick mud, and I was the dummy for even trying.

plus added armor against sidewall splits, cuts and slashes.

I have to disagree for the type of off-roading I do which is a Federal Park called PINS, a 60 mile stretch of undeveloped non manicured 4x4 only beach with a lot of washed up debris and even fish spines that can go through a sidewall. I currently have Duratracs and have had to plug many more punctures than I did with the BFG's, might be luck but I doubt it. BFG's lasted 100k miles, but they were E rated. I will get about half that from the softer and weaker Duratracs. For me the BFG's also floated better when aired down when the sand is sugar soft. In the wet they are about the same, but at about 70k miles the BFG's got real hard and weren't as good in the wet, when taking of from a stop, specially when tires are cold in my non lsd taco. I don't do rock crawling, mud or snow(where I hear Duras shine), so for my type of specific off-roading where I need a tough tire for the beach, the BFG is the winner and the new design looks improved.

My problem running the old KO's on one of my old trucks was the legendary longevity of the tire worked against it. After a couple of years the tire really seemed to stiffen up and then was just utter crap in snow and ice. I got to the point that I just run KM2's on my 4Runner now because I find they aren't that much worse for me, and then I don't have to get a tow out of the muck that I inevitably find myself in.

I would love to see the Nittos with same abuse, as I have owned both myself. I will go back to BFG after nitto especially with the added sipes for wet conditions, as that was the biggest complaint. I will also admit my off roading is moderate at best.

It is nice to have choices!

I know... it's just funny because I always see these aggressive sidewalls on shiny, flawless mall crawlers

Well sum bitch, would-ya look at that, A sidewall that serves a purpose on an AT. I actually like them. These should be a big seller with the street queens too, good tread wear, good street manners and sidewalls that give the look that so many mall crawlers want without having to run a mud tire

If someone would make this tire size, they would make a lot of us happy.

I like the new look.

Thanks,

They should be coming shortly because these are one of our two releases this year for Michelin and we already are producing the other release Michelin Premier tire.
