I use to run BFG AT and later the K02s on my trucks they worked well, but wore out rather quickly, I figured the weight needed to balance them was due to how large the tires were 315/70/17”(35x12.5x17”) same size as Ford Raptors and GMC H2’s come factory with.
When my new truck needed tires, I decided to switch tires and see if I could get some more tread life.
I can’t believe how much better TOYO Open Country AT3s are in both tread life and quality when it come to tire balance.
I am running 295/60/20 (34.5x11.5 x20”) on the new truck and they are 10 ply and it is only a half ton truck this time but I have put 40,000miles on these tires and they are still measuring at 80-85% tread. BFGs would be under 40% at this point.
They took a lot least weight to balance and have been great in all conditions including winter ice and snow.

On my wife’s car I have Michelin Pilot Sport 3+ and they are also a very very good tire, they are perfect for the car and lasting much longer than the Pirelli run flats they replaced. But that is not much of an accomplishment since those runflats last about 15,000miles. After the car went through 2 sets in first 30,000miles of ownership, I had to find something else or risk financial rune.
