The BFG KOs are the new tread design. They have deeper lugs as well as side lugs. Trust me this new designe is much better than the old ones.

 

I put on a set of LT265/75/16 Michelin LTX AT tires from Sam's. These replaced the factory GY APs. Huge difference. You won't be disappointed.

 

I went with Kelly Safari AWR. They have been good in the dry, rain, and snow. Their price was less than almost all others except for some obscure brands. They look good with an excellant tread pattern that actually functions. I'm as picky as anyone when purchasing for myself but put a lot of weight into the price/performance/value factor.

 

I don't know about snow since we don't have any, never. But even though I only have a couple of thousands miles on my new BFG's I purchased two sets of 32x11.5R15LT All Terrains for my first pick up many years ago. They were great and I was completly satisfied.

Now we have the same model with lot of improvements (called the KO) that you can check in their web site. My new ones feel super and I am very happy of their performance wet or dry. And they look great.

I don't have a frontal shot yet but this will do.

Any one have Big O's? Any comments?
I think they are throughout the US?

As soon as I picked up my truck from the dealer, I took it over to Big O to have Big Foot XT's put on. They are more aggressive than the BFG KO.
I drove them on an uphill mountain dirt road
in 12" of snow, then mud, and the tires were clean! No complaints.
