The stock Good-for-a-Year OEM tires are garbage; trash!!!
I originally went with LT285/65R20 BFG KO2's for a summer tire and was generally pleased at the beginning.
However, these particular tires take a lot of weight to balance out, even with a road force balance. They were also not the best in rain either, but I loved the look of this more aggressive tire.
FFWD to the start of this summer and I had enough of the BFG's altogether. I had 2+ seasons on them and they just weren't hitting it for me as I do more highway than off-road. Plus the continual balancing issues with the BFG's soured me a bit, as did their wet/rain road prowess as well.
I went with LT295/65R20 Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires and what an incredible improvement in every aspect of the experience.
The Michelin's are bigger than the BFG's but are about 5lb a tire lighter. The Michelin's took between 0.75 and 2.25 OZ of weight per tire on a road force balancer, so that is a huge improvement in and of itself vs. the BFG's.
Then factor in the Michelin's performance in wet roads and heavy rain conditions is miles above that of the BFG's.... well, easy to say that I am extremely happy with the Michelin's.
Yes, they are a bit more expensive overall for the Michelin's, but if you're looking for a fantastic highway tire with a robust construction, then these could be something for you to consider.
