I always find tire threads interesting, and curious? almost as much fun as oil threads... I have put over 100k miles on BFG K02's c-rated. Luv them! Best looking tire out there, amazing durability and have the confidence you need off road for my needs. Run them year round in Colorado. Never have had any wet traction issues? To each their own guess. Frequent balancing/rotation is required however...I do mine every 5k religiously!
Fwiw, I would look into that new Goodyear ultra terrain AT, Discount tire exclusive, Would love to hear feedback on this tire from any 5th gen drivers. I guess it is a 10 ply E-load rated tire.
