I'm probably late to this but, here is my single observation. I'm 67 yrs
old and have owned everything from a BMW Isetta, to XK-140 and E-Type
Jaguars and a 455 Pontiac Bonneville. Anyway, being in Dallas, and going to
retire in the Sierra Nevada, we purchased his-and-hers Jeep Grand Cherokees.
They came with Goodyear tires which wore out at 20K miles and I asked my
Jeep dealer friend what to get. He said Michelin. Since that time I have
driven from Dallas to Sacramento ten times to the Traditional Jazz Jubilee.
We retired and moved to 4000 feet in the Sierra Nevada, and my son joined
the Marines and I drove him through the snow several times, across Echo
Summit (7000 feet) down to the east slope, in Nevada, and then back up to to
the USMC Mountain Warfare Training Center, at about 8000 feet. Anyway, my
Jeep now has 108K miles with 88K on the Michelins and they are about
half-way worn down. And I look at them, and I test their pressure, and I do
not believe what I see. I have never heard of anything like this. And my
wife's twin Jeep (also changed from Goodyear to Michelin at 20K) has only
70K and the tires look almost new. No question in my mind. Also most
surveys do not mean anything because there is no check on the people who do
the input. Anybody can say anything. And I used to do operations research,

Re: BFG AT's on a heavy vehicle and around rocks?
My father-in-law bought Michelins for his short-bed chevy k1500 a few years
back. His odometer's broke, but he estimates almost 100k miles on those
tires (and I believe it). And they're still going strong. Even he has a
hard time believing it.
Of course, those tires wouldn't get you through a muddy puddle, let alone
over rocks.

tires (and I believe it). And they're still going strong. Even he has a
hard time believing it.
Of course, those tires wouldn't get you through a muddy puddle, let alone
over rocks.

Re: BFG AT's on a heavy vehicle and around rocks?
My father-in-law bought Michelins for his short-bed chevy k1500 a few years
back. His odometer's broke, but he estimates almost 100k miles on those
tires (and I believe it). And they're still going strong. Even he has a
hard time believing it.

Re: BFG AT's on a heavy vehicle and around rocks?
Depending on size, they come in C rated and D rated versions. I have them on
my Dodge 2500 (D rated 315's) and really like them. They wear well, are
relatively quiet, and are fairly good off road. However, they suck in the
mud, due to the spacing on the tread (don't clean well).
