Tires BFGoodrich or Firestone

Firestone Tires

I got some Firestone Destination XTs about 1k miles ago in the stock size. I wanted LT tires for the stability towing. So far they are working great. Way better off road and wet traction then the stock Pirelli Scorpions. But they hang on to gravel bad.

Pros: better off road, wet traction
Cons: hang on to gravel
Mileage: 1609 km

I'd recommend Firestone Firehawk Indy 500. They're really good and affordable tires that have excellent grip. They don't have much road noise and last decently long.

Pros: excellent grip, affordable
Cons: summer tires
Vehicle: Lexus IS

I got BFG Comp 5's (?) on my 350 RWD '07. They're great, my traction control is always off too and I don't think I've ever broken traction unintentionally.

Pros: great traction, very affordable
Vehicle: Lexus IS

I have run the Indy 500s on two Minis, Audi A8 with a 630HP tuned motor, Volvo V90 and Mercedes E550 with a Renntech tune. EXCELLENT tires for the money, Tirerack has great prices!

Pros: excellent tires for money
Vehicle: Audi A8

Only have experience with the KO2s. They’re overpriced and get quite loud as they wear and sometimes have balancing issues, especially as they wear down. But I’ll be damned they last forever.

Pros: last forever
Cons: overpriced, balancing issues

I worked in tire shops for many years and installed many sets of BFG all terrain K02. I used to cringe when I saw these tires on the work order. They are very heavy tires to handle and that weight doesn't help with mounting and balancing. Every time I installed a set of these, there would always be 1 or 2 tires that would ask for an obscene amount of weight when trying to balance. Sometimes as much as 10 ounces on a perfect rim. We would try to promatch them but sometimes they would still want 5-6 ounces. Sometimes we would peel the tire off and try another one from stock if we had more. If we had no other stock, we would slap the weight to it and hope the customer didn't come back with a vibration. Also, everyone I've ever talked to who had these said they turn hard as a rock when they are cold and are terrible on ice.

Cons: difficult to balance, heavy, poor cold performance, terrible on ice
