Lets just rewind a bit. The whole reason you jumped all over my case was that I mentioned the BFG was a more rugged tire than the Falken. That has nothing to do with traction. And no I did not say the BFGs chunck. I only agreed with you that the Falkens do not and that is because the outer lugs, and the center lug strip is not grooved all the way through.
Working alongside the guys who ran those Falkens and seeing them slash sidewalls and puncture tread quite often I can only point out that they are just not as rugged as the BFG AT that I am on my forth set of and still to this day get 35-40k out of a set and have never had one fail while hauling 1500lbs loads down skidder paths climbing over rocks, stumps, and tree limbs.
So as was said in my first post, the BFG AT is a more rugged tire with good traction. The Falkens get better traction, but are not as rugged as the BFG AT.
Im also not a die hard BFG fan, They are just the most dependable AT tire I can run on a 15" wheel now that I cant get the Yokohama Geolandar AT II tires anymore. Those Geolandar AT IIs held their own and would get 55-60k. Now they changed the tread pattern and the new ones dont perform.
