I think alot of this depends on the thickness of the sidewall plys. Would you rather have three thin plys or two thick plys?
I'm not sure about the thickness of either, but folks seem to get hungup on sales pitches. I sure did.
Let me rephrase that: do you prefer well-known, proven BFG AT KO with proven & durable 3-ply sidewall OR do you prefer a small company, unproven General 2-ply sidewall???
Sorry, i go with what is proven...and the fact that it's BFG 3-ply not just Bob's 3-ply makes the icing on the cake IMHO.
Hey Thai, not to be the as$
[email protected] but did you read the article I put in the first post at all??
This came from FOUR WHEELER magazine, not just some sales pitch I heard.
NOTE: "Brand X" is BF Goodrich. And I quote:
"True "Brand X" is a name Americans have come to know and trust, but looking past that, we relized that General tire which is actiually owned by Continental, is the primary shareholder of European tire market. This doesn't mean squat until you understand that the average European consumer is influenced more by performance than price. Maybe thats why the finest sports cars cost so much, yetlack simple conveniences like cupholders. It's safe to say that General tire developed the new Grabber AT2 with the enthusiast in mind. True "Brand X" does spend a ton on marketing its off pavement prowess, but how much of the price of yorutires do you want going to marketing campaigns?"
And as for ply, 3ply vs. 2 ply, take a look at procomp Xterrain tire: 2ply, AWSOME off road tire for traction and punture resist. not much for durablility, but that not why you look at the ply count.
