Comparison? There is none.
Granted, part of the difference could be the aluminum wheels the Michelin's are mounted on, but.. thinking back to when the BFG's were newer.. the first thing I noticed was how nicely they tracked going down the road, and even though the LTX's were only at 55psi when I checked this morning, they still handled directional changes with less sidewall roll than the BFG's at 80-85 psi.
Though I didn't tempt fate by trying to take the same path through the side yard, I could feel the michelin's grip my sloped yard better than the bfg's on wet grass/dirt, and they grip better on pavement as well, which has always been something I was very disappointed in the BFG's about.
Yes, they're $75 a piece more, but when they should last a couple of years, it's worth it.. The truck drives alot better now, and the wheels are a nice added bonus.
I'll never go back.
