Which is the better tire, the BFG Rival or the Michelin PS2? Is there a reason the Michelin PS2 is so much more expensive the BFG Rival?

Must be a loaded question

What about the Pilot Super Sport? Why are you only asking about the PS2?

I plan to give the Rivals a try in the spring in the 18's... 315 front 335 rear. Gotta see for myself if they are the real deal.

My falkens are tired and may be going to rivals, 245s on 17 all the way around.

Super Sport 300 Tread Rating
PS2 220 Tread Rating (Stickier)

Comparing a Michelin product to a BFG is not even fair. At least offer up a Pirelli or Continental lol

Are you basing this solely on treadwear rating?

Somebody needs a TW rating explanation

I can stretch a 225 onto my 13" rears.

Tread wear ratings are only relative to the manufacturer and their product line. You can't compare tread wear ratings from one company to the next - that's not how this works.... that's not how any of this works.

Ha. Don't you see the bright side here? By being tardy to the party I get to let others' tires literally fall apart first.
