I got almost 50k out of the BFGs and I'm at 30k with the Michelins with good tread left. This is on a 2017 Ram that gets driven hard every day.

I got about 30k on them in 5 years and still look good with the Michelin defender ltx. I'll be getting these again and again I've gotten about 60k out of my last set before 1 started loosing air and just replaced them all

Looking at the tread, the picture looks like it was photoshopped.

Always a possibility, but I found this one as well..
who knows though, the tire could have been ran flat and destroyed...

Chicken Pox? I've seen much smaller ones where the tire was pinched against a curb and that happened. Then to prove a point, I had one on the right rear of one of my Buick's and drag raced all night with it. Same tire with multiple plugs. The Lord had mercy on me!

I've run them both on my 2002 Yukon Denali. The Michelin Defenders are (by far) the longest lasting, best MPG, quietest ride, AND best traction for the Yukon, even in mud, and especially in snow. I think its the weight and siping. They're great tires. But the KO2's just look badass cool on an older Yukon so... I run KO2's. LOL.
