Michele's are not overly good traction tire harder compound and wear like iron. BFG AT s are just the opposite very soft and one of the best traction tires I have. Bad thing is they tend to wear really fast and start to make a lot of noise pretty quick. Have seen them get out of round to the point they would throw off the wheel weights. This was only on the larger 35 s. 33 haven't had that much problem with..
