I thought I had this figured out, I had posted this on another forum but wanted some more advice.
Had a choice of BKT or Firestone, roughly the same price ($1200 installed) but the BKT has 8 ply vs. Firestone's 6 ply. Well I told them to order the BKT because I do a lot of tree clearing and cleanup with lots of hardened cedar and various stobs and stuff.
Then later I find out it is possible (nobody seems to know for sure) the BKT is no thicker and no more protection than the Firestone (which I originally wanted due to made in the U.S.) So, anyone actually know for a fact that one is thicker/tougher than the other? Tire size is 16.9 - 30 if that makes a difference.
