Because of the larger tread blocks and less siping. Plus, I don't care for the DB bumps on the sidewall at all.
New BFG All Terrain Design?

Because of the larger tread blocks and less siping. Plus, I don't care for the DB bumps on the sidewall at all.
They are in production now:
They should be in stores in June/July '14. Here are some specs:
20% tougher sidewalls
Twice the treadlife on gravel
10% more mud traction
19% improved traction in snow
Those are on LT265/75R17

Have they removed the rim protector? I like that feature of the current KOs.
I am not too into the sidewall bumps either. I prefer the cleaner look of the original KOs. They have always treated me well and work great on my Tundra. Looks like I'll need to snag 5 original KO's for my CJ-7 to replace an aged pair before they are discontinued. I suppose I should get around to swapping out the blown engine too with the long block sitting in my garage, but tires first. Priorities.
I was hoping for an update on these and found a video at Tacomaworld
There were also two more posted by the same user when I dug in a little. Enjoy!

Claims from the tech link, which is the best of the three I think:
20% tougher sidewalls
Longer treadlife on and off road (15% on road, less chipping off road)
Coregard technology (tougher sidewall rubber from KR2 racing tire)
Stone ejectors inside tread to help prevent stone drilling
Side lugs designed for airing down
Mud-phobic bars to help release compacted mud (not that I think they will be that great in it)
Mtn snowflake symbol still included
"significantly increased snow traction" on par with dedicated winter tires

It sounds like BFGoodrich has done their homework on this one, and they haven't just designed it to look cool on bro's trucks. I'm anxious to see how it compares against the Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac and Cooper Discoverer AT3 & Maxx as the current all-terrain tire benchmarks.
