Not sure on the others, but Discount Tire said I should be able to get 30k out of my Hankook 245/40R19's if I keep them rotated (these directional tires). Hope that helps some.

I've had both, Hankook is far superior even though the BGF has some extra size offerings. The BFG is very VERY noisy and a little a squirmy at full tread...the Hankook is neither one of those things.

Hankooks are definitely wider than the Falkens but IDK about the BFG's. I rub in the rear with Hankook 245/40/19 on a sedan and didn't with the same size Falkens.

Hankooks have been a solid performer since they came out. Lots of happy customers with those. BFG is great wet/dry, but super noisy.

Pardon my ignorance but, what do you guys mean by running small, true, and large?
