I noticed the line that each tire was set to equal air pressures. I know that Michelin recommends lower air pressures that Firestone for a given weight (tire book data) so that would mean that the Michelin tires were probably aired up too high. this would contribute to the extra slippage seen.
Firestone tires do have more treadbars on the tires due to closer spacing. This will help on the hard soil types.
