| It isn't all that hard to figure why the firestone tire beat the Michelin. The biggest difference between the two brands is the tread design. The 23 degree bar will out-pull the higher angle 45 degree bar that Michelin puts out. It only makes sense that the lower the bar angle the better the bite. If you had tire bars with no angle, like the cleats on a Cat, you would get the most traction but a terrible ride. If the Firestone tire had been an R1w I'd bet money it would out-pull the Michelin as much or more. It's all about the tread design more than anything else. I prefer the R1W with a 23 degree tread. | |
