    No problem with balancing my KM2s, they run very smooth, but I did buy them a few years ago. Maybe they're not as good now.

    As said a lot of tyre guys say the BFG are hard to balance.

    If they are done correctly there should be no problems.

    After three sets of the A/T's i have never had a vibration problem at any speed.

    Agree with part 1 completely - it is a problem 😜

    As for part 2...

    They share a common owner.
    The compounding is different, the greens are made in same facility.
    But the moulding, curing are different and produce a much stronger and premium grade tyre.

    They also mould about 10 other 'brands'...

    Coopers has 60 facilities and Make: Avon
    Mastercraft
    Star fire
    Mickey Thompson
    Dean
    Dick Cepek
    Road master
    Chengshan
    Austone
    Fortune


    Michelin own BFG and make in Ohio and Mexico
