Not to argue with my buddy Jeff
but I get much better traction with number 2 on hill sides when wet, which is what I have all around here (hillsides). The #1 Goodyear style spins like crazy on uneven hills when there's much moisture. The Firestone Town and Country style tread in number 2 gets better hillside traction in my experience overall. If you're on flat ground, honestly its just whatever you like as far as looks in my opinion. If you're comparing these two specific sets you have though, make note that the town and countries split open when that dry-rotted a lot easier than the goodyears by tread design from what I've seen.
