For what it's worth, the BFG KO2 haven't been white letters since the last version of them, prolly 7+ years ago. They have been the absolutely best AT for wet roads and snow, they are smoother, quieter and wear well. They are light weight as well.
Good stuff, I do like the tire, they do still make them with white lettering but it’s probably an option or on one side 👍🏾
BFG KO2 in the DT version for our HD trucks. They have discontinued the DT, Different Tread, material version. This version doesn't have the SNOW rating. I have these DT version on my 19 Mega 3500 SRW and love them. The regular KO2s are soft and will never put them on the HD truck. I did put the regular KO2s on my wife's Toyota Sequoia and they are horrible. I see a lot of Falken WildPeak AT3W on trucks here in Iowa....
My dad has a set of KO2's with white letters he bought last year.
I loved my BFG AT’s on my old 14 Silverado. Had them in a 33”. Then switch to 35’s and bought falkens. What a terrible tired. Slipped and slide in the rain and was noisy. I wish BFG made a all terrain 37x12.5x18. I like my Nitto RG’s but did have some balancing issues upon install.
@@natehollingsworth1286 The DT is discontinued now. I have them on my ram 2500. I'll be going wildpeak at3 next.
Late to the party but I run 35" Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my Jeep. They are great offroad and have a lot of traction for rock climbing and going places that most people can't. However, they are terrible in the snow and rain. At a stop light they will spin in the rain and in the snow we were all over the place in the mountains. This is on a lighter Jeep so it may be different if you are running them on a full sized truck.
Cooper STT PRO. Awesome tire and great looks and traction.That’s what I’m going to put on my 2023 Rebel 2500 Diesel.
Had them on my ram. They looked good but they were the loudest mt tire I ever had and I've had lots of them. Also they were horrible on hard packed snow/ice.
I went with Cooper ST/Max on my supercharged 2017 Tacoma after a 3” lift. 255/85/16. They’re load-range E so I expect they make them in 35” or a slightly different tire from Cooper. Best part, they don’t sing much to my surprise. I’ve had Toyo OC, Nitto RG’s and Goodyears and Goodrich’s on my previous Cummins and V10’s and I’d put the Coopers right with them.
I have a 2020 ram 3500 mega cab with General Grabber ATX. I live in Michigan and they made me a lover of General tires. They do great in snow, rain, dry. I would say take a look at it. I also tow a 2022 Yukon 43’ 2600 lbs pin weight and the tires do great. The factory air suspension is a great option too. It rides a 1000 times better than the leaf spring only set up
My experience with my ‘18 Cummins is that it destroys tires very quickly. 20K miles is how long my Goodyear Wrangler’s lasted pulling my 17K LB toyhauler 5th wheel.
I would stick with an all terrain myself.
K02's for treadlife, and light offroad. Very smooth. I will say going to mud terrains is night and day from an all terrain for offroad, and snow. Just lean towards a directional tire for mud terrains to keep noise down.
I have the AT III and i absolutely love them. The great all around. The tire compound it is way better for wear than my previous good yr duratracs. The duratracs are amazing in snow but not good in hot weather. The AT III is super quiet almost like a stocker. Will be purchasing again in 50,000 miles
BFG KO2 on F250 with a lift currently have 55k miles on them. Never had noise and I am not the best about rotation and balance. Best tire I have ever owned. Its not even close either. Had Toyo at2 on it and for whatever reason it swam on the road in rain. Never did go away but I got about 40k out of them before the loud roaring started.
I missed the original story. I have the Toyo AT3 on my '20 Dodge Durango. And they have some life left in them with 63k miles. Great traction in rain and on icy roads. They also are awesome in the sand. Hardly got to drive them in snow.
But since you have 20" stock rims. The absolute best tire for your truck towing the same trailer my daughter and son-in-law spent 16 months traveling the USA and Canada with the 3 grandkids. Is the Cooper ST Maxx in 275/65-20. Anything better would require 9 or 10 inch rims and a AEV lift kit.
My daughters 2018 Ram 3500 Megacab 4wd 6.7L ran the stock 18" aluminum wheel. For that situation I recommended they run the General APT, since they wanted the stock 33" diameter. The 275/70-18 size is the same size as my wife's '18 2500 Ram Crewcab 6.7L Cummins. They gave good traction on grass pulling that big ole 5th wheel. The Cooper ST Maxx does last long. They are not the most popular tire. But I ran them on another truck in a tall skinny size as an experiment. Amazing traction, but I don't believe the tall skinny concept works the best in snow. The tires have been out in the sun for the last 4 years, after I switched to wider rims and tires on that truck. NO CRACKS!!! The Toyos on my Durango have cracks along the tread. The General APT tires on my wife's truck has cracks along the tread. All 3PMSF tires will crack along the tread. Just get the ST MAXX tires siped at America's Tire Company. Here in California I get siping done at Les Schwab. The tires grip better and ride smoother.
But whatever tire you get. Get the Centramatic tire balancing system. I put a set on my wife's truck yesterday. Took off all the weights. They balance perfect! Wheel wobble starts in tires above 35mph. The Centramatics start working as low as 22mph. I tested the installation at on the roads near Lancaster, CA. The ride was much smoother at up to 102mph. Went over alligator cracked pavement and other pavement defects. And got a smoother ride. The truck has Bilstein 5100 shocks in the back, and Eibach shocks in the front. The truck is stock height. And while the Bilstein 4600's are nicer than stock. We have a 4wheel pop up camper on order. And I found that pulling our bumper pull trailer. The firmer 5100 are the same size as the 4600's. But feel better on curvy mountain roads.
If you don't buy the Cooper STT MAXX. The Toyo AT3 are your best bet. If you use the stock 20" rim. Go with the 275/65-20 size. But change your brakes to Kevlar pads with any tire you buy. They will brake better in any conditions.
I have the Toyo Open country AT3 295/65R20
I have 132,000 Kms on them to date. They were installed last July. I do RV transport. I’m very happy with these tires and will be replacing these with another set when done.
You have a tough decision as several good choices out there! Good luck. 🇨🇦🇺🇸
Sorry for the late question, but do they do well when you transport an RV? I pull a 5th wheel and would like to know how they do. How are they in rain while pulling RV?
Great review. Replacing our tires this summer, too. Had stock-size BFG KO2s put on our '19 mega cab dually & they've been horrible. Maybe 30K on them (mostly work commuting) & they are severely scalloped on the front (alignment is spot-on) & wearing flat, but fast in the rear. Thinking of Ridge Grapplers going up 2 sizes to 255/80 R17, bringing it from 31" to 33". Full-time RVers also & will be hitting the road this fall after 3 years of being stationary - want something robust, long-lasting, & good looking, especially for around $2K for 6 of them.
Nitto ridge grappler is a great tire. Love it and no sound.
That’s what I own also 👍🏾
falken wildpeak at3-w are a good tire i'm using them now, coming from nitto grappler g2's the falken is a better ride and traction, alway's had to keep an eye on tire pressure with nitto's, the toyo your looking at is a really good tire to.
I wasn’t a NITTO fan until I got some NITTO Ridge Grapplers. Best tire I have ever had. I have them on a 2013 Ram 2500 on 20” wheels and 35’s. The tire looks good, rides well for what it is and the type of truck and they are QUIET. Good luck with the tire search
I'm running 34.5 mickey thompson baja boss AT. They are aggressive but best tires I've ever owned. 21 ram 2500
Good Year Duratrac's been running these for the past 10 years on different vehicles. Very reliable awesome in rain, snow and mud off road. I live in an area there are a lot of bush roads.
I have a a new Jeep Rubicon and we just went from the stock 33 BFG to the 35 Cooper Mt. I have only had them for a few months but I love them and the price was better then many others. You may want the AT for towing but either one I think you ll be happy with
Just food for thought, I actually spent less money buying 17" AEV Saltas and 35" Nitro Recon Grapplers and then selling my stock 20s than if I bought new 35s for the stock 20s. The advantage to a 17 or 18 wheel and 35 is a better ride with the higher sidewall. I found the best price for tires on Simple Tire.
Have had great luck with my Open Country RT 35's on my 350. Very tough tire. Wear is very good for a rough terrain tire. They are on the quieter side. I do pull a 37' tow behind toy hauler. Always enjoy your videos.
I love tires. I don't know why.. they just fascinate me. 😉
I've had the KO2 on a 2013 Tacoma but never on an HD truck. I've run the AT III on an F350 and then my Ram 1500 and loved them. Needed tires recently and had trouble getting them so I'm currently running Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT's and like them so far. Max load single is 4080 at 80 psi. Dual 3750 at 80 psi.
Seeing that you will not be in the mud I would buy Falken wildpeak At3. They are awesome in the snow and really good off-road.
Thanks, I have taken my truck in mud I just drove at 1 MPH 😂
@@JB_WhoWork I am going to order a new chevy 2500HD next week. I am planning on a gas truck. I maybe need a 3/4 ton twice a year for 100 miles or so at a time. Do you think I will regret not buying a diesel. The price difference isn’t my concern I’m more concerned with most of my driving is 20 minutes or less and the inconvenience of my truck going into regen mode.
Nope, unless you plan on towing at max, the gas is fine 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork if I ever tow at max it’ll probably be over and a very short distance hauling hay or something farm related.
Thanks for sharing our comments JB!! Loads of good info. If you and the family make it to Calgary, Alberta, Canada….look me up. Good luck with those new tires and your next big adventure!!
I like the round tire instead of the square
Great stuff JB. I don't know much of anything about tires other than they are vitally important all around. Thanks for the education my man!
No problem brother, I’m still learning to lol
discount tire is the way to go when buying tires, price matching and excellent service.
Agreed, although I have had some bad experiences with them not being able to rotate and balance my M/Ts properly from time to time.
I’m getting a buy 3 get 1 for a $1. It still equals to their price in the end 👍🏾
I had the Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my 2015 Ram 2500 and recently purchased the Cooper Rugged Trek and so far have not had any issues. I would have put the Nittos back on it but, the cost was crazy. I have the 35x12.5x20’s on it.
You should do a tire video when you get new tires for your trailer. If you do,…consider getting at least and F rated tire. They actually make them for 15” wheels.
I would even look at the Cooper Rugged Trek. Made in US and Awesome tires!
Just want to add my opinion for what it's worth. If you do not plan to take your truck off road and you want a great tire for rain and highway driving I think MICHELIN is your best bet. With the tires you are chosing you will lose the braking with the weight you are pulling. Look at a full tire test for braking under wet and dry conditions.
Nitto "Trail Grappler" bests that bunch
Falken Wildpeak AT3 great all around tire with the snow traction rating .
295/65/20 on Carli's leveling kit with rear bags to keep leveled when loaded, can't wait for your review! lol
I've had good luck with the Toyo a/t. They're a very durable tire. I can't believe that ridge grappler came in last though. I put 62,000 + on my first set and am at 50 something thousand on my second and I swear they look like they still have half the tread. That being said, I do not tow all the time. I don't cut em no slack though but I do keep them balanced and rotated religiously. 37 12.5 20 btw
Hankook Dynapro XT's!!!! They are a hybrid design with the 3 peak mountain snowflake symbol.
If you wanted to try my Nitto Recon Grapplers on 17 2500 Mega let me know. It was a toss up between them and the AT3s. I ran the AT2 Extremes on my 2010 3500 and loved them so I think the AT3s will be great. I got mine from the closet Discount Tire in VA coming from MD
Good stuff, the recons resemble the terra so I’m wondering if they have the same characteristics going down the road 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork They ride really good. Better wet traction than the Ridges, stability is better cornering, no off pavement use yet. I have not broken traction in fresh rain like my Terras & AT2s either. They are supposedly unofficially 3 peak rated.
Nitto exo grap for the win. 50k+ on a 12klb ram 3500 DRW 65k and going on a 350 DRW
I have general x3 in 35x12.50r17. Great grip so far decent wear at 10k. Are noticeably more noisey though. Available in black sidewall or red letters.
I wouldn’t ever put a 20 on my truck personally. 17/18 only here. But I highly recommend the kenda klever RTs personally.
On our 4th pair of yokohama G056’s… great lifespan and superior durability.
👍🏾👍🏾
All good options. Surprised you didn’t have the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss ATs. They look awesome. Thanks for the video, JB
I picked up the Goodyear Duratrax for my 1 ton. 35 12.50 20 I've had them before on other trucks they are great!!
Good stuff, I’m sure you’re lifted 👀
@@JB_WhoWork nope. 17 1 ton Duramax just a kryptonite leveling kit and upper control arms.
Always love new tire day!! 🇺🇸💪
This👆🏾! I just don’t like paying for them 🇺🇸💪🏾
Best tire I ever had was the cooper st. They don’t make it anymore.
I wonder if the discoverer replaced them 👀
They went to st maxx but never got the mileage out of them and always seemed to chop. If I remember correctly it was a softer rubber compound as well.
Toyo AT3 are great. I have the Toyo RT because the AT3 weren’t available at the time I purchased. The RT has more tread depth over the AT3
“…gonna be doing some more stuff with the truck…” For some reason, that comment makes me think you’re pulling the trigger on a Carli kit. Ha ha! Thank you for the plug bro! I’m thinking of doing a summer set of wheels and am 💯 getting Nitto Ridge Grapplers if I do get them. I like the aggressive look, but I’ll switch back to my Falkens for winter to handle the snow.
Haha! I wish, I’m on a budget right now 😂! No problem looking forward to breaking bread with you at some point. The ridge grapplers would look 🔥🔥! You should watch the last video I did, I posted a dually in it 👀
@@JB_WhoWork I saw that one! It looked pretty sick! I’m partial to the thick meats on smaller wheels, but that one looked really clean.
Nitto Ridge Grappler ride great, look good. But they suck in the snow and slicker conditions.
Look in to the good year duratrac
They are pretty good tires 👍🏾
Falken wildpeaks at3.
Best of luck with your new tires. That’s a difficult decision to make, especially when you’re spending close to 2 grand and will be living with them for years to come. So many factors come into play that it really makes it tough to decide. Hopefully I don’t have to worry about this for a few years haha 😆.
You got some great feed back on the tires JB. I know you pretty good and I thing I know what tires you ordered.
Yup! I already ordered a set 👀
Toyo hands down are the best
On my 2019 6.7 power stroke F 250, my wheels keep deforming when I trailer something. I’m running 325/50/22 Arturo tires right now. Any recommendations?
Hey JB thanks for the good work. What size wheels are better for towing large 5th wheel 18 inch or 20
Why not BFG Allterrains ko2 I’ve been running them for 26 years on my ram 2500’s usually get over 60,000 per set just waiting for my 2020 firestones to wear out so I can get back to the bfg’s
Nitto makes Toyo. I’m sure everyone knows that by now. Toyo is their cheaper tire. I do believe it’s a harder compound than the Nitto. You get a rougher ride but a little more mileage.
Wish i wouldve seen this earlier! You shouldve gone with the falken wildpeak's. Either the at3 or mt and im sure they are leaps and bounds over any tire on this list in all categories! And im not jabbing at any of these tires because i really wouldve chosen the yokohama's if it had to be from this list. I do ALOT of tire research and have personally tried the falkens as well as alot of these others and if there was a zombie apocolaypse i would choose falken as my last tire (ive towed heavy with both falkens in rain storms and never once did i lose any traction or feel any movement from the trucks!) Like i said tho, if its just from this list im hoping you went with the yokohama's followed by the toyo in 2nd. Either way i hope you are happy with your choice. I just started to test the goodyear ultraterrain's from discount tire on my HD and so far im very impressed in all condition's ive had them in and they are quiet.
Thanks, I wish I would have added them to the list because so many people have mentioned them 👍🏾
Why u didn't show your cooper's tires and give ale information about those? I'm looking for tires too and read some good things about those tires BUT I like to see more like u said
Firestone Destination X/T ?? I replaced a RAM 1500 with Duratracs with the Destinations and I think there far superior. Just my 2cents
Coopers, all day here in florida
KO2’s FTW. We have been towing our fifth wheel with them for 30k miles. They look and ride like brand new. This is the only tire that has ridden perfectly smooth for me. I really don’t think you’ll want MT’s… too aggressive.
Hey bud…Ck out Falken Wild Peak AT3. They have been amazing in all conditions.
Well I didn’t vote or comment on that poll because I have zero experience with any of those tires lol. But this was a cool video giving shoutouts to subscribers.
My two cents on the subject would have been just stay with an AT tire and maybe not go so aggressive tread design. But they do look cool.
My truck has 275/65/20 tires now and they are a Good Year Wrangler Trail Runner with the 3 peak rating. Only at 6,000 miles but I like them so far. I don’t think they make them in the 295/65/20 size however. A lot of guys with Chevys are just going to 35x12.50 and they claim they don’t rub. So I don’t know. But I may go up a size too when the time comes for my truck.
All good, I actually might do this after some of my videos because I literally can’t keep up anymore lol!
Yea right you’re gonna trade that truck before the years over 😂😂😂
You could have them install new on your next truck and sell the ones on yours 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork 😂😂 well you never truly know. But I will say that I like this truck better than anyone I’ve ever had. So my intention is to keep it.
I was going to make my first trip to the races Saturday and would be my first real towing experience with it but 60% chance of thunderstorms right now 🤬.
I did tow a “massive” 12’ single axle utility trailer with it. Handled it really good lol. Couldn’t even tell it was back there.
That stinks, there’s always the weekend 👀
You should have added Falken WildPeaks AT3
Have you looked into the cooper st maxx tires or the new mickey Thompson baja boss AT tires at all? I would vote for the toyo AT out of the 4 tires. Enjoying the content, keep up the great work.
Hey Josh, as soon as I ordered some tires, I got an advertisement about the Mickey Thompson Baja and completely forgot about them… I actually would have pulled the trigger on those instead 😩… thanks Josh 👍🏾
I still say goodyear dura tracs. They lasted well. Had good grip in mud,sand,snow,rain,ice. Ride was smooth. And i tow a 10k pound travel trailer. A lil noisy. But just listen to music and you don't hear it. Never have I ever had a better tire.I wish my new truck had them.
Thanks this and BFG’s seem to be everybody’s pick 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork thay have a good hard rubber but not to hard. My wifes uncle hates them cause they have hard rubber. But he dont tow and he
Likes new tires all the time I guess. Lol
@@JB_WhoWork also. I have to point
Out. I live in Minnesota. We get all the kinds of weather. Sometimes in the same week. And seriously I never have to worry about the control of my
Tires. The blocks are designed to clear the tread super fast. So no matter what kind of material you drive thru. The tires is always clear. Water
Puddles yea you get a hydro plane slightly. But that's just physics. Gravel cookies are handled with ease. But remeber. They not just regualr wranglers. They are called goodyear wrangler duratracs
Have you looked into the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT? Very aggressive looking, but very smooth and quiet
I did not and wish I did!
Good year wranglers has been the best I have ever had I had drove on 2 inches of ice and never put it in 4 wheel drive didn’t need to done so well rain snow mud did really well in I have Open county on now don’t like them they are terrible in the rain and the cooper I had a hard time to take off in the rain
They have a little more noise than my nittos but they are still a really nice tire 👍🏾
hey stay away from the Cooper's discovery xt3 I have the ones on my 1-ton Ram. paid over $300 a tire. trying to get them balance. Purchase them off a tire rack I sent two of them back I couldn't get them balance the tread is so aggressive that you will have a balance issue. If I can do it all over the hankook is the one that I probably would buy. the Cooper discoveries are real quiet smooth tired I love them good in the rain good in the snow the only downfall is that I cannot get them balance true still have a little shake took it to three different tire shops I spent over $200 trying to get these tires balance. I just gave up on them and just going to run them. I will wait till they break in and probably try to rebalance the set again I will keep you updated. FYI reason why I'm going to stay with the Cooper is because of the tire tread depth. They work well for towing my toy hauler I think I can get 60,000 mile out of these tires for a trade-off for a little bit of shake it's okay.
Thanks, I’ve had issues with a set of Nitto balancing, they used a lot of weights on a couple of them… 👍🏾👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork I just researched Road Force Balancing I found a shop I will take my truck there and let you know how it go. Thanks for the information keep up the group videos.
We run these on our fleet and I have these on my 4runner. No balancing issues whatsoever. They have very deep tread, and are snow 3 peak rated. Very quiet as well. A little pricey but worth it.
You might want to look at the Mickey Thompson's AT I live up here in cheektowaga New York and I couldn't ask for a better tire
I wish I would have remembered them, they never came up on any search…
How about Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T?
This is so hard to decide ... Also 35s or 37s
Look at Maxxis Razr A/T tire.
I have 285/65r20 ko2s on my Ram Cummins, and they have been horrible. By far the worst wearing tire I've ever had. They cost $480 per tire at discount tire I know this because I had one blow out while towing a smaller trailer on a shale road. The tires have been rotated religiously and they have cupped and worn out in under 21,000 miles. Never again will I buy ko2s. For me Toyos have been great I will be getting them next. Ko2s suck in the snow and wet roads for that matter. Most overrated tire imo
I don't think the big ko2 cab handle the weight. They were designed for the raptor
Great point, I’m going to be discussing this at some point 👍🏾
Are you planning on putting a leveling kit on the ram 3500?
Sure am
I hate these Firestone Transforce that came on my Ram 2500. Probably going Cooper in the next 5,000 miles. I'm only at 8,000 and they look like garbage.
Michelin atx l2 on a GMC AT4
Michelin LTX FULL STOP.
Oh, and NEXEN MTX makes their MT's in load range F.
Hankook Dynapro XT's or AT2 extreme
Na, man be different try they new Hankook Dynapro XT's. They are brand new and no one has them. I've had the Toyo AT3 and they are... Meh.
Toyo m/t 35x12.5R20 way better from my experience than the a/t's especially in the snow. All depends on how you want your tire to perform
Toyo AT3
👍🏾
Sorry MICHELIN LTX A/T2
Love my Toyo’s. Not a fan of Hankook.
Yea they would be fine for an SUV but I want something more aggressive 👍🏾
You should look at nitto trail grappler. Very aggressive look. I've have them on my last 2 trucks and I love them. I'm going to get them on my new 2022 ram 2500 megacab soon.
They may be a little too loud for wifey 👀
@@JB_WhoWork maybe. I guess we just got used to it to where we don't really hear it at all anymore lol.
No mickey thompson.....
