    I burn through those k2 tires..I think they are fantastic on gravel grass mud dirt..run them on the highway at 65..you will get the slipped belt..wobbles....if your on dirt and snow...if your crossing over from dirt and snow to highway like I do..they won't last ..but are cool looking..no argument there..lots of good information

    Falken Wildpeak AT3 SL and Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT are the best!! I like them better over my Ridge grapplers that i had 2 sets of and I hated my KO2’s both sets I had. And I wasn’t impressed by the Duratracs i tried years ago.

    Not sure if mine are the K02s, but they are definitely BFGs. (98 Tacoma 4x4)
    They look good, but they really suck in the rain for light trucks; even with a little bit of weight in the bed. However, sliding can be fun sometimes; but spinning while trying to get up to speed in traffic is not cool. And having to wait till it's all clear to merge, just makes it worse. That said, I think they were good in the rain the first month or so; if I remember correctly.
    I'll probably never buy them again.

    E rated tires are overkill for non-off roaders. KO2’s look the part but if you don’t go off road they ride ruff. Michelins LTX Defenders are a great choice but don’t have the rugged off road look. I’m loving my first set of A/T tires. Removed the one year old stock Firestone Destination LE2 highway tires and went with the newly designed Toyo Open Country AT 3’s. One size up from stock in a P-metric load rating. They have improved rain performance. No rubbing at all. Makes my TRD Sport look more rugged.

  • @robob221

    I understand the visual appeal of all terrain tires but you are spending 90-95% of your money 5-10% of driving time. Go ahead and throw away some cash on nice looking rubber that makes your truck drive worse 90-95% of the time, but this trend should be grounded in reality. You need some really nice shocks and sound insulation to manage the negative affects of all terrains. Which most trucks do not have unless you spend over 45grand. A Raptor with Ko2's probably drives better than my 34k tacoma with Micheline LTX all seasons.

    Great video. "E" class tires drive whole lot different than "S" class or "C" class tires. Especially in the run due to the "E" class heavier and thicker rubber compounds. I drive "Three Mountain Peak" tires year around and they do great in the wet stuff regardless of class due to the softer rubber to grip in the wet stuff. I've tried the KO2s on my Tacoma in 265/75/16. I had to take them back and have them swapped out due to their weight. The Tacoma gearing could not handle them. I went with an "S" class Yokohama Geolandar AT GO15 in the same size and they were fantastic. I currently run the "E" class Yokohama Geolandar in 275/70/18 on my Tundra and they are great in all conditions including snow and ice which I just made a video. Everyone has their favorite tire manufacturer and honestly I always lean towards Michellin, but I am very happy with these Yokohama Geolandars.

    The KO2's do look awesome, work great in the mud and snow but totally suck on wet pavement, compared to other similar tires. On tires look for a full circumference slot that water can get in the slots and stay there. The KO2's do not have that full circumference slot(s). I used to use them exclusively for decades until I started noticing the excessive hydroplaning.

    I researched the most popular AT tires for my 2021 Tacoma TRD Sport and chose the Falken Wildpeak AT3 tires. I opted for the 265 70R 17’s to fill the wheel wells a bit better and the SL (Standard Load) so the sidewalls would flex more than the C or D rated tires. I’ve driven about 500 miles on them and they handle well with little noise. I’ve driven them on the snow and ice covered roads and they have great traction. I’ve not even needed to put the truck in 4wd. I can’t compare these tires to any others because these are the only AT tires I’ve had on the truck. I will tell you that I just had my 15,000 mile service at the Toyota dealership and they had stacks of different makes of tires. They said they sell more of the Wildpeaks than the other brands.
