BFGoodrich KO2

Anybody running the new BFG KO2 All terrain tires? How do you like em? I'm currently on Nitto Trails, and like the tire, but looking into something better for everyday(95% highway/city ) use.

Thanks,
Rob

I actually put these on two days after I bought my 14. I really like them! I think they look so much better than the original KO's. They're smooth and I believe quieter than the original as well; I had the KO's on my Tundra.
Today we took the truck out for the first time in the snow; the tires did great. Unfortunately, it was more ice than deep snow but the tires handled the ice with no issues. I didn't bump the sizing; just 275/65's.

Thanks dexx! They look good. I'm not expecting a big difference overall but a lot of little improvements like better ride, quieter ride, better traction in rain, maybe a slight mpg gain etc..

I found some 35" for under $300.

Dang, nobody else running these tires? Thought there would be more opinions.

Ok, I am not necessarily running these tires, but I did have them in the summer time in 31's. I put a lot of lift on my truck and started pricing 35's.....The price was ridiculous, then I Priced them new in 31's for my brothers truck because we were both content with the quality; we found a huge price jump... I asked around and found out that with such an increase in popularity they jumped their price, so with more looking I found out that General Grabbers A/T have the exact same tread pattern and even a little deeper only 200 dollars cheaper for a set of 4... I bought them and have put 10,000 miles on them and could not be happier...

BFG is taking a full year to roll out the 61 sizes it will offer. The first tires rolled out late fall and there aren't too many popular fitments out just yet.

Thanks! They are out in 35" though. Which is a pretty popular size.

Thanks for the input, jamesonf150!

I remember when the Nitto Trail Grappler came out a few years back and how limited the sizes were. Since then they have a numerous arrangement of sizes, and are extremely popular. Given that its BFGoodrich I'm sure this tire will be a hit as its predecessor. Give it some more time.

Got the new shoes put on 2 days ago. Wow what a difference! It's like driving stock again. Ride is sooo much smoother, and quieter. Handling is a lot better too. I'll be honest, I expected it to be better but not this much better. Very impressed. Although truck does take a bit of a mean/aggressive hit to it's looks. But that's the only "con" I have.
