I ran KO2s on my '18 4Runner off-rad that the ex-wife took and liked them so much I now have them on my '23 GX. I can't speak to the Falkens but I love the KO2s, off road and on (at least for the light/medium off roading I do).

I’ve never been able to bring myself to buy Goodrich tires again. Had a bubble on the sidewall they should have warrantied, but refused. I’ve had two sets of Wildpeaks and loved them. Excellent performance in Midwest weather and off-road. When the stock tires on my Frontier wear out, I plan to replace them with Wildpeaks.
running KO2s on my FJ but like others are saying theyre not good when it rains. tried toyo at3 on my gx and i think theyre better on-road but they only lasted me couple years. i dont know.. i switched to hankoook dynapro extreme. i find the hankook more quiet than the toyos. very good onroad manners and wet traction
I love KOs and KO2s. They are amazing on my F250. Going over rocky terrain on a ranch yesterday I had confidence they wouldn't tear to shreds. They have been amazing for the last 6 years on that truck. I didn't know I liked them.
ive only ever used BFgoodrich KO2 on both my trucks. they have worked amazing on dirt and even managed to somehow some way work on mud so nasty and thick it wouldn't come off my clothes days later. maybe the Falkens are just as good i don't know but for now ill stick to what i know is a sure thing.
I currently have both. K02s on my taco and wildpeaks on my 4runner. I like the wildpeaks much more. The wildpeaks perform better in the snow and are quieter on pavement. They are also significantly cheaper. I've had endless balancing issues with the k02s. They ride a little harsher/stiffer as well. Off road the difference between the two is minimal.
Ko2 = great on rocks and most trails. Pretty bad if the trail will get muddy and clog up the tread blocks. <10k miles relatively quiet. 10k-40k loud Nearly indestructible though even with lots of sharp rocks. Neve punctured one. Lots of balancing problems. Thank 4wheelparts for free rotate and balance. AT3W= Similar experience in most terrain. Maybe mildly better on packed snow but id say it's a wash. Quieter over all for highway driving mine have about 30k on them now.
I’ve had both. Wildpeaks on my 5th 4Runner and K02 on my Landcruiser. I prefer the look of K02 by a long shot if that matters to you. They both ride identical to me on the highway and snow honestly. They are both ATs so gonna cake up and suck in the mud.
I had both on my 2017 3rd gen Tacoma. I kept the truck stock as far as suspension, no lift, etc. I started with KO2s and put about 20k miles on them. Then I switched to WPs because the KO2s were garbage in the snow. Although I mostly switched due to the poor performance on ice and snow, the plus was finding out that the road noise and vibration was night and day. I didn’t know how bad the KO2s were until put on the WPs. WPs drastically improved snow and ice performance as well as road noise and just overall smoothness of the drive.
KO2’s are trash. Very hard to balance correctly.
