Of those are the only two tires your considering, then Nittos hands down. I ran one pair of KO2s… that was the first and last time I’ll run BFGs. Never had an issue with Nittos.

Nitto in load range E. I have probably 350k miles on multiple sets and never had a flat and I've been from the Arctic ocean to Mexico and everywhere between. Damn near bullet proof.
Ran Ko2s on my last rig (xterra) and running ridge grapplers on my current (tundra). Ko2 handle great overall. Never had an issue with them except road noise. I find the Ridge Grapplers are great overall, except snow. They suck in the snow.
It comes wrapped with a new-ish set of Nitto Nomaf Grappler size 235/60-18 excellent for a Q3 or Q5 fitment. Nitto tires made in the USA and are mild A/T tires. Has 3PMSF certification. Only driven less than 3000 miles before deciding to go full 20” on my Q5.
If you're only buying one set of all seasons year round then nitto neo gen are really good value.
I've got those same tires and I love them. I'll be getting another set of them when this set is through.
Best tires I’ve ever owned. They’re expensive as shit here in New Zealand, if you can even find them, but they’re worth every penny.
Nitto Motivos. They came with the car so I can't compare. I'm sure they're nowhere as good, but seem like a good value based on the price. They skip just a bit on a hard launch even when warmed up. Good in the summer. I live in S-FL, so no experience with winter roads. I did some racing on a cool night and broke loose coming out of first. Pretty good on wet roads for the most part as long as you don't do any racing.
I’m seeing the same thing on mine, not to mention my side walls are cracking on one tire. I am at about 60,000 miles so there technically out of warranty but still the fact that I’m seeing dry, rot and cracks all over the place is ridiculous. I’m in Maryland, it’s not particularly hot. But overall pretty disappointed in the next set of tires isn’t gonna be Nitto.
With 2 sets of Ridge Grapplers, I always had one that the tire shop never could balance. Plus they aren’t any quieter than a mud terrain.
