I ended up going with the KO3 recently when my badlands tires wore down. They are noticeably better in the rain and taking quick turns without the backend slipping.
We have been very happy with our KO2s, which we got because that was the most popular used by local plow drivers and didn’t find the need to reinvent the wheel.
I've been running BFG K02s on it since I put it on the road in 2017, they are finally worn down enough that I wouldn't want to run them this winter. I've had no complaints about the K02 personally, its a solid all around-er.
I live in Lake Tahoe and I run ko3 all year round with zero issues. Highly recommend them.
My K02s have been awesome for everything I've thrown at them.
Southern Maine here. The KO3s I’m currently running are terrific in both rain and snow. Every bit as good as the old AT3W in both. Only time I went 4hi last winter was on a particularly twisty/hilly part of my commute (narrow two lane rd) and that had more to do with me being overly cautious, not because it was slipping
I had a set and my only complaint was they weren’t very good in mud, other than that they were great.
I bought KO2s because of the hype, 2 sets of them actually. And found them to be very mediocre in anything but dry dirt/rock. They have worn very well but on and offroad performance hasn't blown my hair back.
I have load range E tires (BFG KO3) on Rock Warrior 17" forged wheels, so I've made that tradeoff too, but am clear-eyed about consequences. Also, loss in MPG and acceleration due to having to spin more weight on each wheel. And incorrect speedometer / odometer readings. And loss in tow capacity (due to giving away torque via taller tires, which effectively decreases gear ratios).
with the balancing issues on the KO3 I decided to switch it up this year.
