Tires BFGoodrich or GISLAVED
You might want to dial it back to a milder AT tire like the BFG Trail Terrains that I also have on my current ride. They track well, are quiet and smooth.
I got BFG Comp 5's (?) on my 350 RWD '07. They're great, my traction control is always off too and I don't think I've ever broken traction unintentionally.
I prefer my Wildpeaks but KO2s are a solid #2
I just got some Bf Goodrich G-Force comp 2 all seasons on my Camaro SS recently. I really like them so far. I'm coming from the stock f1 tires Chevy puts on Camaros.
BF Goodrich A/T KO2's may fit the bill, good on both trail and highway. However, they do decrease highway comfort a bit. You might also look at the BF Goodrich Trail-Terrains which are slightly less aggressive but much more comfortable on the highway. I have used and used both of these tires for years and easily get 40,000 - 50,000 miles on them.
The bf Goodrich trail terrain t/a’s are what I had on my xj, good tires that stood great on highway and on mud/sand/rocks. Didn’t lose any mileage either and they looked pretty good after around 1000 miles, no visible wear or tread loss so I’ll probably be running those in the future
I had Conti Vikingcontacts and those were great. Also, they are hard to find, but Conti owns a company called Gislaved tires who make outstanding winter compounds. They are from Sweden and engineered specifically for Scandinavian, Canadian, and Russian winters.
Just bought the BFG Comp 2 A/S from Sam's. I like them, the guy who put them on seemed to really like them, and I see them recommended a lot.
At the moment we have K02's on our van year round and G015's as winter tires for the Touareg. Both do their job in snow and the occasional mud at the trail head. At the time I got the K02's because they look more bad ass. They are overkill for me and are loud and getting louder as they wear.
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.
