Tires BFGoodrich or GT Radial
New 33" trail terrain bfgs
GT radial UHP AS tires are like $70 a tire, and more than good enough for the street. I even took them on track for a session, and while they are a bit floppy, they're also way better in the rain and more comfortable than most summer tires.
Ive been running KO2s for years and my most recent set is the KO3. I like them. They handle well on the road amd in the dirt, aren't loud at all, and last a decent amount.
Just get the GT radial IMHO, higher rating (60k miles) and cheaper than Douglas (45k miles).
I am a huge fan of my BF Goodrich ko2. The rigid sidewall helps with the rear end sway and load stability and the higher PSI reduces temperature from the sidewall under load as well. They have been excellent on-road, off-road, and snow. The only thing I will say is that at higher pressure in the tire I feel everything on the road.
I just installed GT Radial on my truck and they’re actually great! So far very pleased!
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
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 drive a 05 wrx and have had both Blizzak WS80 and GT Radial Ice Pro 3 on it. I only got the GT Radials because I was in grad school and they were cheap. They get the job done, but are definitely not as good as blizzies. Obviously haven't done any scientific tests, but the steering feel is noticeably worse on the radials, stopping distance is much longer, acceleration worse. Frequently notice them understeering significantly on both wet and snowy roads.
GT Radial SX2s are the spec tire for the SoCal 86 cup and they are pretty shitty to be honest but they hold up well
