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
Definitely a bit less grip in the dry than the 215 PS4s, but they're actually usable in the cold, solid in the wet, and at least passable in the snow. I'm not sure how much of the change in handling is down to the taller sidewall and narrower tire, and how much is the tire compound itself.
This is simply my perspective. I’ve had KM3, 3 different times. They are soft, they are more round than squared and performed well but I chunked them a lot using them to climb. One set I had new suspension and forgot to realign after it settled and did a little towing. I cupped all 4 wheels in 1500 miles.
MRF is worst had same issue. They have lot's and lots of criteria my tyre had tread but still got rejected saying tyre had puncture. So can't replace it.
I burst my Elevate tyre due to my mistake (side wall damage), only 3k KMs on the odometer. MRF rejected the claim but Honda provided new tyre for free as a part of goodwill warranty.
