The compound in a decent snow tire like a Nokian, Michelin, Blizzak, etc… stays less form in cold weather and will stop better in the winter.
Excellent traction! His are E rated because he does tow so it rides pretty stiff. He said a lower rated tire would probably be more compliant. He said they're the best tires he ever had.
I have the BFGoodrich G-Force Comp2 and love them. They're a high performance all weather and they handle real well, plus look really sleek!
The Wildpeak AT3W's with the 3 peak rating were stock on my '20 JTR (33's). I swapped them to my old YJ when I immediately put 3 peak KO2's (35's) on my big Jeep. I like the KO2 VERY much, and I've bought many MANY sets of them.
KO2s all day. Even with the doors off, i cant hear the tires like i could with my G2's. Not knocking my G2s, but that KO2 is awesome.
Do not have experience with Nitto, but I have had three sets of KO2's on various trucks in various sizes. Last set started to dry rot a bit early IMO ... but otherwise they are a stellar tire for all conditions.
My vote is for KO2s. I had the first set on my ‘12 F150 for about 5 years. Replaced them with another set of KO2s and they’ve been pretty solid for the past year or so. Still plenty of tread left on them.
Can you get BF Goodrich all terrain ko2 or ko3? Those work well offroad (deserts and rocks) aren't noisy and grip well on pavement
The summer comp 2 has been really good in the dry and excellent in the wet in terms of grip and ride, but they fall way short of the Conti DW and the even better Mich PSS in noise. These things sound like altimax winter tires.
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.
