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
My KO2s were 5 or 6 years old with plenty of tread left. I stuck with BFG because I get plenty of miles out of them and I have no complaints from the KO2.
I switched from the stock Goodyear tires to E-rated BFG KO2 on my 2015 F150. There is a small but noticeable loss of quickness that you get used to. I also lost 2-3 mpg on the highway. I gained much better flat protection.
The traction is one aspect but proven durability off road is hard to put a value on. K02s have eaten some ugly road.
2k miles in and I love them. 1-1.5mpg decrease from the stock OEM tires.
I have KO2s and they’ve worked great for me.
But, it is MUCH smoother, still probably best off road of these on/road biased A/T tires. But, compared to Continental, lacks on road performance.
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
BFG K/O2 is the worst tire I've used. Noisy and bad MPG, worse off road performance than a mud or HT tire, and winter performance is barely acceptable.
Long ago my first new set of tires were BFG Trail T/A in 33/12.50/15 for my old IH. With less than 5k miles sidewall deteriorated on one tire. Another on opposite corner broke or slipped a belt.
