Tires BFGoodrich or OEM Subaru
I have 70k on them and probably another 5k to go but I do have 5 tires total in rotation. The K02s are pretty quiet on road and perform well enough when offroading in the Sierras. Almost zero time in snow though.
I’m now a few thousand miles into a set of K03’s. The K03 solved all of the negative K02 issues and surpassed the AT3W. I’m very happy.
Bfg trail Terrains. I’ve got them on my Explorer timberline when I replaced the duelers that came on it. They are great for the off-roading I do down forest service roads/etc and in snow. They are also way quieter than the duelers.
Love the BF Goodrich trail terrain for my suv. Has about 90k miles on them
I run 285 75 16 KO3s as an all season, do all tire. They're great in anything aside from mud. Great in deep dry snow, decent with ice or slush. Relatively quiet highway driving and comfortable.
I currently have 285/70r17 k02s and genuinely love them, and have put them through some pretty rough stuff.
BFGoodrich all terrain tires have been my go to as we have them on our jeep right now (which we are not keeping much longer).
I bought KO2s because of the hype, 2 sets of them actually. And found them to be very mediocre in anything but dry dirt/rock. They have worn very well but on and offroad performance hasn't blown my hair back.
I have load range E tires (BFG KO3) on Rock Warrior 17" forged wheels, so I've made that tradeoff too, but am clear-eyed about consequences. Also, loss in MPG and acceleration due to having to spin more weight on each wheel. And incorrect speedometer / odometer readings. And loss in tow capacity (due to giving away torque via taller tires, which effectively decreases gear ratios).
with the balancing issues on the KO3 I decided to switch it up this year.
