Tires BFGoodrich or PHANTOM
Good advice below, I have LTs with K02 but I would get C rated instead if I could get them in same setup I have, tire, rim, raised letters.
Less mass means more mpg on highway. Offroad the softer tires can feel softer too.
I’m running 265/70/17 (123 load) K03 on my 4Runner and I’ve been pleased with washboard performance (2mi of sort on my commute). They do like to chuck rocks more than the AT3W (not sure how the AT4W is). Rain performance has been great here in Maine. Haven’t had enough snow yet
I never had a puncture on multiple sets of KO2's.
I switched the Kumho Crugens that came with my 2022 Santa Cruz SEL nonturbo with activity to BF Goodrich Trail Terrain, still at 245/60r18 about 2 weeks ago. The Trail Terrain is a lot more quiet, in fact, I can hear the hum of the engine much clearer now. Great in mild snow and ice, never slipped. It also performed very well in the rain and a little puddle, no hydroplaning so far. Cornering is not at good as the Crugen and needed a bit of correction. The ride is almost as comfy as the Crugen, but I can feel the little road imperfections subtly. I averaged 26.8 mpg on the Crugen, the Trail Terrain set me back a dismal 23.9 mpg.
I have bf Goodrich GeForce comp 2 and they are fantastic in the rain. Not sure if they sell a size to fit the stock wheel but 205 45 16 only rubs on hard corners downhill and it’s lowered in coilovers
Yeah, keep rotating them and keep the alignment good. My BFG KO2s are holding up very well, having 40k miles on them.
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.
Just wanted to put this out there on my experience with the BF Goodrich Advantage Control tires I purchased from Costco. Bought the BFG tires with 60k on my car. I now have 118k. At 110k I noticed a roaring sound coming from my front end and thought it might be a front wheel bearing. Not the case. Noticed that on the outside tread of all the tires, about every third knobby, was worn greater than the others. Always maintained the proper PSI and rotated every 5k miles.
If you have an electric car or plug-in, the BF Goodrich are complete ass. I’ve been noticing my experience and other owners of different brands that our range has dropped more than 20%.
