Tires BFGoodrich or PHANTOM
I’m running BFG KO2s and I like them so far. I wish I would have waited for the KO3s to come out is my only regret, but they seem to be holding up well. I ran Yokohamas ATs for years, and my brother convinced me to upgrade to BFGs this last time.
I Run the KO3. They are really quiet and comfortable on highway and great off road. They have lasted me a while so far.
Vermonter here. I have a set of K03 on my Tundra. So far they’re a good winter tire. 4x4 is still a must with any winter travel but I can drive through just about anything.
I have same truck but 2017. I ended up with the BFG Trail-Terrains T/A from Costco on sale. They've been good all-rounders between longer highway miles but also on dirt and in snow.
I’m at almost 30,000 miles on my KO2s and there’s still 9-10/32 treads. Much better than the OEM tires.
I put BFG KO3s on a month ago and I like them so far in the snow, havent had a chance to test mud or sand yet. Im coming from general APT that worked fine for like 50k miles, I wouldnt say they were amazing at anything but they weren't terrible.
Sure, for about 12k miles.
Some tires are made in China and some possibly(?) better ones are made Vietnam, while made in Korea tires usually aren't bad, but may not last as long as expensive tires. For safety, I wouldn't go too cheap on tires. Many cheap tires have rather poor traction when new and become unsafe with only a few miles of wear on them. The Chinese tires often are made of very hard rubber, which might wear well, but has poor traction. There may be some in between tires made in the Philippines, but I'd avoid them. Kumho is a Korean tire company with majority Chinese ownership by a Chinese tire company. They make Phantom tires, likely in China, but even in Korea, they would be the low end. Hankook tires are "better" Korean tires. Not the best, but seem safer. I'd check tire reviews on the Internet.
Skip the BF Goodrich. Overpriced and overhyped. The worst tires I have ever owned in 40 years of driving.
Personally i wouldn't do ko2s, ive had 2 sets that were installed on trucks i bought and around 75% tread left they started packing full and slicking over.
