I personally have sumitomo and I really like them. Good traction. Good for regular road driving or mountain driving and all weather. A little bit pricier, but I feel the quality is worth it.
Your KO2s/KO3s are excellent tires, you don't need any other tires for a 3 mile drive. They are 3PMS tires and perform well on ice among AT tires.
You can now get the K 03 in the OEM size for the 20” wheel. I have them and love them but it’s a lot of tire if you’re not off roading.
Ultra-High Performance All-Season (best summer grip for A/S)
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4
Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus
BFGoodrich g-Force Comp-2 A/S Plus
I just replaced all 5 on my Forester, BF Goodrich All Terrains, for AU $1250, so about US $840 at Costco.
BF Goodrich KO3 AT , I have those now and road sound is barely there, compared to my previous tires , which were Toyo Open country trail rt. Grip is really good, They are wet and snow rated , so they do really well on those conditions but overall, are great.
K02s aren't the best on wet/slushy pavement in my opinion. I've had the rear step out on me twice cornering, spin in place at a stop a few times and pretty much guaranteed to get a bit loose on standing water with speed.
I run the BF Goodrich K02, but I’ve heard the new K03 is a bit average.
Worn KO2s are known to have lots of siping, but for some reason the siping doesn\u2019t go all the way down and they\u2019re known for getting pretty bad in the wet/snow vs some other off road tires.
I have k02 on mine and i dont like them. They look great and in mud and dirt they are great but a little water ore snow and ice and they break free if i goose it just a hair.
