I love KOs and KO2s. They are amazing on my F250. Going over rocky terrain on a ranch yesterday I had confidence they wouldn't tear to shreds. They have been amazing for the last 6 years on that truck. I didn't know I liked them.
ive only ever used BFgoodrich KO2 on both my trucks. they have worked amazing on dirt and even managed to somehow some way work on mud so nasty and thick it wouldn't come off my clothes days later. maybe the Falkens are just as good i don't know but for now ill stick to what i know is a sure thing.
I currently have both. K02s on my taco and wildpeaks on my 4runner. I like the wildpeaks much more. The wildpeaks perform better in the snow and are quieter on pavement. They are also significantly cheaper. I've had endless balancing issues with the k02s. They ride a little harsher/stiffer as well. Off road the difference between the two is minimal.
I’ve had both. Wildpeaks on my 5th 4Runner and K02 on my Landcruiser. I prefer the look of K02 by a long shot if that matters to you. They both ride identical to me on the highway and snow honestly. They are both ATs so gonna cake up and suck in the mud.
K02!! If you're OK with less fuel efficiency they're beasts. Never buying a different tire.
Haven't had Falken but I currently have KO2's on my 470. I live near Durango at 8400' and still have 3' of snow. I haven't had any complaints with these tires, on road, off-road, on snow or ice. They perform way better than Yokohama's, or Hankooks in my opinion and I will most likely get them again.
Both great all terrains. Which means, good at most things, great at nothing. Ko2 is the standard for a reason, wildpeaks WERE the more affordable sexy new alternative. Were is the key, not much cheaper like they used to be. Still I got 40k out of mine before going back to ko2s on my gx470. Ko2 is a much better looking tire with a more unique tread pattern that works great in the snow and rain. Not so great in mud, but that’s why they make mud terrains.
I went cheap, Uniroyal ice and snow .
Still better than all seasons,
I had ko2s and took them off my truck within a week. All 4 were out of round with high road force in the 80's and 1 was 124. Then I went and got nittos and I have never been happier I will buy for my next set.
My dad complained about his Uniroyal tires ---way back in *1984*--- when he bought his Chevy Silverado.
