Tires Nexen or BFGoodrich
I got BFG Comp 5's (?) on my 350 RWD '07. They're great, my traction control is always off too and I don't think I've ever broken traction unintentionally.
I prefer my Wildpeaks but KO2s are a solid #2
I just got some Bf Goodrich G-Force comp 2 all seasons on my Camaro SS recently. I really like them so far. I'm coming from the stock f1 tires Chevy puts on Camaros.
BF Goodrich A/T KO2's may fit the bill, good on both trail and highway. However, they do decrease highway comfort a bit. You might also look at the BF Goodrich Trail-Terrains which are slightly less aggressive but much more comfortable on the highway. I have used and used both of these tires for years and easily get 40,000 - 50,000 miles on them.
The bf Goodrich trail terrain t/a’s are what I had on my xj, good tires that stood great on highway and on mud/sand/rocks. Didn’t lose any mileage either and they looked pretty good after around 1000 miles, no visible wear or tread loss so I’ll probably be running those in the future
I was Super curious about these tires because they look good and second was was the fact that the hybrid community was giving high praise to these tires. 1. They look great ???? 2. The efficiency is indeed high. I went from 3.7mi/kwh to a solid 4mi/kwh. I really like these tires now. The reviews were no joke. These tires have better "range" than the Michelin Energy Saver that they replaced. Some people look down on these "off-brand" tires as they want something more expensive and a name brand. These tires are just fine.
I had a set on a 2006 Mini Cooper sjcw 215 40 17s now the ride was harsh and stiff but let me tell you you hit a turn you'll come out of it with the biggest shit eating grin on your face you ever could think of. For the price I'd call it a best bang for your buck tire so since you got them drive them you'll see they're pretty good.
I just paid 849 installed at Costco for the bfgoodrich advantage control the prices are crazy right now I don’t recall ever paying that much and that’s on sale I also have a Honda Accord
I worked in tire shops for many years and installed many sets of BFG all terrain K02. I used to cringe when I saw these tires on the work order. They are very heavy tires to handle and that weight doesn't help with mounting and balancing. Every time I installed a set of these, there would always be 1 or 2 tires that would ask for an obscene amount of weight when trying to balance. Sometimes as much as 10 ounces on a perfect rim. We would try to promatch them but sometimes they would still want 5-6 ounces. Sometimes we would peel the tire off and try another one from stock if we had more. If we had no other stock, we would slap the weight to it and hope the customer didn't come back with a vibration. Also, everyone I've ever talked to who had these said they turn hard as a rock when they are cold and are terrible on ice.
I've never liked them. Bought one set during a rain storm, literally spun out into the median in front of a Buffalo wild wings while pulling out of discount tire.
