Got these yesterday can confirm they are way better then the pirellis so far
Smoother and quieter
Got mine from discount tire @ 10k miles. Didn’t get any snow with the oem Pirellis but can confirm the defenders are AMAZING in light snow (ATL). No regrets
Just installed these on my 22’s and way too early to speak to range but the grip is way better than the default pirellis (particularly on the snow we have had) though there is slightly more road noise
I have the 119 version of these same tires on my R1T and haven’t noticed a range difference vs the original pirellis
Have these in 22 and they're infinitely better than the default scorpions. Range is comparable if not slightly better by maybe 5%
Pirelli Angel GT or GT2. Works in a broad range of temperatures, predictable. And plenty grippy to drag pegs.
I just put a set of BFGoodrich Trail Terrain and love them so far
I bought KO2s because of the hype, 2 sets of them actually. And found them to be very mediocre in anything but dry dirt/rock. They have worn very well but on and offroad performance hasn't blown my hair back.
Used to work at a tire shop 2010-2014. In their price range, we had the most trouble with Pirelli’s. Customers would complain about the ride or noise more often than other brands and they’d get them exchanged for Michelins or Yoko’s. They also arrived with more factory defects compared to others.
I swapped out pirelli's to Michelin super sports on my gti and it was a night and day difference.
