I’m a KO2 guy though. Off-road performance is unreal. The 10-ply are nearly indestructible. They drive great and mine have always stayed quiet(I know other people haven’t had that experience).
Downside of a KO2 10 ply is they are heavy and sap fuel economy.
KO2s for me have been excellent. They are quieter than the stock Goodyears for me, ride a little better and a ton more capable. Plus after 20k miles they aren’t showing any wear and only down 1/32nd so by that math they’re going to last a very long time.
I took a 1mpg hit going to them but that’s expected.
Bfg KO2s did well for the 4 years I've had them and we had the freezes with iced roads the last 2 years.
I've seen similar sentiments online about Pirelli that didn't really match my experience. Most of my favorite driving sets of tires have been Pirellis. Not necessarily best by the numbers, but by how they felt on some of my more communicative cars on the road.
Depends on the model. I’ve had some great experience with Pirelli Scorpions and the P Zero. Usually not my brand of choice but if nothing is available and they are I’ll run them. Definitely more of a Michelin PS2/C type for my sport cars though. I’m about 3k miles into a set of PZero 21” on my LR Discovery. They handle the weight of the vehicle and road conditions really nice, so far have no complaints.
Honestly have no idea why anyone hates them but after giving up my OEM Yokohama Geolander for Michelin Defender 2's that had a weird vibration on the highway that the tire shop insisted wasn't from a bad balance, I returned those and got the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3's. They ride MUCH better than the Defenders, which were one of the highest rated tires everywhere, and there is no weird vibe on the highway. My 22 CX-5 never rode so good.
I’ve had Scorpions on my car for ten years by now. When I had Michelins and Bridgestones they did not drive nearly as smoothly
Ran through a set of KO2s on my Raptor, like the previous guy commented they seen to get louder with age, granted I am running 37s. Personally I have had good experience with Cooper AT3s
I recently purchased 4 new Pirelli Tires at Sam's Club. The new tires fixed the loud humming, but now when driving highway speeds, it feels like the car (2018 Land Rover Discovery HSE Sport) is all over the lane, almost like the wind is blowing the vehicle around.
My Acura and GF’s Camry have Pirelli’s that we bought last year in April that are great. We bought a Highlander in November that had a set of new lauffen tires from Walmart. They have had 2 nails already. Bad luck, maybe. I’m convinced the tires are softer and more susceptible to damage.
