Of those are the only two tires your considering, then Nittos hands down. I ran one pair of KO2s… that was the first and last time I’ll run BFGs. Never had an issue with Nittos.
Nitto in load range E. I have probably 350k miles on multiple sets and never had a flat and I've been from the Arctic ocean to Mexico and everywhere between. Damn near bullet proof.
I’ve been running Toyo open country AT3 with good luck. Quiet on the pavement, indistinguishable in dry from higher end options, and really good in ice/snow.
Ran Ko2s on my last rig (xterra) and running ridge grapplers on my current (tundra). Ko2 handle great overall. Never had an issue with them except road noise. I find the Ridge Grapplers are great overall, except snow. They suck in the snow.
I have had the Toyo's (3 sets) and the Geolanders (2 sets). Traction wise, it's a wash. Both do well in rain and ice. Off road is the same. The Toyo's lasted MUCH longer than the Geolanders.
I have Toyo Open Country AT3s now, and I'm always impressed with how quiet they are, given their aggressive tread. Had them for about 14k miles and they've performed well in mud, snow, and over rocks - but still feel good on the highway.
It comes wrapped with a new-ish set of Nitto Nomaf Grappler size 235/60-18 excellent for a Q3 or Q5 fitment. Nitto tires made in the USA and are mild A/T tires. Has 3PMSF certification. Only driven less than 3000 miles before deciding to go full 20” on my Q5.
Nitto Motivos. They came with the car so I can't compare. I'm sure they're nowhere as good, but seem like a good value based on the price. They skip just a bit on a hard launch even when warmed up. Good in the summer. I live in S-FL, so no experience with winter roads. I did some racing on a cool night and broke loose coming out of first. Pretty good on wet roads for the most part as long as you don't do any racing.
Also these Nittos suck lol
Looks like NITTO NT 555 G2s… they suck sorry. Found out the same after I already bought them for my GTO.
