All weather tires are a thing now, they’re between a dedicated winter tire and all season. They tend to do just as well in the snow as a dedicated winter tire but not as well on ice, but still better than an all season. The best part is they’re meant to be run all year round and are incredible in the rain as well. They do tend to be a little noisier than an all season and have a bit of tread squirm which you can feel on turn in. I run them on my daily and as soon as I hit the brakes for the first time in the snow I was completely sold, never going back to all seasons again.
I have a 2020 Kona SEL and replaced my Nexens with BF Goodrich 215s about six weeks ago and thought I would share my range difference after I got to try them out for my Thanksgiving road trip. I observed about 11% range lost in town driving and 8% range lost in highway driving with the new tires. I think it's well worth it to not feel like you are going to die every time it rains though haha.
BFG KO2’s best performance on road and off road in snow sand dirt ice rain. I have tried nitto’s and I seemed to have better performance and treaslofe with the KO2’s
03 suburban z71 with 33" KO2s
They do well in snow, mud, volcanic rock, and on pavement and I don't get road noise. They also last pretty long.
I’ve had General Grabber ATX on both my truck and prior 4Runner. They’re similar tread to KO2 but the rubber compound is amazing and has served me well enough to rebuy.
I’ve had BFG KO2s on 2 trucks and an SUV. Very happy with them, little to no noise, tread lasts too. Great grip even on my 2WD
I've had KO2s on my 2017 Silverado for a month or so now and have done quite a few highway miles and some off-roading with them. Overall I am quite happy with them and think they are a major upgrade over the stock tires.
I have an 05 Silverado 1500, the KO2s have been incredible! They are smooth on the highway and have a 50k mile warranty. I have taken them cross country and in the snow up in the Rockies (4WD of course but still). Worth every penny in my humble opinion.
I have a suburban and a Tahoe, I went with KO2 on both first but they suck in wet weather. Highway speeds and flash flood rains those tires are all over the road, and are noisy. They are great off-road and have taken them through rough terrain that took chunks off the sidewalk and never had a puncture and they last forever. I am now running the AT3w they are quieter on the road, perform better in wet weather. And they still perform well offroad.
K02’s have never given me a problem. Switched to Toyo ATII’s once and hated them.
