Tires BFGoodrich or GENERAL TIRE

Do not have experience with Nitto, but I have had three sets of KO2's on various trucks in various sizes. Last set started to dry rot a bit early IMO ... but otherwise they are a stellar tire for all conditions.

My vote is for KO2s. I had the first set on my ‘12 F150 for about 5 years. Replaced them with another set of KO2s and they’ve been pretty solid for the past year or so. Still plenty of tread left on them.

Can you get BF Goodrich all terrain ko2 or ko3? Those work well offroad (deserts and rocks) aren't noisy and grip well on pavement

I've been happy with General Grabber HTS60 for the last 2 years

Those BFG comp-2 are pretty decent also I used to run em on my 04 RSX Type-S and they would stick to the road fairly good

General Grabber HTS60

Good reviews on tire rack and consumer reports and more affordable than Continental Terrain Contact H/T or the Michelin Defender LTX M/S although slightly less mileage warranty.

General Grabber AT2's but they don't make my size anymore so this will unfortunately be the last set for me. Great tires though.

GMAXs are great budget tires but for only $150 more, the A/S4 are definitely worth it.

At the moment we have K02's on our van year round and G015's as winter tires for the Touareg. Both do their job in snow and the occasional mud at the trail head. At the time I got the K02's because they look more bad ass. They are overkill for me and are loud and getting louder as they wear.

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.
