Had ko2's on my 03 outback and for the 3k miles it had them, they still looked brand new
Le ho comprate per la mia compagna. Io non ci ho guidato molto, lei riferisce miglior feeling e affidabilità rispetto alle Nexen che aveva in precedenza
The cheapest tires I would recommend is GT Radial Champiro Eco / Ecotec.
I have been really happy with my BFG HD Terrains. Picked them up from eBay as a set of takeoffs in practically new condition. Great on and off road.
I have 70k on them and probably another 5k to go but I do have 5 tires total in rotation. The K02s are pretty quiet on road and perform well enough when offroading in the Sierras. Almost zero time in snow though.
I’m now a few thousand miles into a set of K03’s. The K03 solved all of the negative K02 issues and surpassed the AT3W. I’m very happy.
GT Radial tires.
This is simply my perspective. I’ve had KM3, 3 different times. They are soft, they are more round than squared and performed well but I chunked them a lot using them to climb. One set I had new suspension and forgot to realign after it settled and did a little towing. I cupped all 4 wheels in 1500 miles.
I have load range E tires (BFG KO3) on Rock Warrior 17" forged wheels, so I've made that tradeoff too, but am clear-eyed about consequences. Also, loss in MPG and acceleration due to having to spin more weight on each wheel. And incorrect speedometer / odometer readings. And loss in tow capacity (due to giving away torque via taller tires, which effectively decreases gear ratios).
Post is old but for others who read- these are the absolute worst tires I have ever purchased. Do not recommend. Replacing after 2 years and a load of probs later. You get what you pay for!
