Tires BFGoodrich or IRONMAN

I run 285 75 16 KO3s as an all season, do all tire. They're great in anything aside from mud. Great in deep dry snow, decent with ice or slush. Relatively quiet highway driving and comfortable.

I currently have 285/70r17 k02s and genuinely love them, and have put them through some pretty rough stuff.

I thought they must be crap but after looking into them, they are very well-reviewed. A traction A temp, UHP (ultra-high performance) rated. I like them. You could pay $400/tire for a premium brand but they won't be 4 times better or last 4 times longer.

BFGoodrich all terrain tires have been my go to as we have them on our jeep right now (which we are not keeping much longer).

The 275/70/17 size shouldn’t rub with stock suspension, my bfg ko2’s never did and now I have ko3’s and they don’t.

I personally love my BFG tires, and have had a good experience with multiple sets.

Another vote for Ironmans. Used to run them on my foxbody until I wanted more grip

My take after several sets of KO2 and the competition. KO2s look good and are very durable for off-road work. Excellent puncture resistance and tough sidewalls. For on-road they start fairly quiet but tend to get noisy after wearing. They flat-out suck in the rain, marginal at best in snow/ice, and tend to push in corners (poor lateral traction).

Can confirm that KO2 are horrible on ice and snow.

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).
