Tires BFGoodrich or KENDA

I just put a set of BFGoodrich Trail Terrain and love them so far

Good advice below, I have LTs with K02 but I would get C rated instead if I could get them in same setup I have, tire, rim, raised letters.

Less mass means more mpg on highway. Offroad the softer tires can feel softer too.

KENDA Venda uhp max. 200 tw, cheap, good in the rain, still real sporty

I’m running 265/70/17 (123 load) K03 on my 4Runner and I’ve been pleased with washboard performance (2mi of sort on my commute). They do like to chuck rocks more than the AT3W (not sure how the AT4W is). Rain performance has been great here in Maine. Haven’t had enough snow yet

I never had a puncture on multiple sets of KO2's.

I switched the Kumho Crugens that came with my 2022 Santa Cruz SEL nonturbo with activity to BF Goodrich Trail Terrain, still at 245/60r18 about 2 weeks ago. The Trail Terrain is a lot more quiet, in fact, I can hear the hum of the engine much clearer now. Great in mild snow and ice, never slipped. It also performed very well in the rain and a little puddle, no hydroplaning so far. Cornering is not at good as the Crugen and needed a bit of correction. The ride is almost as comfy as the Crugen, but I can feel the little road imperfections subtly. I averaged 26.8 mpg on the Crugen, the Trail Terrain set me back a dismal 23.9 mpg.

Ko2 = great on rocks and most trails. Pretty bad if the trail will get muddy and clog up the tread blocks. <10k miles relatively quiet. 10k-40k loud Nearly indestructible though even with lots of sharp rocks. Neve punctured one. Lots of balancing problems. Thank 4wheelparts for free rotate and balance. AT3W= Similar experience in most terrain. Maybe mildly better on packed snow but id say it's a wash. Quieter over all for highway driving mine have about 30k on them now.

I’m just about to replace my KO2 265/70r17s. I put them on in 2018 and have 62,000 miles on them. They have been great - just avoid mud but that goes for all AT tires. Over the last year they got louder on highway and wet traction sucks right now due to wear.

I purchased Kenda

Vezda UHP Summer full set tires. I have a SL550 Mercedes I purchased them 2 months ago, I have 4000 miles on the tires I went to get a tire sensor, the tech at Discount Tire show me all my tires are cracked and splitting one going totally across the tread, worst set of tires I've ever bought in my life 60 years totally defective and dangerous

I know I'm way late to the party but I'd go with the Falkens, I had a set of KO2s on my TJ and they where an absolute bitch to get balanced and caused a ton of vibration between 60 and 65 mph
