Tires BFGoodrich or NANKANG

I’m a KO2 guy though. Off-road performance is unreal. The 10-ply are nearly indestructible. They drive great and mine have always stayed quiet(I know other people haven’t had that experience).

Downside of a KO2 10 ply is they are heavy and sap fuel economy.

KO2s for me have been excellent. They are quieter than the stock Goodyears for me, ride a little better and a ton more capable. Plus after 20k miles they aren’t showing any wear and only down 1/32nd so by that math they’re going to last a very long time.

I took a 1mpg hit going to them but that’s expected.

Bfg KO2s did well for the 4 years I've had them and we had the freezes with iced roads the last 2 years.

I just had a hard time finding 205/50/15 for my 1997 gti vr6. I ended up buying Nankang NS2 tires.

BF Goodrich is Michelin’s “consumer” brand; I’ve had those exact tires on my Mazda3 and liked them a lot.

I switched from BFG KO2s to these and I'll never go back. Very quiet at highway speeds, smooth, and great in the snow. 85k KMs on them and still like new

After the first winter it was clear the BF Goodrich tires are great on dry/wet pavement but not snow.

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 had the same issue with my ko2s. Stock 2021 off-road on 265/70/16 E load. The shitty oil change place I went to balanced them with about 30 pounds of weights. Had crazy vibration in my steering wheel and seat where it felt like I was going over moguls.
