Tires BFGoodrich or OEM Volkswagen

I've been happy with the bfg ko3 tires. Noise wise they're similar to the scorpions, but switching from the old scorpions to the new ko3s was like night and day. I've only got about 7k on then but they haven't become any louder yet

Had an 04' wrx with BF Goodridge tires. Rotated them every 10k miles and they lasted almost 75k.

Had ko2's on my 03 outback and for the 3k miles it had them, they still looked brand new

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.

I know that I went through my first set of rears rather quickly on my VW ID3.

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).

got rid of my KO2 when I got stuck on my friends brick paved driveway because it was at a slight uphill (everyone else made it up perfectly fine and looked at me like i was disabled). This wasnt the first wet incident.

every truck i have been in with ko2s have been noisy
