Tires BFGoodrich or RIKEN

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.

Bfg trail Terrains. I’ve got them on my Explorer timberline when I replaced the duelers that came on it. They are great for the off-roading I do down forest service roads/etc and in snow. They are also way quieter than the duelers.

My “RíKEN RAPTOR” tires sound pretty… well I think about my driving on cooler temp roads with corners or any moisture.

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).

every truck i have been in with ko2s have been noisy

Can confirm that KO2 are horrible on ice and snow.
