Tires BFGoodrich or SUNNY

I, also, have the KO2's after having KO's. I have been quite happy with them and they have been better in snow (when we manage to get any snow) so that is a plus for me. They have done well on dirt and slickrock so if you are doing a variety of driving they will serve you well.

BFGOODRICH G-FORCE SPORT COMP-2 XL on a 2005 Cooper S. They’ve been on for 3 years and ~21k miles. Great tire, good wear pattern and I’ve rotated them 2x.

I'd be inclined to go with something like this : BFGoodrich Advantage T/A Sport LT - Size: 235/70R16 it is Severe Snow Service Rated and $136.99 @ Tire Rack

I also live in the Twin Cities and switched from the stock hankooks to BFG KO2s. Huge difference in the snow. I almost never had to switch into 4wd. Definitely would recommend them for around here.

In winter weather (New England) I’ve had good luck with BFG KO2

Wow, I only got 30k on my Firestones and they were worn down! I went with BF Goodrich Advantage T/A just because they were on sale. So far so good.

These tires should be perfect. They provide a VERY surprising amount of grip on dry and wet roads for all season tires. I even run these tires throughout the east coast winter and they handle very well in snow and storms for all season tires.

Only cons I noticed with these tires is that they are bit more noisy and I noticed the slightest drop in mpg after putting these tires on. Tread life is bit lower than average since they are ultra high performance all season tires. I've put about 15,000 miles on them, I can probably get about another 15,000 out of them.

FYI. The K02's are great. They are however sensitive to tire pressures. I always recommend you chalk test these particular models! I am running 38psi up front and 35 in the rear. They can get very noisy if underinflated. I used them as all seasons for the year and they did extremely well in most conditions with the exception of hard packed slushy roads - just not enough grip!

When I picked up a set of wheels a few years ago, they had half life G-Force Comp-2 all seasons on them, so I just used those for half a season. 225/45/17 of those were quicker than 205/55/16 Hankook RS3 autocross tires that were probably heat cycled out but had tread left. Point is, those BFGs aren't terrible and the sidewall was stiff enough not to be rolling over.

Haven’t been a fan of my KO2’s. I’ve been having a lot of balance issues with them in the front.
