Tires BRIDGESTONE or BFGoodrich

The traction is one aspect but proven durability off road is hard to put a value on. K02s have eaten some ugly road.

2k miles in and I love them. 1-1.5mpg decrease from the stock OEM tires.

I have KO2s and they’ve worked great for me.

KO3s are way better than KO2s. Much better in wet and snow. I love mine.

I have Bridgestone Dueler AT Ascents on my Ram Rebel and like them a lot.

I recommend the Bridgestone Blizzak. They are studless snow tires. Instead of medal studs, they embed a series of really firm rubber 'studs' into the softer rubber of the tire. They work just as well as metal studded tires, but don't chew up the road or make the annoying noise that the metal studs.

I love the bridgestone potenza RE-71RS

Definitely a bit less grip in the dry than the 215 PS4s, but they're actually usable in the cold, solid in the wet, and at least passable in the snow. I'm not sure how much of the change in handling is down to the taller sidewall and narrower tire, and how much is the tire compound itself.

Bridgestone Potenza RE92 are great on dry pavement; but they are a scary ride with RWD on wet, snowy, or icy pavement.

Long ago my first new set of tires were BFG Trail T/A in 33/12.50/15 for my old IH. With less than 5k miles sidewall deteriorated on one tire. Another on opposite corner broke or slipped a belt.
