Of those are the only two tires your considering, then Nittos hands down. I ran one pair of KO2s… that was the first and last time I’ll run BFGs. Never had an issue with Nittos.
Nitto in load range E. I have probably 350k miles on multiple sets and never had a flat and I've been from the Arctic ocean to Mexico and everywhere between. Damn near bullet proof.
Ran Ko2s on my last rig (xterra) and running ridge grapplers on my current (tundra). Ko2 handle great overall. Never had an issue with them except road noise. I find the Ridge Grapplers are great overall, except snow. They suck in the snow.
It comes wrapped with a new-ish set of Nitto Nomaf Grappler size 235/60-18 excellent for a Q3 or Q5 fitment. Nitto tires made in the USA and are mild A/T tires. Has 3PMSF certification. Only driven less than 3000 miles before deciding to go full 20” on my Q5.
I have the Hankook ION EVO on my M3 and they are a great smooth efficient tire, they now have 6k miles on them and no signs of wear yet.
For those in the market for new tires I just put a set of the Hankook ion evo tires on the X and they are INCREDIBLE. Before throwing these tires on I was definitely of the "there's no way these foam tires are going to make a differnce" school of thought. I'm a believer.
Hankook Winter i*cept RS for 128€/tyre is reasonable and work well in snow.
Go for the Hankooks. That's a big price hike for not *that* much more tire.
my wife hates the tires .the m+s is horrible in the snow.
There is a chance they worked better in very hot climate but in the mild Pacific North West they didn’t perform well. Half the performance for half price. Once I switched to Michelins all traction problems went away.
