Tires MICHELIN or BFGoodrich

Pilot sport 4s's. Love em but a bit pricey.

Both are really good tires, but the DWS are definitely giving up some warm weather performance in exchange for some limited cold weather usage (they are not going to replace a full-on snow tire). I live in the south, so that trade-off would not be worth it on my R--I freaking love the wet/dry grip of the PS4s, it is better than the PSS (which was a great tire in its own right).

If you are choosing between those two only, KO2 hands down. Had probably 5 sets and have always been happy with them. One of my go to tires for any 4x4 vehicle for everyday driving. Great handling in all conditions, sand dunes, mud, trails etc. Keep them rotated regularly and you will have good treadlife.

I put new KO2s on my ‘15 4Runner in Kansas in 2017. Moved to VA, then last year hauled a fully loaded 6x12 5000 miles up to Alaska via Texas. Drove on them all last winter and all this summer. Still plenty of tread life and no issues yet pushing 70,000 miles later after driving in just about every condition imaginable.

I have K02 and love them, they look bad as hell too with the sidewall treads

I went with KO2’s. Biggest decider was white letters.

Had ko2s for a good 40k miles before I had to get a new set. Love em.

I have KO2’s and love them!

I’d be wary of those defenders, I’ve had a good bit of customers come back with some discomfort and road noise from those tires.

They are trash.
