Tires NITTO or BFGoodrich
I love every set of nittos I’ve owned
Was at this overlanding event once and a guy was drilling into his Nitto spare to demonstrate how to plug. He was getting a workout in somewhat cold weather trying to *drill* into his Nitto.
I ran the Nittos on my Gladiator from day 1 to about 28k miles. Great tire, never had any issues or punctures. Survived Rubicon and the 7 hour drive back immediately after. Not the greatest in snow, but I've had worse in the past on other vehicles, lower air pressure can help this.
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.
I’m running 265/70/17 (123 load) K03 on my 4Runner and I’ve been pleased with washboard performance (2mi of sort on my commute). They do like to chuck rocks more than the AT3W (not sure how the AT4W is). Rain performance has been great here in Maine. Haven’t had enough snow yet
I never had a puncture on multiple sets of KO2's.
I bought KO2s because of the hype, 2 sets of them actually. And found them to be very mediocre in anything but dry dirt/rock. They have worn very well but on and offroad performance hasn't blown my hair back.
I've tried Nitto's twice and hated them both times. The compound is horrible and traction sucks.
I just replaced Ridge Grapplers on my 2020 Ram 1500. Worst tire I ever had. They were horrible on wet pavement, packed snow and ice.
