Tires Pirelli or BFGoodrich

I ended up going with the KO3 recently when my badlands tires wore down. They are noticeably better in the rain and taking quick turns without the backend slipping.

We have been very happy with our KO2s, which we got because that was the most popular used by local plow drivers and didn’t find the need to reinvent the wheel.

I've been running BFG K02s on it since I put it on the road in 2017, they are finally worn down enough that I wouldn't want to run them this winter. I've had no complaints about the K02 personally, its a solid all around-er.

Presently have these tires on my Mk7 GTI. Really like them.

I live in Lake Tahoe and I run ko3 all year round with zero issues. Highly recommend them.

My K02s have been awesome for everything I've thrown at them.

I have the Pirelli scorpion at plus 10 plys with 60 000km so far they have been very durable, good in deep snow, about as good as you can expect for an all season on ice, good in soft ground / mud, decent on the highway under 120km/h but definitely fall short of the stock Michelins AT2’s I had on the highway.

Definitely notice the added weight and stiffer ride of the 10 ply’s. Tires are wearing well and I have not been gentle on them, expect them to last 100 000+ km.

I like my Sottozeros, good grip, quiet. I also have Corsa P Zeros that I can't wait to wear out and replace with Michelins. Kudos to Pirelli for making a consumer version of an F1 tire, fantastic grip if above 70 degrees and dry, absolute garbage otherwise. Might as well be driving on hockey pucks. Also loud as hell.

My audi came with the Pirelli's and they stink in the winter. Replaced with Michelin and it was a huge difference.

The Verdes came stock on my xc90 and they were terrible in inclement weather. It was a total game changer in the rain and snow once I upgraded to the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 based on a recommendation from a friend.
