Tires Toyo or BFGoodrich
Had ko2's on my 03 outback and for the 3k miles it had them, they still looked brand new
I tried Toyo snow and ice once and they were probably the best snow & ice tires I’ve ever had.
I put TOYO Observe G3-Ice on my Tacoma last winter. I live in the middle of nowhere on the other side of the country and they were great.
Toyo Observes have the best traction on snow and ice of any non-studded tire. They're impregnated with crushed walnut shells, which act as mini studs. As a result they're noisy on dry pavement. But if traction is your top priority they can't be beat.
I have been really happy with my BFG HD Terrains. Picked them up from eBay as a set of takeoffs in practically new condition. Great on and off road.
I got new shoes as well over the weekend. I have the sports package and went with 255/60r19 Toyo Open Country AT3.
I have 70k on them and probably another 5k to go but I do have 5 tires total in rotation. The K02s are pretty quiet on road and perform well enough when offroading in the Sierras. Almost zero time in snow though.
MFD date of 2014 for my Toyos on my G. I think they aren’t bad, for the price
with the balancing issues on the KO3 I decided to switch it up this year.
BF Goodrich A/T are - IMO - dangerous on wet tarmac. Not bad, dangerous. I have 2 UAZ Hunter cars... On BFG during just 4kkm already had a few very bad slips in curves and a collision, when I could not stop the car in a traffic jam on 2nd gear (ABS grinding like on ice... In may!). Not to mention the previous owner slipped and hit a tree on these. Same cars, same driver. BFG are very bad on wet road and I mean real bad... Dangerous.
