Tires YOKOHAMA or BFGoodrich

BFG KO2s were OEM and I replaced with another set. UE came with 33"KO2s (not mudders) infused with some kind of black magic that allows them to be great off road and quiet, smooth high grip on paved roads - mine lasted more the 70k miles.

Wife's focus had the yokohoma blue earth gt, they provided good grip wet or dry....managed to outrun essex police with them on when it was stolen as well.

I’ve been on my BFGs for more than 50 and still have tread

Good luck and perhaps try nittos or bfg’s next(my bud with a trd offroad taco got 66k out of his ko2’s, which is why we are trying them on the wife’s 4rnr)

As far as tyres go, I swear by Yokohama’s.

They can be a little soft and they don’t last forever but I’ve never found the limit of grip and I have a highly modified car and drive like I stole it.

Cheap versus branded - branded will be better everytime. In a small car with little brakes you want the best contact possible.

No issues on mine, I paired them with my method racing wheel, trail series. This is on my KL.

Live in a snowy state. I've had Cooper Zeons, Goodyear Duratracs, and both KO2s and KM3s. The BFGs performed the best in winter conditions. Even with a wonky suspension during a blizzard in the high country, the KO2s did not slip up. It felt planted too. The off road performance is amazing too. Rocks getting stuck is apart of it. Tires are supposed to get dirty. The price is high, but you never want to go cheap when it comes to tires.

Only have experience with the KO2s. They’re overpriced and get quite loud as they wear and sometimes have balancing issues, especially as they wear down. But I’ll be damned they last forever.

2020 XT, I had Yoko Geolandars, now Nokian Outpost APT both 3peak rated, neither are as good as my Yoko IceGuard winter tires in snow/ice or cold weather.
