But I will give a warning about KO2s. I had them for about 22k in total. From new to 20k, they were fine on wet pavement. But over night at 20k they lost most traction on wet wet pavement, I’m talking under 40 mph traction. Scary stuff. Not sure if I had KO2 lemons or not but the wet traction loss at low mile usage is well documented on here if you search. After the KO2s I put on Cooper ATW (no longer made), 40k and they’ve been great. But my eye has been wandering for a more aggressive looking tire.

FWIW, I went with KO2s because I had KOs on a ‘95 Pathfinder and that combo was a tank in any condition.
