said, Any reputable AT tire will work well. Yes as pointed out the KO2 is not as good in snow as the Duratrac or a dedicated snow tire. How much is snow a factor in Kentucky???
Tire size: stay stock or the most popular next size with 285s. No wrong choice here. Watch for load rating changes from 265 to 285. No need for "e" rated for mild off roading.
I'm 10,000 miles into a set of GoodYear Ultra-terrains(265 sl rated). They are rapidly becoming my favorite tire ever. Quieter than the Duratracs, more aggressive than other AT options, and really good in snow. Snow and road noise were the most important factors for me. Ymmv if you don't live where winter is all consuming months on end.
