Theyre still my favorite looking tire. Ran them on my f250 and they did not last long. terrible chipping and chunking. YMMV obviously, a truck with 1000ft lbs is a bit harder on tires than our "minivans"

Don’t get them. When I bought my 4Runner the tires came with it. The first time I drove them after a good down pour they slipped on me several times in a turn, one almost got me into an accident. Tires were half worn. I got rid of them after that and bought some KO2s. I’ve been using the KO &KO2 the last 20 years and never had a problem. However, several people on this forum said they performed poorly in wet weather. I never had a problem with them in the rain. The new KO3 have bigger gaps in the tread to help improve driving on wet roads.

Don’t get them. They are horrible in wet weather. When I bought my 4Runner these were the tires that came with it. The first time I drove after a big down pour the tire slid on me several times, always when turning, one almost got me in an accident. Tires were about half worn. I quickly got rid of them and replaced them with the KO2. I’ve been running KO & KO2 for the last 20 years and never had a problem. However, some forum members said they experienced poor performance in wet weather. I personally never experienced this even in heavy rain. Anyway, the new KO3 have a wider tread to improve wet road performance.

Thanks. I've always thought more tread on the road would provide better traction. But bigger gaps for better control. ?? I've had wet weather issues also. That's why I'm looking into a different tire.

Generally, yes. But one of the biggest factors for traction is the rubber compound used, and the sipes -- the tiny cuts in the blocks of rubber. The sipes add edges that can grab the road better.

Some use a hard rubber compound to have the tires wear longer, but that makes them slippery in the wet. Sometimes its a balancing act, but some manufactures are better than others, or they may a proprietary rubber compound not available to others.

I have a friend who has done a lot of wheeling (lives out of his 4runner most of the year) and he has them and doesn’t like them. 2 sidewall punctures in 6 months. Never had one with any other tire. But that’s just the one guy I know with them

Thumbs up New Nokian Outpost n-AT

I've tried many top tier manufactures and find the new Alabama Nokian Plant is making a new Nokian Outpost n-AT - Great Wet weather, noise, vibration, road handling. Wet traction (my Summer Tires) braking is the challenge.
Overall: 10/10 in all ways. Replaced OEM Nitros

I have cooper at3 4s that i've put oh 40-some-odd thousand miles on so far and still have a ton of tread left (they are starting to sing a bit now). snowflake rated, good in rain, and they have been excellent in the light off roading I've done

I'm about to replace my 265/70 KO2s. They have 60k miles on them, still look new with plenty of tread but boy are they getting loud now.
I loved them new and they've treated us well in every aspect, including water. I'll probably replace them with the KO3s.

I’m waiting for the same size in KO3’s but I’m not sure when they will release that size . C’s for sure but no E for me .

I bought my second set of Kenda Klever R/T for around 750 for 4 of eBay. I buy premium tires for the fleet I look after at work ie, K02's Wildpeaks, and Opencountrys. Specifically with Toyo open country A/T's, I have noticed poor performance in mud as expected with an A/T.

I digress The Kendas that I have purchased have been nothing but excellent. They balance well, have close to zero Road noise, and last a long time, especially for the price.

As I said I have nothing but great things to say about these tires and I encourage you to consider these before paying much more for a set of name-brand tires.

Hope this helps.
