KO2 vs KO3 Tires

This is a very comprehensive video on the differences between the BFG KO2 and the new KO3. What I found most interesting was the explanation of the KO2s wet road performance. A fair number of people on this forum have complained about the KO2s poor wet road performance. It seems BFG has made changes to the KO3 to fix this problem.

I've had two sets of KO2 on my 04 z71 Suburban and never had any wet traction issues, not one. I attribute this to weight among other things, I've never had BFg on my 4runner, but maybe because it's lighter it tends to behave differently in wet conditions. I don't know. I'm running mud tires on it now.
I'd like to hear some opinions on the Ko2 on this forum from folks who run them on a vehicle other than their 4runner.

I heve a set of KO2 on my 4runner and also never had any wet traction issues but I can't say I was happy with them...

They wore out really quickly and the service basically does not exist and they do not care about warranty.

Im now on Mickey Thompson BAJA BOSS A/T and for me this is another level, sooo much better

I purchased a 2004 Jeep Wrangler and it came with the KO2's and they rode very well for tires that needed to be replaced. I debated for a month on which tire to replace them with, the KO2, or the Goodyear Wranglers Duratrac's. I finally went with the Goodyear's for only one reason, I liked the name Wranglers on the tires, because they were going on my Wrangler. I will say they are very quiet and I'm happy with them. Note I do not off road my Jeep, just a TOY for Sunday driving. I thought the KO3's were a more aggressive tire over the KO2's, which usually means not as good on wet roads.

Had KO2's on my old F150 and loved them. Was looking to pick up a new set for my newer truck, but opted to go with Wrangler Ultraterrains instead. I had a set of Duratracs on previously and loved them until they started wearing - then they were loud and uncomfortable. Apparently the Ultraterrains don't suffer from that problem who know. Will probably pick up some KO3's on my 3rd Gen 4Runner when I'm due for a new set of shoes.
