KO3’s? What’s you favorite AT tire?

[Cumby]

It’s new tire time. Was thinking of trying the KO 3 when it gets here. Anybody loyal to any another AT tire that I should look at?

I suggest getting the weight of your candidate tires. Heavy tires can take more severe punishment, but make acceleration slower, give a harsher ride, lower gas mileage, brakes wear faster, and may require upgraded shocks. And are you considering "P" rated or " LT" tires?

I've got Terra Grappler G2s on mine and no real complaints, but I've driven my BILs F150 with K03s. I didn't get to test them offroad seriously, but zero issues with dirt or pavement. They were even fairly quiet which was nice. Snow performance was alright, but not on part with a full on snow tire. I can't really compare the gas mileage either since that was a modern pickup and not a 20 year old suv lol.

For a lot of people the k03 is gonna be a great default tire, especially if the offroad performance is as good as the last gen.

I have the KO3s, they have been fantastic. The increased mud and snow traction is definitely noticeable, mpg gains from ko2s onroad, are super quiet and easy to balance out as well. Would recommend, ask me if you have any specific questions on them
