Appreciate the super thoughtful response. Makes total sense why you picked that tire - I’m in the same boat!

Jetboy replied to the thread So I think the Michelin Defender is the perfect all-terrain tire... (For most of us).The KO3 probably is a bit tougher. I just haven't seen it make a difference in my own experiences. I haven't had a sidewall failure on the Michelins and haven't seen one on a KO3 either. So, the KO3 might be tougher - I just haven't had any...

A bit noisier and tend to track a little less well on the highway. My experience is that the KO3 isn't meaningfully better offroad. Side by side I think they're very comparable on the trail. The KO3 claims to be a...

Jetboy replied to the thread So I think the Michelin Defender is the perfect all-terrain tire... (For most of us).Yeah. Seems like most manufacturers avoid those taller skinnier tires in the USA.

Jetboy replied to the thread So I think the Michelin Defender is the perfect all-terrain tire... (For most of us).I'm about a year into a new set of Defender 2s on my tundra in 295/70/18 size. I had the same Defender in a P275/60/18 prior. One thing I noticed is that the LT version is worse on snow and ice. I expected them to be very similar, but it was a...

Took the family out to the mountains for the 4th. MY dogs hate fireworks so much. It's a great excuse to get lost for a few days. And finally got to use my new Ironman awing and screenroom. Love this thing, easy setup/take down. Although, I...
