In my experience, KO3's are a superior tire.
Are you staying with a 30 x 9.50 R15?
Another option would be a 33 x 9.50 R15 Kenda Klever RT if you want same width but taller.
For a 30 x 9.50, the Falken Wildpeak AT4W or Firestone Destination XT are both good options.

Another new option for a 30
Another new option for a 30 x 9.50 is the Yokohama Geolandar AT4. The lightest option is the Firestone I believe while the Falken is quite heavy (9lb per tyre heavier, 35lb vs 44lb) but a good option for overland vehicles and rough terrain in remote areas. The Yokohama is around 36.5lb.
Are you willing to go to 31x10.5? That would open up a lot of options, everything from highway tyres to basically tractor tyres.
