The AT3 doesn't appear to be any more or less aggressive than the KO2. Both look like they would be fine except in mud.
I'm in the market for new tires as well...from the research I've done I think it's worth it to pay a little extra for the KO2s...Actually it's almost the same price if you go through Sam's Club or something like that as opposed to buying the Falkens from TiresPlus because TiresPlus charges so much for the install and insurance on the tire where at Sam's it's all included at $15/tire install charge.
So spend a bit extra now and save later...also depends where you are and what you're using it for.
I would say the Cooper ST Maxx is an AP tire All Purpose or a big lugged AT. It's a great tire.

Get ready to regear on anything more than 33s. It really again depends what you are using it for. That decides everything I think but it's hard to stay disciplined when big tires and a big lift just looks so rad!love this picture! Are those 35's, or bigger?
Looks like it's all about preference as there are a few very good options. Friends that I wheel with have Duratracs, BFG MT's, BFG KO's, so I almost want to try something different
Think I'm leaning towards the KO2's, and it's a wash between the Cooper ST Maxx & the Falken WildPeak AT3W!
This next thought has been at the back of my mind, but I almost don't want to askHow many of you running 35's have run 37" tires and gone back to 35's? If so, I would like to know the reason. Everyone says a bigger tire is better for off roading, but there seem to be so many downsides to it... possibly needing stronger axles/birfields, rubbing, needing a taller lift (I'm currently at @3.5"), needing to re-gear (I'm currently on stock gearing), etc.
Regearing for 35s isnt necessarily a requirement. That being said, I have 4.88s with my 35s and absolutely love the combo. Drove around on stock gears and 35s for a few months beforehand though and while the truck did feel sluggish, it wasnt undriveable.Get ready to regear on anything more than 33s.

It’s time for new tires, and I want to stay with an AT tire as I use the truck for family trips, and I prefer a quieter ride down the highway. I do enjoy some tougher trails, so want to make sure that I try and get the most suitable tire.
Is there anything better in an AT configuration, but is more aggressive off road than the BFG KO2? The tire size I’m getting is 315-75-16.
