Time for Tires---KO'2s Currently - Stock Size

[grinchy]

90 percent pavement.Thanks

That's Michelin Defender territory, if you can get over the passenger tire sidewall look.

Agree on the Duratrac comments.

Could also consider the Kenda Klever R/T, which is very Duratrac like in tread pattern but a more recent compound and 3 ply sidewalls. That's what I just bought, but I don't have any mileage on them yet to say if they're great or not. I suspect they will be . . .

Duratracs seem to be a good option for an AT with winter driving chops. I liked mine and they seem to have the best reviews of all the A/Ts in the snow. Some sizes are also studable if that matters. My only gripe with the ones I had, was that they didn't wear as evenly as I would have liked, but that may have been due to a variety of factors unrelated to the tires themselves.

2nd this. I had a bad run with KO2s that I ran on different trucks for years including my 200. Switched to Duratracs and have 0 regrets.

There are literally thousands of threads on this forum about tire choices - especially KO2 which is a common choice for aftermarket and some OEMs. Do you have specific questions?

Seconded.

How do people come to this section and assume they are the first with questions about tires? Or even the tenth?

Normally I dislike popup banners but we need a f***ing huge one that says simply "SEARCH"

so fortunately it isnt either of your call what is appropriate or not appropriate. If someone has a question they should feel to post it and if you think it has been answered then skip the thread. your posts are counterproductive here so please refrain from doing that any more

It is a choice you can make to ignore

One time I am sure you asked a question that someone could have skewered you on, I know I have

for the OP, your first post could have been more clear on specific questions. Frankly if you are running KO2's I dont know why your would change to any of the others as they are all equivalent with each having its own plus/minuses.

I personally run Toyo AT3's but I would Keep KO2s if I had them mounted already with plenty of tread left

are you saying that you need new tires and are looking for what to replace them with? If so then you will get 10 different opinions and they will all likely be right from each persons perspectives. You want a good quality tire and once you get in that group it comes down to personal preference

For me, with abysmal MPGs with my aging KO2, i am looking at Michelin Defender in stock size as replacement over the next 6-9 months.

BTW when I am agonizing over tires I look at Tirerack and read their reviews. They helped me pick good tires for the Z4

Point taken - but I did ask OP if they had a specific question. Not sure what offense you are referring to. Regardless, @Bendcruiser, apologies if I came across as a troll on the internet. I promise, I'm alright in real life.

You are allright

Asking if they have specific questions or clarifying the question is fine

Beating on someone for not using search isn't. Lots of 200 series owners are new and not haggered like the 40's owners (Hey I have a 40) and we want to be welcoming
