The second pic totally gives off a Zen vibe.
The KO2s are good tires; my father-in-law runs them on his duramax. Am running STT Pros. Both tires have been great in the snow.
We are usually together in the specific use case driving both of our desire for chains: northern az clay-like mud. Both of our tires get clogged up and we both slip around the trails - which have steep ruts on both sides.
The one neighbor up there we know who goes where he pleases when he pleases, and pulls out dozens of unfortunate travelers each season, runs swampers on a lifted and locked Cummins. He has seen the mud up there clog even the best mud rated tires and lead to well outfitted rigs needing his assistance.
Rather than run swampers, I am rather keen on trying to figure out how to run hard service chains up front (rear is easy).
This is a fairly extreme and likely unique use case; perhaps it hasn't been actively pursued on the forum yet. To your point, there are a lot of variables at play to "fiddle" with. I'll contact Slee and some others to see what they say and report back.
