All-Terrain T/A KO2 TIRE REVIEW

Ready for my 6th set.

Best tire I ever ran on. 75,000 miles every time (2000 GMC Sierra), no issues whatsoever. Firestone, Goodyear, Cooper can't compare. At 340,000 miles I'm ready for my next set. Anybody who bad mouths this tire has no idea!!!

Best A/T on the market!

These are the best all terrain tire on the market! As long as they are on a jeep, 1/2ton, mid size or smaller. Not the right application for a heavy 3/4ton or bigger unless you can afford to replace them yearly.

Excellent longevity and ride, handling etc.

These tires have been on my 2009 JKUR for just shy of 8 years, nearly 38,000 miles, and the tread still looks new. I live in the northernmost Sierra Nevada mountains, get a lot of rain, a little bit of snow, and 105-110°+ in the summers. Aside from around town and a whole bunch of logging and forest roads, I'm taking it on mini camping trips to the desert, to the Klamath mountains, and I camped my way up Highway 1 from Eureka to the Olympic peninsula. I've also driven it to Blaine Washington and back a few times on the highway. Also a lot of highway driving down to the southern part of the Central Coast of California and both on and off-road and at Oceano Beach down in that area many times. I have occasionally towed a 12 ft x 6 ft cargo trailer with two Harley-Davidsons or a Harley-Davidson and a Triumph down to Santa Maria and back which is an 850 mi round trip, (and Interstate 5 has absolutely horrible craters in the lanes, particularly the right lane where I'm usually located when towing). I've also towed a few different military trailers with either cargo, camping gear, or sometimes a flatbed military trailer with a single motorcycle. I've been in the habit with my past few vehicles of purchasing six wheels and tires and I do six wheel rotations and rotate them approximately every 5,000 mi. I run LT35x12.50-17R on AEV Pintler wheels on my 4.5" lifted Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited and during the listed mileage I've been running ARB Old Man Emu Sport shocks and Metalcloak true dual rate coil springs on a primarily Synergy equipped short arm system and a Dynatrac Pro Rock 44U front axle housing with RCV axles and Reid Bros. steering knuckles and Timken unit bearings, Ten Factory rear axles and CJ Tatton double cardan drive shafts. I looked at some of the one star ratings on here and read with their road, and I don't understand how they wore their tires out so quickly. Both the sidewalls and the tread on all of my tires look absolutely excellent. Being as how these are E rated tires and the OEM tires are C rated tires, I run approximately 26 psi on the street. If I'm towing a trailer, particularly if it's somewhat heavy, I bring the rear tires up to 28 or 29PSI, maybe 30 at the max. And occasionally I'll bump the front tires up a couple of pounds as well.

Like everything about them but the tread life

I bought these to put on my 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK unlimited Rubicon Recon about three years ago , they look great and drive great no problems , the road noise was minimal, good in snow, rain, sand, gravel , great on the highway only drawback is I only have about 42,000 miles on them and not much tread left , I live in the UP of Michigan where we get 300” of snow and backroad logging trail trips are frequent, so a good tire is a must .

Lasts a long time

I bought a used Hummer with used KOA2s over three years and my mechanic has told me I have about one to two years left for over three years now. Rotate and align tires often.

Just bought them, not balance properly. Need to take them back get them checked, rebalance or exchange.

The absolute best tire I have ever owned

I purchased a set of KO2 AT for my RAM 1500 back in 2017 and ran them up until 2021. They are a great tire, meaty and aggressive, low road noise and outstanding traction, wet, dry, snow & ice. I reside in the upper North East by the Canadian Border. They lasted longer than I expected, I never had a problem with them and ran them at 38 PSI. I trust these tires so much so that I am planning to put a set on my daughters TJ, because her safety is above all to me and I feel confident in this brand and product through my own personal experience. They are pricey but everything is and if your on the fence I'd say go for it. I have seen some reviews that arent great like a blow out, it happens and sometimes you just get a bad one like any product, but dont hold the basket for one bad apple. Others claiming the tread not lasting but only rotated buy there listed dates once every 3 years or were driving daily in California. It is a an AT tire, I lived in Cali once upon a time, get a street tire. Cali roads are bad, especially anywhere from LA to San Diego. Poor up keep, grooved concrete and hot. Unless your doing Baja these are not for you there. If your in an area with Class 3-4 roads this is great especially in winter where with changing road types from asphault to dirt or pact iced over, ruts, mud, sand frost heaves or snow you need confident traction no matter the terrain and these deliver based on my experiance with all. Many times it wasnt until I got where I was going before I realized I never turned the 4wd, thats how good these tires are

Fantastic tire!

Absolutely fantastic tires! No problems with these bad boys! 64,000 miles on them, and it is about time for some new ones, to be honest. Waiting for them to go on sale again before I purchase a new set for my 2018 GMC Sierra 1500. A lot of highway driving, but definitely some gravel, sand, and clay when I go up to the property or to the hunt club.

Amazing tires. Highly recommended for extreme terrain.

Amazing tires. I live in Alaska and there aren't that many places in America that will put tires to the test like driving here. Everything is extreme; sand, snow, ice, potholes, frost heave, moose. This tires handle everything. I have had them 2 years so far, and I havent had to use chains once.

Don’t last

60k miles tread is bald
