BFG's KO2 or Falken Wildpeak AT3W

KO2 owner here .... get falkens or I will hunt you down and destroy your truck....or I could always play the long game and left the KO2s destroy you from within ....

 

Same debate on TTE. Must be the same guy maybe lol. Anything but bfg in my opinion

 

Falkens, I’ve had both and my falkens perform better in snow/mud/pavement/everything.
KO2’s also didn’t hold a balance very well. The only plus side is that they look cool with the white letters out- can’t beat that classic BFG style lol.

Plus I got a set of 285/75’s for $660 at discount tire direct....
I paid $1k for the 265/75 ko2’s on my old 2nd gen because I didn’t know any better back then.

 

I’ll take falkens! Haha

 

You’re going against the official tire of TW be careful lol

 

Thanks all for the input! Falkens will likely be my choice!

 

Neither! Cooper AT3 XLT all the way! Amazing on road characteristics, wet grip, and grip off road.

 

I just got the Falkens and I can say that they definitely perform well in wet conditions. We know wet here in Oregon.

 

Yep I’m up in Washington state so we get a lot of rain.

 

Oh yeah you know too then. One of my buddies has ko2’s and hasn’t been too thrilled with them

 

Wildpeaks

 

I’ve had my KO2s for about 20k on and off-road dirt, rock, mud , snow, ice and have had zero issues!

 

How do the Falkein Wildpeaks compare to Nitto Ridge Grapplers?

 

The grapplers are probably alittle better, but the price difference is what pushed me towards the Falkens

 

Yah thats kinda how im leaning. I like way the ridge grapplers look and they seem to be a little more aggressive than the wildhawks, but are they $250 better?

Ive heard nothing but people complaining about the KO2s needing excessive balancing so those are out for me. I just need to make up my mind. I wish i knew when Nitto was having a sale.

 

An update: i got the Wildpeak AT/3s and the next day drove up to Tahoe in the middle of a blizzard. It dumped 6-10 feet ovet the days we were up there. The tires exceeded my expectations by a long shot. The grip and control is absolutely insane. There were all types of conditons i took it through: ice, slush, chattering crud, 2 ft of powder. The tires were flawless in every scenario. The truck didnt get squirley or slip even once outside of my parkinglot powder doughnut/drift session, and even then i really had to make an effort to break the tires loose.

 

I made the same trip in the same conditions and the wildpeaks held up well in the snow. Great tires for a great price!

 

Hey, I'm looking at the Falkens & am also in the pnw. Did you get them in the P or LT?

 

you guys sold me, was a KO2 fan boy, but for the money i cant help but try them out

 

Just recently got a set of Wildpeaks. Other than the noticeable gas mileage drop due to a bigger tire, noise is almost none existent. Ride is almost stock a bit stiffer. For the money I love em. Only reasons I didn’t go Ko2 was couldn’t find them in P rated and cost.
