    What are some all terrains that have aggressive sidewalls? I am wanting to steer away from hybrid tires and trying to stick with all terrains.

    4 run, 2 don't
    My Falken Wildpeaks were mildly aggressive, but my Cooper ST Maxx look even better.

    I'd say either of the two.

    Skip the Kbro2s

    Ridge grapplers are a pretty aggressive A/T and have served me well so far. Off-road I like them better than my KO2s and have yet to drive in the rain with them but, I found myself nearly crashing into things with my KO2s when the roads were wet, I wouldn't touch them with a 10ft pole.

    I'm looking for new tires as well. My KO2s were good when they were new but now have about 52,000 miles on them and I notice they tend to lose their grip on wet roads when turning or on exit ramps. Definitely choose something other than the KO2s.

    Same and mine wouldn't balance for crap, don't think the side walls did anything for me off road because I got stuck with them more than I did with my original KO's.

    I say get some cooper STT Maxx tires, loving these so far, WAY better off road, much better on road, quieter too.

    Goodyear Duratracs have knobby sidewalls. When aired down to 15-17 psi, the sidewall flattens and the sidewall lugs contact the ground for extra traction:

    In 7 years I have never had an issue with KO2s in the wet on the road, I do like the ST maxx but its heavy and unless you going hard in the bush its overkill.
    Over in the STT Pro thread guys there said that the Pro was smoother than the Maxx.
    The KO2 is a good all round tire, tough, light weight for C load, and looks good. Lots run Duratracs, again you can get them in C so lighter weight.

    You definitely use them for what they were made for!

    +1. The Duratracs look real good on a 3rd gen and have never let me down. Snow, sand, mall parking lots, etc.

    Nitto ridge grapplers, but I think they’re hybrid tires.

    Technically I think they are still an A/T they are just a very aggressive one. I really like them
