    They still make the original KO’s? I thought the KO2’s replaced them.

    Anyways, here’s a thread to a member who did exactly what you’re looking for on the original KO’s:

    What you said. Only choice is K02 in that tire. If you find a set of KOs they prob old as hell.

    You have lots of other choices. I ain't saying the KO2's are a bad tire, but I am saying they are over rated and over priced.

    I will say the KO2's are a BAD tire. :stirthepot:

    Hated mine.

    My Coopers are better in every way but now Cooper is owned by GoodYear who is already crappening the Cooper brand so going to have to try something new next go round.
