    I have 285/75/16 KO2s and finally got to hit some mud last night just behind the house it's soupy mud in a recently tilled field and we've had about an inch or 2 of rain and these tires did just as expected and I never lost momentum even stopped in 2wd to switch to 4wd and never had a problem gettin going and pulled right off don't think I ever got down to hard ground but never need to the tires just kept the truck moving only thing I do wish is that the truck was a little to heavier but it's a taco oh well love the tires! Great highway driving for an aggressive AT and they can be rough for about 2 miles on a cold morning till they warm up. Great tire

    Nice to read the evaluation, and NO, I'm not a member of the grammar or punctuation police, even though my Mother was a Jr. High English teacher. We had that drilled into us constantly!
    I'm looking to replace my current BFG A/T KO tires with the KO2s eventually.

    Have not run my KO2's in any mud yet, only roads and snow. They've been great so far, thanks for the feedback on the mud performance.

    Anybody know if they would run alot better or worse with a little pressure in the mud? They are at 36 psi on all 4.

    Any pictures of your mud field? Id be curios to see what you played around in. Plus pictures are always fun. Most claims I've heard so far say their KO2's don't fair to well in mud, soupy deep mud being the biggest challenge. Glad to hear a positive review though because I want these tires bad
