I Dont Think I Would Buy KO2s

They're some serious rock kickers. Every time I turn onto pavement, quarter size rocks are flying all over. One actual flew up onto my damn windshield somehow.

Those and duratracs are both popular buys on the company rigs. Duratracs do not do that.

This explains it all.

 

Most all terrains will kick rocks bud, my toyo open countries did too. I've never had an issue with my ko2s what the hell were you doing to kick rocks up on your windshield? That or your tires stick way out of the fender.

 

Just accelerating normally. Two separate trucks.

Never experienced such bad rock kick up before. And all I do is drive on logging roads. It was just this year they started putting ko2s on some off the new rigs.

Like I said. Duratracs are also popular.they don't do it.

 

Boy, I sure like mine - 265/70/17 - C rated.
On road are fine. Quiet and smooth, balanced well.
On construction sites no problem.
Will be in Baja shortly.

 

I run ko2s and I don't have any issues like that. In fact, I don't have any issues with them period. BF Goodrich makes an amazing tire

Just odd as my ko2s have been the best aftermarket tire on all my tacos, I've had coopers and 2 versions of nittos, these are the best so far.

 

I had both on my last taco. The only real differance was the BF's had a better tread life. That being said, I currently have Goodyear athorities.

 

Im not saying they are a shitty tire. I should have explained that initially. But, other good all terrains imo don't kick up rocks like those do. That's just my experience.

 

I've really liked the performance of duratracs in the past although I've had some balancing issues with them. I may give the KO2 a try next just to see what all the fuss is about. (Once they fix the rear differential issues that is)

 

If you are interested in the Goodyear, check these out. I love em.

BFG KO2s are some of the best tires out there for our rigs.

 

Awesome. Must mean they don't throw rocks.

 

I had factory Toyo and now have KO2s and I have had both do it. Nothing major just some under cab thumping. I guess since it happened with the Toyos I didn't think anything about it.. I love them so far and ride better than expected.

 

I've ran KOs, Duratracs, and now KO2s. I would rate them in that order worst to best. Haven't noticed any one tire kicking more rocks than another. They all throw them. It's a fair tradeoff for me considering their winter and trail performance

 

Not a big fan of the KO2's (or the original KO's for that matter), we have the KO2's on our F250 and they're not impressive anywhere.

 

What don't you like about them?

 

They're less than impressive on road and not impressive at all off road.
Very easy to slide when wet, they don't clean out mud well (Until you start driving on blacktop), they don't feel as stable as the rugged terrains (last tire on the truck) when towing, and they don't grip as well when braking (noticeable when towing).
