2017 Limited. Needs tires. OEM Michelins or KO2's

^This^

I just replaced my KO2's with Michelins. The best way I can think of to describe the KO2 is its like wearing a pair of heavy, stiff, work boots. Now if you need heavy, stiff tires then they are a good tire. Mine were about 56K miles old when I replaced them. If winter weren't coming I'd guess they might be good for another 10K summer miles, BUT they were terrible tires for snow and ice in their worn down state. (Not that they were ever that great in the slippery stuff)

I thought about getting an aggressive looking tire to replace them, but in the end I went with function over form. The Michelins IMO are a better all around tire than the KO2's and to my surprise I quite like how they look. (which makes no sense because they are nothing special to look at) I wouldn't recommend the KO2's unless you're going off-road a lot.

 

I have a 96' Tacoma SR5, I've only had BFG KO's on it. 12" snows were no problem for this tire. But, if you plan on not traveling in deep snow and staying on the pavement, go with the LTX's for a quieter ride.
