    I had 56,000 on my first set. About 10,000 on my second set so far.

    about 10,000 on a set on my tundra. My brothers got a set too.

    no issues with any of the 4 sets and they’ve been excellent across the board.

    I was also debating between the KO2s and the AT3Ws. It came down to price since my dealer was running a buy 3 get 1 free on the KO2s. I ended up getting the KO2s in 265/75/r16, E rated, "DT" version which is supposedly supposed to have a harder tread compound for longer life. Compared to the stock Wrangers, the KO2s are about 10% louder and have about 10% less mpg. They are much, much better handling offroad (dirt, rocks, sand) than the stock Wranglers. I'm running them at 39PSI as recommended by BFG. I have about 5000 miles on them and the tread depth is exactly the same as when I bought them. So hopefully the "DT" is actually doing some good. Only difference is that they are only "M+S" rated but I rarely use them in the snow. When I have gone in the snow, they are about the same as the stock Wranglers.

    Have KO2s on Tacoma, and they do great all around and on snow and ice. We have a set of Wildpeaks on an older Dodge Durango we drive, and no issues in all weather conditions. When I’m ready for new tires on Tacoma, I’ll probably look at the Falkens as they have great ratings and lots of trucks in my area use these.

    KO2s are f*cking horrific. I was sliding all over on rainy days. Switched to NRGs. No REGERTS yet.

    I just hit 40K on my WildPeak's and they still have roughly half the tread left. They've been great on snow/ice up in Yosemite/Mammoth and did really well in the desert.

    He already stated he went the better BFG's. Quit it Wildpeak bros, you don't need to anymore.

    I'm not an expert. I like my KO2s and I think they are the best-looking of all the AT tires out there, which was the 2nd most important aspect. I went with AT3 as my spare, just to save a few bucks. But I'm not jumping the truck or driving across lava or anything, so I'm not really pushing any tire toooooo hard.

    Because that is where the souls of humans go to die and drip off contaminating the asphalt in the city of angels. Even worse when it rains through the contaminated air quality.

    I have owned both, the bfg in 265/75/16 and the wildpeaks in 285/75/17... Honest opinion i cant tell a difference. I would go with whats cheaper. They both perform excellent

    Like, so many.
    @LENPro I'd like to suggest considering the Nitto Ridge Grapplers.
    Never mind. Heard you already got tires.

    Like all "this or that" threads on auto forums after reading almost all the posts - conclusion of who has the worse tire:

    We're just here to rub it in when he hits snow or mud for the first time in his KOBro's and complains.

    K02 suck major ass in all winter conditions. They are a fantastic tire at all other times of year. Very durable and quiet for what they are.
