I Dont Think I Would Buy KO2s

Im running KO2. Zero issues here. Love them in fact ;-)

 

The rubber is softer so you don't quite get as much life. The grip is better because of this though. It's not a bad tire because it costs less. Walmart moves a lot of units so the savings are passed along to the customer. I've had the Duratracs and the KO2's there's no discernible differance between the three performance wise. If low price is an issue, Hankook dynapro ultra atm's are an exceptional tire yet cost a fraction of the others.

 

Would love to see the video. I have a 4x4 Sport also and only got to run minimally in snow last winter. Looking at the KO2 and hoping they hold up in snow well.

 

Picked up a nail today in my ko2s at work. They don't just grab a hold of rocks.

 

Yes post it when you have time. I'd love to see it...

On another note my KO2's been great on sand. Felt like I was floating driving on deep sand. Love them so far. Can't wait to test them in snow up in the mountains this winter...

 

Let me add them to youtube. Warning that they were taken mostly by my girlfriend who was not the best at videos. And incline usually isn't seen well on camera. But if you know switchbacks up mountains you will understand.....

 

Fixed that for ya...

Here you go. Around 3:20 your can see the angle were already at and how steep it goes a little better. Plus some bickering

This second video is coming up off the climb onto the road which was level that we were staying on. Which shows the change better.

To add. We had 18" of snow the night before

 

Very true statement as well!

 

The back pedaling starts.

In all honestly they are about average all around. Above average off road, below average on road and way above average in price. If you remove the nut swingers who buy them solely for looks and newness (which seems to be way above 50% or them) the real rating would show through...;

Throwing rocks huh?

I spy with my little eye a recently plowed road and someone who is very proud to use four wheel drive and climb a slight incline (needed to add the fogs and parking lights on for dramatic effect).

Not sure what that is trying to be proved here, unless you witnessed other tire brands try and fail the climb some street tires on open diffs (ie that Dodge) isn't a huge win.

Wtf? Are you butthurt? Recently plowed? This would be the plowed road going to the mountain.
If you didn't read other posts previous to your smug remark you would have read that I went back up for a jeep cherokee in 4wd that wasn't making it anywhere. No I didn't video that. Hard to push and video at the same time. And no i also didnt video the 3 otber vegicles i pulled out of embankments cause they were on street tire. And if you knew anything about the trucks I am in 4 hi, but my truck has no locker because it's a sport(i.e. open diffs). The only jackass that would try to climb a snow covered mountain in 2wd that has 4wd and doesn't use it for pride sake, neglecting safety, is an asshole to others and the people riding in the vehicle with him.

EDIT: if the road was plowed. It was well before my 4 day stay there in which this was day 3 and in that 3 days we had another 6 inches of snow. End of February 2016

 

I know that was snowy but in the video you said 30+ degree incline. Was that really 30+ degrees?

 

I have no idea really. No telling. It was steep enough to where plenty of people were sledding down the roads

 

I can testify that dinging your own windshield is possible. It's happened to me......... Twice.

 

There were some spots that seemed that steep. Definitely not the whole time. Idk excitement definitely was getting me. I wasn't expecting the conditions of getting to the cabin because I booked the place online.

 

It's hard to tell what degree it is in snow when you take vids or pix. When I go boarding my pix and vids don't look as steep as they do in person.

 

What kinnda life (mileage wise) are people getting with the k02s.
