KO2 or Kumho MT51

These are my only two options right now here in Beirut, Kumho being 760 dollars and KO2 being 1270.

kO2 made in 2021 the Kumho made in 2019

which is a better tire? Which would y’all pick?

thank you.

 

I had the MT51's on my 4Runner. I liked them. They were a little noisy but so was the truck itself so I didn't care. They had good traction. Did alright in rain. I did consider them for my Tacoma but went Toyo ATIIII'S for better on road driving. I have never had KO2's.

 

Awesome.

so they were ok on road rain?

 

Yes, I would say they were ok. We get lots of rain. They would slip a bit in rain and snow. Typical of any tire that doesn’t have any siping in the tread. On dry they were great. I can't say anything about longevity though. Only had them for about 2 years. Then gave them to my brother-in-law when the engine failed for the third time on the truck. He just used them to upsell his truck.

 

ok great, thanks. I think I’ll get them I like the price on them.

 

Ok I got the Kumhos. Love them so far.

 

Hmmmm … how did you end up in Lebanon from Texas??

Sounds like a great adventure!

 

basically I left for work in Italy/saudi arabia, my parents live in lebanon so I shipped my truck there to keep it at their house. Yeah it’s been wild here, especially steer the Beirut explosion.

 

Wow! Must be popular with the only Tacoma out there.

 

theres a lot of 1st and 2nd gens but maybe 10 third gens. Mines definitely the best one lol. I’m constantly stopped by people asking if they can buy it.
