    For those of you that have used both, which is better for a replacement for the stock Goodyear All Terrain (with Kevlar) that is on the 2016 TRD OR? I had the Dyratracs on my 1999 Tacoma and loved them. The tread that wraps down the sidewall seemed to work great in mud and snow plus road noise tolerable. I have heard and read good things about the TA KO2s. My Toyota dealer will install 4 of the TA KO2s for $800 total. Said Goodrich has a special with 4th tire free. I like the stock tires but got stuck in mud that I could navigate with my '99 Tacoma with Duratracs. Thanks

    What does that mean? Sorry. Are you endorsing the KO 2?

    Realistically duratracs are a better all around tire. For Internet likes the Ko2 is better.

    Despite what a lot of people here who have never had ko2s think they are a great all around tire. That being said they are not a mud tire and are fine in mild mud, but suck in anything more than that.

    Duratracs better function and performance. KO2 looks pretty

    Duratrac's get my vote for better function too.

    Duratrac's on my GMC 2500 are pretty good, but they are getting a little noisy at about 18k. They ride nice and ride softer than the factory E rated tires.

    KO2's have been great for the first 1,000 miles on the Bro-Coma.

    Can't really go wrong, just watch the pressure, rotate and balance often.

    Duratracs are a far better tire. i have had them for the past 8 or 9 years. Buddy of mine went with the KO2's on his keep and really wishes he had spent a little more $ and gotten the duratracs

    KO2s, great tire if you actually go places.
    I should admit I'm thinking about the ST maxx
