Tire reviews & comparisons

Ozmen

Hi Folks. I'm Ozmen, and I work as a tire designer. I understand finding a tire isn't easy, as there are so many variables involved. But with me around, tire selection would never bother you again.

BF Goodrich KO2

Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T vs BF Goodrich KO2

Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T is although more aggressive in comparison it still manages to provide better grip on wet roads in comparison. And at the same time, it shines in most of the off-road terrains, including rocks. But what really impresses you about this tire is its winter traction. The BF Goodrich KO2 on the other side, provides superior dry grip (on roads, but lacks in wet), a better fuel and tread economy, and a superb ride quality (where most of it comes form noise dampening).

BF Goodrich KO2 All-Terrain T/A

Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 3 vs BF Goodrich KO2

The Bridgestone Dueler Revo 3, is a better daily driver, as it offers greater on-road grip in both wet and dry conditions. Moreover, it also features superior fuel economy, tread life and comfort levels. Though it can't outperform the BF Goodrich KO2 when it comes to all sorts of rugged terrains, but is still great however with sand.

BF Goodrich KO2 All-Terrain T/A

Mickey Thompson Deegan 38 AT vs BF Goodrich KO2

I have basically compared apples and oranges here, on one end, there's a very aggressive and popular tire, the BF Goodrich KO2, providing you with undoubtedly, amazing traction on all sorts of off-road tracks. The tire is also pretty great with fuel and tread life, and in terms of comfort and wet traction, although it loses a few marks, it makes up for it with it's dry performance. On the other side, the Deegan A/T features a better performance on both dry and wet roads, and the tire is great with fuel, and gives slightly better tread life. Though it could use some winter traction.

BF Goodrich KO2 All-Terrain T/A

BF Goodrich KO2 vs Hankook Dynapro ATM

The Hankook Dynapro ATM is although not such a great tire on wet roads, compared to KO2, it still provides better traction capabilities. And on dry pavements, that is seen prominently. That's why you get higher speed rating with this tire. Moreover, the tire also provides better fuel economy, tread life and a comfortable ride, though lacks in winter traction. BF Goodrich KO2, on the other side, provide amazing off-road traction, where on-road, you'd be impressed with it's noise dampening abilities, and snow traction.

BF Goodrich KO2 All-Terrain T/A

Atturo Trail Blade XT vs BF Goodrich KO2

Atturo Trail Blade XT is a very nice overall tire. It provides better wet traction (on pavements), and a better overall comfort. And off-road the tire is one of the best to get for sandy terrains. BF Goodrich KO2 on the other side, provides better dry handling performance with it's superior steering response, and although it lacks in wet, its sipes are very effective on winter terrains. Moreover, off-road the tire is a champ, especially on rocks.

BF Goodrich KO2 All-Terrain T/A

Kenda Klever AT2 vs BF Goodrich KO2

Let me summarize things here quickly. Out of both tires, the Kenda Klever does better with wet roads, fuel economy, tread life, and witner traction. Whereas, on BFG KO2, you get a superior mud and rocky terrain traction, basically a majority of off-road terrains, except for sand. And on-roads, it renders superior dry traction as well.

BF Goodrich KO2 All-Terrain T/A

Mickey Thompson Baja Legend EXP vs BF Goodrich KO2

Mickey Thompson Baja Legend EXP is although not a great tire to have on-roads, it really shines on rugged terrains on nearly all sorts of surfaces (expect for rocks). BF Goodrich KO2 on the other hand, does better with dry and wet traction (though overall it's wet grip is nothing to praise for) Moreover, you also get superior winter performance, fuel economy and tread life with the tire as well.

Falken Wildpeak AT3w

Pro Comp AT Sport vs Falken Wildpeak AT3w

Out of both the Falken Wildpeak AT3w provides you with a superior wet grip, and a comfortable ride on pavements, whereas on rugged terrains, it's nearly better in almost all of them, as ti features a more open design with a lot of tread depth. On the other side, the Pro Comp AT Sport is better on dry roads, provides better fuel economy and tread life and it's durability is almost on part with it's counterpart providing 3 ply sidewalls, so it's not too far off on tougher tracks off-road.

Falken Wildpeak AT3w

Mickey Thompson Baja Legend EXP vs Falken Wildpeak AT3w

So out of both tires, off-road Wildpeak AT3w provides you better sand traction and grip on gravely roads, and on roads, you get an enhanced traction on both dry and wet pavements, slightly better tread life, better fuel efficiency, and overall comfort. On the other side, the Mickey Legend EXP gives you a good traction on highways, but only when things are dry, though off-road the tire is a beast, conquering rocky and muddy terrains like a pro. Though despite having all season compound it lacks on snowy terrains, and it makes sense why it's not rated with sever winter ratings like its competitor.

Goodyear Wrangler Ultraterrain AT

Goodyear Ultraterrain AT vs Falken Wildpeak AT3w

So we have learned here that the Goodyear Ultraterrain features a structure which is better on dry road (especially when it comes to steering response), fuel economy, winter traction (lighter terrains only), and off-road does a better job when it comes to gravely roads. Wildpeak AT3w on the other side, is great on wet roads, provides superior comfort, and a quieter ride, and is a great pick for rocks, sand and mud, as it offer bigger groove mouth.

Toyo Open Country AT3

Toyo Open Country AT3 vs Kenda Klever AT2

Toyo Open Country AT3 provides you with better dry performance, and tread life on pavements, and on rugged tracks, it brings better traction on rocks. Kenda Klever AT2 on the other side, features a supple tread compound which yields superior wet and winter traction. And the tire's lighter weight also allows it to be great for sand climbing and fuel efficiency.

Toyo Open Country AT3

Toyo Open Country AT3 vs Goodyear Wrangler Ultraterrain AT

Let me close this up by explaining both on and off-road performance. So on roads, the Toyo AT3 does better on dry roads, provides you with better tread life, and is quieter off the two, whereas the Goodyear UltraTerrain provides better fuel economy, and wet + winter grip. Off-road besides sand traction, where Toyo AT3 has an upper hand, the Ultraterrain takes care of the rest in a better way.
