BF Goodrich KO2 All-Terrain T/A

Kumho Road Venture AT52 vs BF Goodrich KO2

Kumho Road Venture AT52 overall is better on-road tire, though off-road you do get one area where it beats it's counterpart, and that is sand. With the newer tire, Kumho added some really unique sidewalls which provide that traction. And on roads, you get better dry and wet grip, fuel economy and comfort, though tread life is same on both. BF Goodrich KO2, on the other side, features superior traction on rocks, provides ample mud traction, and on-rods, its dry grip and noise dampening abilities aren't too far off form its competitor.

Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure vs BF Goodrich KO2

Both wet and dry on-road traction is seen better on Goodyear Adventure, as the tire gets to have more stuffed up lugs placement, with a lot of siping on the tread blocks. Moreover, it also gives better fuel and tread mileage, comfort levels, and a decent winter traction. The BF Goodrich KO2 is although not too far off on dry roads, could really use some grip on wet roads, though it's off-road traction is where it all pays off.

Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx vs BF Goodrich KO2

In summary, the Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx is a better tire if you are mostly staying off-road, though it's durability is almost the same as the KO2. BF Goodrich KO2 on the other hand, is great with dry and wet roads, where it's wet traction is just marginally better (it needs improvement, given it's less aggressive design). Moreover, it also provides better winter traction, fuel usage, and tread life.

Goodyear Wrangler AT/S vs BF Goodrich KO2

The Goodyear Wrangler ATS is a on-road all-terrain tire, which means it's going to do great on highways, in both wet and dry roads. The BF Goodrich KO2 on the flip side provides epic durability and powerful sidewall lugs and biters, so it's not wonder this tire would bring superior off-road traction, especailly on rocks. Though on road, the tire is also not too backed off in terms of dry grip, and noise dampening. Moreover, it gives superior tread life in comparison as well.

Nitto Ridge Grappler

Cooper Discoverer Rugged Trek vs Nitto Ridge Grappler

Cooper Discoverer Rugged Trek has a rugged terrain skin on top, but from inside, it's a weaker tire, yet it still performs better on mud and sand, and with a lighter structure is good with fuel and tread wear. Nitto Ridge Grappler on the other side, does great on rocky terrains, and provides amazing stability of dry roads, though it's wet traction could use some help.

Pro Comp AT Sport vs BF Goodrich KO2

Out of both tires, the Pro Comp A/T although gives a very on-road oriented design, with it's larger weight (still), it gets to lack in terms of fuel efficiency and tread life. Though it still yeilds improved traction on both wet and dry roads. The BF Goodrich KO2 on the other side, might not be as comfortable on smooth pavements, it's off-road traction is unmatched.

Kanati Trail Hog A/T vs BF Goodrich KO2

The Kanati Trail Hog being a more aggressive tire does better off-road, where it's self cleaning grooves deals with gravel and mud, and it's thicker lugs provide sand and rocky terrain traction. The BF Goodrich KO2 on the other side, features a better dry performance, on both wet/dry environments, and it's also great in other key areas as well, including fuel and tread usage and comfort levels.

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 Bridgestone Dueler Revo 3, is a better daily driver, as it offers greater on-road grip in both wet and dry conditions.

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 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.

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.
