BF Goodrich KO2

Falken Wildpeak AT3W vs BFG KO2 (Updated)

Falken Wildpeak AT3w simple covers all areas which makes an AT tire great. It provides decent on road traction, where it's remarkable on wet with it's dual siping, which also awards it 3 PMSF rating. The tire provide good comfort and is very silent as well and off road, it shines with it's aggressive notches seen everywhere. The BF Goodrich KO2 which is also 3 peak rated, is impressive on snow and is on par on dry. But the tire lacks slightly on wet. But it sure covers for it with it unique rugged terrain performance. Side Note: Did you like this comparison? Or have any questions for me? I'm all ears in the comments section!

BF Goodrich KO2

Goodyear Duratrac vs BF Goodrich KO2

Both tires are popular for these all reasons we discussed. And all the topics we covered here really help you choose a tire which is best suitable for your need, as they both work very differently. And overall, generally you simply can't put a finger on either one of them. Both are great on snow with 3pmsfr. They perform great on roads. There's a bit of a noise issue with Duratrac, but I think its very overrated. Off road, they both are very impressive, but BF Goodrich KO2's durability really takes a large piece of the pie.

Toyo Open Country AT3

BF Goodrich KO2 vs Toyo Open Country AT3

So, wow, that was some detailed discussion, we covered a lot, but I get it, some of you folks are in a hurry, so let me try to summarize everything here (although it's best if you don't miss anything here). So, the BF Goodrich KO2... Well the tire is more durable, of course. They provide better lateral g forces on dry. Good handling and braking. But on wet Toyo Open Country AT3 takes the cake. Off road, things are good for both, except for mud. Both are 3pmsf rated, so good winter traction. And both have enough biters to impress you on rocks. So what do you think here? Do you agree with my assessment, or did I miss any point? Share your perspective below!

Kenda Klever AT2

Kenda Klever AT2 Review

The Kenda Klever AT2 is a pretty nice budget pick. The tire offers 60k miles warranty and is pretty durable, so it's also going to last a while. Sounds like a really nice investment to me. But in the end it all comes down to your need. Are you staying on streets? or going off road? This tire is a good balance between on and off road. So it's 50% on and 50% off road. It's good tread depth (14/32" of the tire here), is quite deep enough to evacuate dirt/mud (but don't expect mud terrain performance out of them). It has good load rating, and is also 3 PMSF rated, so it's not going to disappoint on snow.

Falken Wildpeak MT

Falken Wildpeak MT Review

So what's great about this tire? It provides exceptional off-road, dry, and wet traction. It is a very durable and reliable. It tackles noise well, with variable pitch technology. What can be improved? It has high rolling resistance, so is not a fuel-efficient and with high rolling resistance they are going to wear faster. Not comfortable on highways. Tire has fewer sizes option.

Tire replacing

Can I replace Just One Tire?

So overall it's not recommended to replace just one tire. But if you dig in deeper, the reason is tread depth difference, which can cause uneven wear patterns. You want to make sure that the tread depth of all tires are as close as possible. So if your tires are fairly new, and there is very little tread depth difference between them, you can simply swap the tire without worry ting too much. Though its still best to contact the shaving companies near you, so that your tires offer the best performance and safety values.
