Had these on my wife’s f150, really great tire, very little road noise and had excellent wear, I rotated every 5000 miles. Eric

I like Nessy choice...great tires.....but I experimented on some Kumho ten plys....good wear and decent traction so far... haven't had much snow to see.
Price was much cheaper compared with other brands too.

I was just at the tire shop today. Asked for a quote on KO2’s again since I was happy with them the last time I bought them.
The guy there said they came out with new tires this year, KO3’s. Hoping they’ll be ready for sale before winter. I’m going to buy them once they’re available.

I've ran falken .cooper .wild country. maxxis. bfg. toyo. good year. hankook. general. Goodyear duratrac has been the best by far for me. 2nd choice would be toyo m55 which they quit making but I hear rumors they are coming back out with them.

I am a fan of the BFG K02 tires and have had five or six sets. This last go around on the F150 I got talked into Toyo ATIII's. I've regretted not gettiing BFG'S as they have been very noisy.
I had bought a 99 Ranger that had Toyo's on it. In all fairness they were about worn out. After much thought and mind changing, I finally bought 10 ply BFG KO2's...basically put $1300 worth of tires on a $4,000 truck. I use this as my side by side on the farm and have never been happier.
Looking at the new BFG KO3's for the F150 now but have not yet pulled the trigger. Still debating on something a little less aggressive as my wife drives it mostly and on the highway.

I found an oddity while researching tall and skinny for a 15".

Skinny being 9.5, they make a 30 and a 33 but no 31 or 32. To get a 31 skinny you got to go to a 16" rim. Selection is better at 10.5.

Great in the snow!!!!

I switched from grabbers to wranglers years ago on my Excursion. Loved the first set of wranglers. The next two sets sucked. Road rough as a cob and required 5-6 wheel weights to balance and crazy loud. Guy told me it must be my rims. Got Falken Wild peaks from local guy, 1 wheel weight on 3 of the 4 tires 2 on other one.

Excursion 3/4 ton felt like a Cadillac on the highway with almost no road noise. Got 70k on them and they’re still going. Lots of gravel and rock roads. Guy that sold them said all the rural mail carriers have switch to them.

Kids switched to them too. All real happy.

I love the Duratracs but they’re pretty soft……which is good I guess but not for tire life.

surprised at how many of you guys have good luck with bfg ko2s. these were the worst lasting tire I've experienced. came apart with less than 20000 miles on them. granted those miles were almost 100%gravel on feed truck

I haven't liked the bfg ko since way back. Maybe they've changed but had a set on a Chevy 1500 and they would slick over and plug the tread on flat wet grass. Made for fun getting out hayfields with a load of hay. But that was over twenty years ago.

K snow, good point on the white lettering!

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

k snow---given your desire to run a solid performing winter AT with some off road traction the rest of the year I'd take a closer look at the Falkens. They arent quite aggressive enough for me in the mud season but they have a devoted following among folks in the snowy regions that have to routinely deal with anything from deep stuff to slush to hard pack from plowing. I also like those Grabbers that you ran before but they dont usually last a real long time. I noticed that once they were worn to maybe 50% that they had almost no traction left but when they are new they are a decent AT. The BFGs always seemed to last longer and have some traction for a longer period of time. Unfortunately ATs just never have enough traction in mud when need it and MTs are so soft that they only last me 12-18 months.
