my experience with the KO is not so good

01 Dodge 2500 CTD 15k miles and shot

as a tire man could never get a set to balance out very well.

I run toyo open country and love them.

had the revos they were great in the rain and snow but got only 35k out of them.
I run cooper S/T on most my other equipt with good luck they are just a tad too aggresive for my taste for a mostly on road vehicle.

best a/t on the market. I've personally seen a few sets go to 80k miles. They are bad in the mud but as mentioned earlier. They are an a/t not an m/t.

I know lots of guys that run em. My buddy just replaced his at over 100k km on his Duramax... I couldn't believe he got that much life out of them, especially with the number of burnouts he does/did. Anyway, he replaced them with new KOs.

IMO you cannot go wrong with them, unless of course you want a fast-wearing tire

Thumbs down Not good!

not good...they look pretty worn after less than 10K miles about 50% left. (I liked them in my 91 Wrangler though)

i heard they changed the formula a while back and its horrible now.

btw, i was driving on a fire trail and it somehow got a small thorn in the sidewall, pop! new tire required at $230...

so sidewall protection SUCKS and mileage SUCKS...STAY AWAY!

I WON'T BUY AGAIN!

I love mine, I was impressed at how good they do in mud. When it rains I have no problems at all with traction.

zjnoob - Do you have pictures of your Jeep?

Would like to see your setup - very similar to what I am considering.

Never mind - I found you over in the "Show your Silver" thread -- looks great! I like seeing the 33" all-terrain on a 2.5 inch lift - I think that is where I will head..

Thumbs up

Excellent all around tire. I've had 5 sets on various vehicles and no complaints,[except they will throw a few rocks]. Work well in rain and at highway speeds.

Had a set on my 05 F250. The tires were terrible in deep snow and the slightest mud. I had to get pulled out of my driveway a couple of times. My wifes LR3 with real snow tires (Pirelli Scorpions) did not have a problem.
For comparison, my Procomp Xtreme M/T's on the JK eat through mud and deep snow but do not feel very confident on rain or snow covered pavement. The truck always did well on the street in most conditions.
