    I don’t think they make ko3’s yet. Km3 is their MT tire though. Ko2 is an AT

    Get some Cooper ST MAXX or Cooper STT Pro's had a set of the Ko2's over here where we get lots of snow. Garbage, filled up with snow to fast and sucked at low speed turns as well in the snow. Also they suck in rainy conditions, and this is my 2nd set of Pro's and I have had the MAXX as well. I will never get another set of any BF Goodrich tires.

    Ko2’s would work. I’ve been on soft sand and mud with them. No problems. Coopers are expensive.
