BFG-KO2 vs Cooper AT-4S

I just replaced my 4-year-old and 50k mile Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S with BFG k02 and I am extremely happy with these tires. The coopers did very well and are very strong however the K02 comes in LT only which is a load range e and 10-ply rating but they still run smooth.

 

Nice choice you made, that's exactly the size and tire I'm going with when my stock goodyears wear just a bit more.

 

Great choice! I love my K02’s!

 

Watch out. Around 20,000 mi. Mine got slippery. Two sets did the same thing. But damn they look great

 

Coopers have been very good tires for me. Closing in on 60k with mine and they have served me well but are ready for a change before next inspection, September. Will admit the BFGs look great but wonder if they will be as versatile. My only complaint with the Coopers has been the road noise. Not terrible but feel it could be better. Think that started around 20-30k in. Looking at tire options myself and am having trouble not getting another set of Coopers. Considering the Michelin Defender for the next run. Hopeful they will be quieter but a little boring looking.

 

@MissoulaGriz that's a fantastic pic! You should submit it to Tacoma World Magazine. Great looking tire!

 

Mabye take a look at the new Cooper Road+Trail. I think they are suposed to replace the AT3 4S.

Two sets of KO2s and after about 20k (as someone else mentioned) they did not perform well in wet or snowy conditions, and they started wearing uneveningly despite me being a nazi about rotations and alignment.

So take that with a grain of salt but after my 2nd set I said never again. They may look cool but they perform like shit compared to other options out there IMHO

 

I've had both on various vehicles vehicles. The K02s look great but suck in the rain. Currently running Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT and they have been great in everything except for mud which I'm not in a lot.
