    I would like a poll and opinions on these highly debated tires, for those that would like to information all in one place and read peoples experiences.

    And if you think a tire should be added to this list of all terrain tires let me know.

    BFG's AT KO2 are pretty awesome. Tougher side walls and better tread wear, less chips and tears from gravel. Got a nice deal from the local 4Wheel Parts.

    I'm gonna be going with the BFG KO2's for my 4runner project. Little pricey, but excellent tires. Everyone I know that's had em has loved em.

    I have always been a bfg fan. I have owned KOs, never KO2s. Excited to buy my first set.

    There is alot of positive review on the walmart goodyear authority tire. It sounds like it performs well beyond its price point.

    I am torn between the Duratrac's and the KO2's. I will be mostly on road travel with the occasional hunting/camping trip so I think I will end up going with the KO's. If I was doing more off road travel I would probably go with the Duratrac's. Don't think you could go wrong with either though.

    I had the Walmart Wranglers on my Chevy Colorado. 31x10.5/15. I paid $13X per tire for them but it was 5 years ago or so. Amazing tires. Never HAD to use 4x4 again after getting them (no crazy off road, but snow and light mud).

    I have looked into them.again, but for a stock size in a trd sport they are $180. I don't consider that to that great of a deal anymore.

    My duratracs aren't the smoothest or the quietest and have some vibrations. They do good offroad which I do little of that while hunting. Will be going with KO2's, Falken wildpeak AT3's or something similar other than duratracs.

    I just replaced my KO2'S with a set of the St Maxx, both tires E load.
    The KO2'S ride rough compared to the Cooper's and the traction is much better in all conditions.IMG_20171119_105616516.jpg

    KO2's no doubt. Amazing tire. Lets face it. BFG is owned by Michelin so that proof they are one of the best on the market.:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

    I've had all 3 of those tires now and would recommend them all. Only reason I went with the Duratracs this time was price and being available in a Load C rating. Both the BFG and Coopers only had load E available.
