Me too, sort of. I’ll also add that I occasionally tow or haul heavy loads (for the Ranger). If you watch that video pay attention to later when they talk about road manners and see their subjective reactions; that’s how I feel about the nokians too, but bottom line they’re predictable and competent all-around. But even if nokians aren’t your cup of tea, that site is great at reviewing tires, and their website has a cool tool where you can weight each of the test areas according to what’s important to you (eg more emphasis on dry or wet roads than mud or whatever) and it ranks the tested tires on the metrics from the tests given your weighted rankings.
I’m on my 4th set of BFGs. Three sets of KO2s on my Tundra, now KO3s on my RR. Keep em rotated every 10K and they will serve you well! I wouldn’t have anything else…Little hesitant trying these, reviews seemed mixed. I've always enjoyed the KO2's. I stepped up to 265/65/18 from the stock 255's. Only problem is the size was only available in an 8 ply D rated weighing in at 55lbs a tire
Well damn....
Nokians or more so the Pirelli XTMs will serve you better in the wet / snow. Nokians and Pirellis trade places in snow, but the Pirellies completely dominate wet traction and rival on road all season tires. KO3s are decent in wet and pretty good in the snow, but for on road, wet and snow, either the Nokians or the XTMs will serve you better traction wise.
Mine are not loud at 10k. Handle the road just fine. But I wheel a lot and would pick something more realistic if I didn’t do it much. I run them year round on my truck in Alaska and it does pretty well on snow up here. This is my second set of KO3s, and I’ve had 4 sets of KO2s. The KO3s are better for sure in the snow and wet.
