Re: Why is buying tires so ****ing hard?
KO2's are moving up on the list now. I texted offroad medic and got his feedback on the KO2s. He said they handled pretty well in sleet/snow and mud.
Re: Why is buying tires so ****ing hard?
Like was already said, I am a fan of the KO2. I've been driving E rated at 45 PSI on a full size Tahoe with a decent amount of gear and added weight with good results since April. I am not nice to my tires and they get driven really hard and have held up well. I have had them in every road condition except ice.
In sloppy mud/snowy slush they don't clear as well as a dedicated mud terrain but they are far better than the old KO. They don't slip around too bad in the snow and handle well even in poor road conditions at high speeds. They are also quieter than Duratracs and have better road manners.
Overall they are very high on my list for my next set of tires. Especially since Costco has them for less than $200/tire for a 265/75/16.

Anybody ever run Dick Cepeks? Tire Rack has a sweet price on the AT model, $172/ea for 285 LTs with a $100 rebate on top of that. I'm tempted, but I don't know anything about them.

I've seen them in catalogs and that's about it.

I've seen some bro trucks with the AT but no clue how they ride or what mileage they get before they're shot.

I lied. I went with the ST Maxx. They are just as ugly as I feared, hopefully I can get over that.
Re: Why is buying tires so ****ing hard?
You get those on the Ford? I don't think they're that ugly, at least not as ugly as the duratracs.

Now you can roll over a spike a few dozen times and be good!
