Are the Motomaster Eliminator X-Trail A/T tires better than the BFG KO2’s? I go through the categories and rate these two tires against each other.

35/12.5/17s Grabber AT/x and Dirty Life Mayhem rims. Been really reliable so far. Not great in deep snow, but everything else they have been outstanding. We were just in CT looking at new tires for the wife's new JK. We saw these compared to Duratracs and I will be watching for an update. Safe travels in BC. Lots of high alpine snow still and mosquitos.

Those tires and wheels look badass. I treated myself to some Toyo AT3s... 285/70/17 on mine last year and I love them. I went with Toyo because they are a little softer rubber and They were pretty good in the snow last winter. Not as good as a designated snow tire but they did good. Cheers my friend.

I got the 285 copper SST pro mud tires on my FJ. swear they will crawl up a glass wall. Things my all terrains could not do in 4x4 low, they do without spinning in just rear wheel drive. pushing 50,000 km, and still hanging in there. They are an E rated tire so harder rubber, balance like crap, but man do they dig. they also have a built in crease to air down. excellent on snow and ice as they have sips in the lugs, and strange little indented teath keeps the mud from packing in.

I'm going to grab a set of these for my 2022 Sierra I think. Leveled and some 285/60r20 is exactly what I'm looking for and ability to do interest free financing on my CT card is dope to. Had 33x12.5 with a couple inches of poke for a while but the rubbing and mileage made me want to move away from that style. Also these tires are crazy lightweight which you can't find in E rated larger tire sizes like you can with these. There's only a few select brands in select tires that offer this. This tire in the size I said is almost 20lbs lighter than a KO2. That's HUGE for power delivery and gas mileage. Not to mention KO2s have a super annoying sound that I can't stand. It's just the pitch of the sound vs most other tires. I'd honestly rather have a mud terrain lol.

KO2 may not be the best. But you can buy a replacement anywhere in the world. That's their advantage.

@locophoto6881 Жыл бұрын

A replacement doesn't have to be the same tire. Have run mismatched pairs for decades, or run three of one and one of another a few times too. So that's not an advantage. Talk to veteran car guys..many have run four different tires on their cars or SUV's when money was really tight...there's no big deal difference to be worried about but tire companies will always try to push the fear agenda that you better buy their same tire or doomsday happens....except they're lying...shocking that they'd lie to make a profit.

Wait, so did you adjust the speedometer/odometer to accommodate the tire size difference? Or was your gas efficiency calculation already taken into consideration of the larger tires? I am running KO2s, nothing special there, but I LOVE my bronze TRD wheels found on the 2013 TT edition.

@stokedtour 2 жыл бұрын

Oooo those are nice wheels 👍 And yeah I added an adjustment factor due to the speedo and odo showing lower values than actual with the larger tires. I've noticed the same kind of thing last year when I was running the BFG KM3 33's - the difference was too close to notice, but I also drive like a grandma on the road, so maybe if you are harder on the gas pedal, the differences will be more apparent
