Hi, please take this as constructive criticism. I feel this video has no substance. You point out the design of the tire, which anyone can see from looking at photos, and a few points about each of them. However, there was no real comparison of the two. For example, It would be good to get into the tread design and compare them to one another, explaining why one would perform better than the other in a given condition ie. Snow, mud, sand, gravel, dry. This isn't the first time I have felt this way. Many of your videos felt very surfacy. No doubt you guys have a tonne of knowledge but I would love to see that passed on in a more technical and detailed manner. Doing performing tests with each tire and providing footage of said tests, would be massive.

Went from Wildpeaks to KO2s because I put a lift on my Jeep and found a really good deal on used tires of a larger size. I liked the WildPeaks better. Next tire set will be Duratracs, as they seem to be even better for offroading. I agree though, I have a rear-auto locker and if it rains the KO2s like to chirp like crazy, never had that issue with the Wildpeak and the locker.

I have the KO2s on my lifted 2012 Yukon XL. I use it for deer, moose and bear hunting every year and they are awesome tires. Several of my buddies get stone punctures each year and i have not. My buddies are all slowly switching to KO2s as they seem to be the best tiers for actual hard coditions like sharp blasted rocks hidden in the mud and snow. I also tow and load them up with big weight, with no floating or handling issues. My wife sometimes daily drives around town in bad weather throughout the year and they are quiet with excellent wear. Very happy with them.

I've had the BFG's on my ram 1500 ecodiesel since 2018 and now have 46,000 miles on them. I live in Norcal and take trips to tahoe and oregon for skiing and summer camping but 80% is highway driving. I haven't rotated them as much as i probably should but i can say that the back two tires are now basically slicks. I guess i don't wash my truck enough either to notice but it scared me how much snow i drove on last winter with these in this condition. I know i'm near the range of an average 50K warranty on these but that two of them are so bald tells me they were probably kicked about 5K ago. Not really that great in MY opinion. I'm not a race car driver and if you've tried to do a burnout in an ecodiesel, it's not happening unless you really try. I'm going for the Wildpeaks. Hopefully they last a bit longer.

KO's are holding up great taken them to Pismo beach CA and Borrego Springs CA. Never driven KO's in snow or rain, they do great in sand and rock. My wife drives a 2015 4Runner been throught 2 sets of KO2's had two flats one nail and one railroad spike. I drive a 2017 Sequoia and put KO2's on it, love the look of the KO2's all sets have lasted over 50k. The only real off roading I do is fire roads and dirt. May have to give the Wildpeaks a try, thanks guys!!!

I own a Gen 1 Hennessey Raptor and had the KO2 tires. I went with AT3W Falken tires to try out and absolutely love them! These Falken tires have much more cornering grip on dry and wet pavement, my speeds through the turns are much faster on Blacktop and dirt roads. The very weekend I put these tires on my Raptor we had a pretty good blizzard in Colorado, I absolutely took it for a proper test drive up in the Rocky Mountains for around 3 hours, absolutely Blown Away by their performance in the fresh snow, hard pack, and ice. I've had these Falken tires about 2 and 1/2 years with almost 55,000 miles on them right now, and they still look pretty good! Also on acceleration these tires hook up much better on Blacktop with less tire spin. There are other tires I would like to try but with how good these have been I'm not sure I want to try another brand.

Since then we have driven the XJ across country from Fl., to Ut, Nv, Ca.,and all points in between.wheeling in all the states we traveled to. Everything from mud,snow, ice, sand, and rocks. We are on our 4th set of BFG KO2 now. Still in the same XJ. With over three hundred thousand on it. Thank you for the comparison it was informative on understanding something’s about tires I was not aware of. It would have been a bit more helpful to know how they stacked up in different driving situations. At 68 years old I believe I will be sticking with my KO2 tires. They have never let me down.

Just spent 3 weeks abusing my KO2s. High speeds on the highways for 10 hrs at a time for over 4600 miles carrying my heavy rig in comfort and quiet. I ran my 04 Yukon XL up a mine road made of blasted rock and the KO2s were superb. Great traction and shifted direction on the blast rock like I was on pavement. Did trails in Moab, and high altitude mining “roads” in Ouray and they never gave me issues. They Run super quiet and get the job done no matter the surface. They do cake up on thick mud, but still had enough grip to get my heavy rig out of trouble. I’ll buy these til they stop making them.

Same. 3 years doing burnouts, ripping slides in my truck and running at 37-40 psi most of their life and still never a puncture or a leak. Mine are just balding now, but even the same as just when it snowed awhile ago, I plowed through 5-10" of snow for fun and made it out easily. Pros and cons for both of these. Only thing I can point out about K02s, not as grippy in the rain (not that it's a problem for me). That's about it. Revolutionary tire. Some used Wildpeaks I'm just trying out soon, which is cool and all. I'm just awaiting another set of K02s in a different size.

I had the Duratracs on my XJ for two miserable years. They were slightly better in the mud than KO2s, about the same in snow, much louder on the highway, less comfortable, ripped open the sidewall once and could absolutely never get them to balance properly. The balancing part was my biggest complaint since the XJ is fairly light, they would literally shake the whole vehicle. I've gone to the KO2 now and the only real complaint I have is mud traction. Other than that they are superior in every way *for my XJ.

My 3 year old K02s being bald from burnouts and ripping slides and also off-roading have never had a puncture or a leak on my stock wheels. Drove on them over 30,000 miles. Epic tire in literally everything. Except ice or rain. Rain is fine if you ain't trying to play. It's just time for something with more tread than what I got is all. Wildpeak seems to have very few complaints and most people happy with them. I'm trying a used set, but no denying the indestructibility of the almighty K02. I worked at 2 tire shops already, over 2 years of being a tire tech and sometimes when customers come in with BFG K0 tires, they're over 10 years old and haven't hit the lowest tread. They just have some siping is all and people still roll on it.

On my Jeep wranglers and F350 I have always bought BFG A/T and M/T tires over the years. But now I have a WK2 Grand Cherokee and I will be going with the Falken Wildpeak A/T tires when the factory Goodyear Wranglers are done. I have owned quite a few sets of BFG and find they need to be rotated often to prevent feather edging and cupping. They also wear down faster then I would like for what they cost in 33 and 35 inch sizes.

From my experience, frequent rotation need and tire wear is a function of a jeep. I have never rotated tires on any of my Toyotas (before Honda stopped being Honda) Hondas over probably a million of miles over the years, and no matter what crappy tires I had - even general (!!!) - they always wore perfectly evenly.

You guys are confusing side wall and tread plies. BFG’s have 2-ply sidewall in load range C, and 3-ply in D & E. Wildpeak’s have a 2-ply sidewall. Also, the KO2 doesn’t feature the 3PMS and mileage rating in the same tire. Up until late 2020, you could either get the DT version in some sizes with a mileage warranty (but without the snow flake rating), or the 3PMS rated version, which doesn’t have a mileage rating. Recently I was able to confirm with BFG that all the KO2’s have both the mileage warranty and snowflake rating.

My personal experience experience with both tires on my Tundra is that the BFGs seemed to last about 3K longer before needing replacement. Not sure where they bought the tires and found the Falkens to be more expensive but personally I have always found the Falkens to be significantly cheaper than the BFGs. And as far as performance, the Falkens are far superior to the BFGs on hardpack snow and ice over the course of two winters and two different vehicles. He didn't mention the silica content of the tires but anyone who lives in snowcountry understands the value of a high silica based rubber compound in the winter. Unfortunately high silica based tires do wear faster on dry pavement hence why the BFGs lasted a bit longer. Also put the Falkens on our 4Runner because of cost and increased winter performance. Just my experience but seems like you pay a premium just for the BFG label. Hope that helps!

I had this happen on a set of 265/75 16 tires. Got hard and slick in wet conditions. Tires where 8yrs old with 55k miles though. They started wearing like iron once that kicked in. But were dangerous on wet roads. Meanwhile a set of 31x10.50s the same age with about 44k miles wore down to balds and were still great on wet roads. Even though that is how that one tire ended they performed consistently. One thing I will say about the BFG is that traction is predictable. I find that has value. They also provided great feedback which I also find valuable. I replaced with wildpeak. I was not impressed with the road noise. Gas mileage in the same tire took a 1.5mpg hit. And to me the wet weather traction was trash in comparison to the bfg. Until the one got hard and plasticky that is. Snow seems to be similar. Mud idk.

I own the Falken Wildpeak at3w in the 10ply rating 265/70/17 for my Tacoma Sport . I was not specifically looking for this rating when I was shopping. I looked at every place local and on line and found these through a Walmart seller for $704 for 5 tires shipped free. That was $30 per tire cheaper than any other tire deal, I found and they were 4-6 ply rated. My truck really doesn't need 10 ply tires but I am actually glad I bought them. I switch out these tires and extra rims for winter driving and hunting in Michigan winters. I feel I can really let a lot of the air out of the tires in mushy weather and not worry too much about the sidewalls being affected. They are very quiet on the highway. Not much more than the all season tires I run in the summer. BUT . There is one thing you will notice when you put them on . The mileage goes down about 4 mpg in winter. I set my mileage to zero in Nov putting them on and again in April. I average over 7000 miles in each period . The summer all season tire mileage was 19.5 mpg. The winter AT tires was was 15.2. I have had them for 2 winters now. Very good on rain and snow. Not so good on mud , wet leaves and moss . I am glad overall, that I bought them. At 15, 000 miles there is little tread wear and no increase in sound or decrease in performance. Everyone has to make their own decision for their needs . These tires fit my needs and wallet very well
