Which tire would you guys recommend. I've had KO2's before, ended up trading truck in so didn't see life of the tire.

Other tires in slight consideration are the Toyo AT III and maybe Yokohama Geolander X-AT... don't know much about Yokohama, tires look good but reviews semi limited.

I'm looking for an odder size so not all tires are available in size.

Of those 2, I'd go with KO2s. I had some Nittos on my 05 Z71 and they didn't wear well.

I am running those Yokohama Geolanders on that Z71 now and I would definitely get them again. They look good, handle well in all terrain and are pretty good on road noise.

Would you spend $80 more for yokohama than ko2?

No. I think I paid 1000 cash for 4 mounted and balanced.

I have the 295/60R20 Nitto Terra Grappler G2 on my F150

I like them, they're super quiet and have a 50k warranty which is huge

Got a couple buddies running 37” Nitto Ridge Grapplers on F250’s and they love them (nice ride and quiet). I just put a set of 35” Toyo AT III’s on my sons Tundra as the Nitto’s are back ordered and dealer couldn’t give me a date on when they’d have them. Very nice tire and comparable to Nitto’s. Happy with them so far.

Just curious but how does this work? I've never tried to use the warranty on tires before, but would love to try it

I’ve got nitros on a land cruiser. I’m at 32000 miles and they look brand new. They handle and drive well with little road noise. A lot of interstate driving included in that.

I’m on my third set of KO2's. 31 x 10.5 x 15.
‘06 Jeep Wrangler.
I do a five tire rotation every 5K +/-, 28 psi
Average 80k miles
Would be hard for me to change

This...I had Toyo AT III previously and they were loud as hell. The Nittos ride better (at least to me) and are at least 75% quieter.

Toyo's were on 18 F150...Nittos are on 21 F150.

ETA I had KO2s on a GMC that I had like 3-4 trucks ago and they were great as well....better than the Toyos and probably equal to the Nittos I run now.

I just switched back from Mickey Thompsons to KO2s. I had KO2s on my old Tundra and loved them. I put about 35k miles on that set and saw VERY little wear.... I forgor how quiet and smooth they are. Hope youre not looking for 33s cause word is most of the big brands are backordered. I went with 305s

I just put Nittos on my LX last week. They ride very well and are pretty quiet.

What size level do you have? Do they rub? I'm looking at getting a set of these for my 2017 F150 with a 2" level.

I had the Nittos on a Tacoma and after 20k they were flat out dangerous on wet pavement. I have 25k on KO2s on my Jeep and they are still like new.
