Have a Chevrolet Silverado

Last set was BF Goodrich KO2 ( there was nothing special about them) as we all know tires prices has went through the roof.

Looking at a set of Ironman County M/T. For about 500-600 less than the KO2.

Anyone had these tires before, or any others y’all have used


ETA: M/T not A/t

Never heard of them before but I stick to the name brand tires on all the 3/4 tons I’ve had. Just haven’t heard good things on the heavier trucks with the cheaper tires. You may be fine with a 1/2.


I’ve had good luck with the Toyo RT, Nitto Trail Grappler MT. I’ve got a set of the Nitto Ridge Grapplers now and they seem ride well.

Ridge grapplers and ko2's are a close tie for best all around tire for road and occasional mud in my experience. I will say from having both they both cake up quick in mud and it's hard to clear the treads so you gotta have some speed if its really muddy (which I guess is true for any tire). I have toyo m/ts atm and havent noticed any difference from k02 or ridge grapplers as far as road manners on dry or wet roads, nor with noise. Big difference in mud but I dont typically go looking to try to test them out and see if I'll get stuck. Cant go wrong with Toyo m/t, r/t, ridge grapplers, trail grapplers, k02's, or km3's in my opinion. My two cents.

Cooper supposedly has some good a/t's and m/t's but I have no personal experience.

Ridge grap, they last 55-80k miles and are quiet and handle well.

I am ecstatic that I have 60k miles on my KO2s and they still have another 10k in them. I don't know if ill ever switch brands.

Have 275/65r20 ridge grapplers on my truck. Have 55k miles on them, still have some life left. Picked up a set of 275/65r20 pirelli scorpion all terrain + off Amazon for $1110. Ridge grapplers were around $1600 for same size. Will swap them over before hunting season.

Yikes.......One thing I don't cheap out on are the only thing that is touching the road doing 80mph. I know Mopar runs a buy 3 get 1 free sale once or twice a year. You don't have to own a MOPAR vehicle. BFG, Falken, Nitto, Toyo, Yokahama, Continental, Goodyear (good luck) just take your pick!

Do not get Venom Power Terra Hunters.

Had them for 10k miles and can’t get them to balance and has to switch back to KO2s
