General Grabber AT2 vs BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 — Compared

“I have ran both of those options in the past all on half ton trucks. Like other have said a lot depends on what you will use your truck for but for me the all around comfort and off road/winter performance would go to Falken. The KO2 for me had a harsher ride obviously because it's a 8 ply D rate tire. The KO2 also seems to wear fast initially and then i don't know if the rubber compound changed or what but it became hard and noisy but did last a really long time. The Falken were quieter and better riding through out the entire life of the tire. They only thing i would suggest is go to a reputable tire store and have them road force balance. I ran two sets of Falkens on previous trucks with no issues but when i tried to put them on my current 22' F150 i went through 7 different tires and they still couldn't get them to balance properly so i just sent them back and put some Yokohama G015 AT's on it. I'm not sure if it was an issue with the balancer at the shop i was at, their distributor sending them crappy tires, or a bad run of tires from Falken but i would definitely pay the extra to have them road force balanced. Good luck with choosing a tire!”

“2019 zr2 Duratracs were a good tire. Only complaint was the last 10k of their life they got LOUD on the pavement. Good in snow, good on trails. Went to KO2s when it was time for new shoes. Like the stronger side walls and rating, better traction in hard dirt, no real difference in loose rocks or winter to me. Definitely harsher ride w the stiffer sidewalls. I have the ZR2 now as a 2nd rig (finally) so it doesn’t get daily miles. I’d purchase the KO2s again. Daily driver? Duratracs are better, but that horrid drone the last 10k of life would be enough for me to pass on them. 🍻”

“No opinion here between the Yokohamas or Falkens (both of which I would definitely put on my Outback ) but in my experience the BFG KOs are way too much tire for the Outback . I put a set of 4 on my 2013 Outback and quickly discovered that other than looking great, and being virtually bulletproof, everything else about them is a downside. Rough ride, lot of road noise, lost about 2 mpg in fuel cost, and very heavy when I did my tire rotations, which BFG says you should do every 3,000 miles to prevent excess wear. Like they say about many things, the two happiest days in my 2013 Outback ’s life were the day I put the KO2s on, and the day, after about 10,000 miles, I replaced them with “regular” tires . Great tires for a heavier vehicle, but too much for the relatively light Outback . I’ve read many Outback owner’s reviews being very happy with the Wildpeaks AND Geolanders. Sounds like that person has an agenda.”
