Michelin LTX M/S2 vs BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 — Compared

“BFG KO2 - 50k miles, some cracking between tread, slightly uneven wear. Time to replace? BFGoodrich KO2s on a 2021 F150 FX4 max tow. From what I can tell, these were the original tires and have just under 50k miles. Tread depth is technically OK based on the wear indicator. They show some cracking between treads, which may or may not be a problem based on the many threads and opinions here 😅 Bigger problem may be uneven wear. It looks like the original owner missed some regular rotations, and two of the tires (front when I bought the truck) were visibly more rounded than the rear. After 25k of regular 5k rotations it is maybe a little more even but still noticeable. They’re noisy - no surprise with with KO2s - and gas mileage isn’t great. I do tow occasionally - small travel trailer, 6x12 utility trailer, and rarely a pontoon. Time to replace? Or can I make it through another MN winter and replace next year?”

“Those are the KO2's. I have them on my 2017 off road and i think they're great. I sell and install tires and these are the ones i choose and recommend. I live in washington and they've handled everything I've thrown at them very well. My tires drive very well in the rain and they love snow. Freeway noise is pretty low and with your windows up you shouldn't hear them at all. I sell a lot of these and no one complains. Its a guaranteed customer pleaser.”

“Nitto RidgeGrapplers… I had them for 4 years and had tons of tread left after 40000 miles until I got a new job where my truck stayed on that dark asphalt 10 hours a day and they started cracking but I had the 10ply tires as I used to pull a 16ft trailer with mowers all the time… my tires had several small nails in them but it never once had a flat somehow. They do good in the slick stuff although I had 4wd but I only ever drove on ice one time and they did better than I thought. I currently have KO2s… honestly not a fan simply because balancing them is a nightmare for some reason”
