Cons
- Slightly increased road noise compared to standard road tires, though not overly intrusive
Tire B A/T KO2
Pros
- Exceptional durability and long tread life, holding up well over years and extreme temperatures
- Strong off-road performance in mud, rocks, and sand with reliable sidewall strength when aired down
- Aggressive, appealing visual styling ('badass' look)

- Increased road noise during daily city driving
- Less than optimal comfort on-road
- Compromised performance and grip in wet on-road conditions

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
