Anyone have a review for these tires? Snow? Highway?

I drove these tires since they came out with the "KO" addition to the name; not on a JK; a F150. They are great tires imho; very tough, great in mud and snow, no too loud on the highway. The only thing I might say against them is they're a very heavy duty tire and if you run them at a high pressure to try to get better mileage they will seem very stiff on a JK; but still great tires.

honestly, these are about the most road friendly/comfortable tire that i have ever run. running them at a psi that is really high may get you better mpg but, it will give you a harsh ride and cause your tires to wear prematurely down the center of the tread. not really a good idea if you're trying to save some money.

Ran these on trucks growing up. Great tire for dd and mild-moderate off-road. Great on dirt/country roads (spent a lot of time in back country Virginia). In my opinion, not good for mud. Really good on packed snow. Like when we get 2" on the roads and it gets packed and freezes. I ve talked with a lot of local Jeepers who like them. Again, because of the on road snow and ice, while still pretty good off-road. Seem to run well in the sand too. Nothing major, just surf fishing.

We ran 35/12.50 size.

I had these on my 98 XJ with and OME lift. 32 x 11.5. Great ride in the highway, did well in the snow in the northeast for me.

I ran these on my Sonoma ZR2 for 2 years and they are great in snow and for daily driving. I have to drive back country roads to get to work and never had a problem getting there and back in snow. Was considering putting these on my Jeep until I got another set of stock Rubicon tires of another Jeeper.

I'm running some 315/70/17s and absolutely love them. I haven't been on any trails but have been on the beach a few times and they are fantastic. I had a set of Grapplers on before these and for me being on the highway 80% of the time the mud tires just weren't for me.

Ran 33x12.5x15 on my Jeepster. Great in the snow, dirt, sand and highway. Never had them in the rocks or mud.

I've run them on a few different vehicles over the years and most recently on my 2011 Raptor. They last forever, balance well, are excellent in snow and sand, relatively quiet, and hands down the best for daily driving/on road duty. The only things I hated about them are their weak sidewalls, wet weather performance or lack there of (like slicks in the rain), and the fact that they pick up every tiny little thing on the road (or offroad) in the tread and then spit out at 100mph. I also think that they look kind of wimpy.

You seriously can't go wrong with them if you don't need a super aggressive tire.
