Default BFG KO2 How do they perform?

Thinking about getting the new KO2s when they come out. Anyone running them and can give me feedback? Would like to know traction on rocks, on road manners, how they work in mud, snow, rain. If you have any actual experience with these tires (not just hearsay opinions) please chime in. Thanks.

Bump. I'm curious as well as I'm considering these tires on my next change.

All different sizes. Some are already available but I am waiting on the 37"s that are supposed to be out in March.

I have the ko2s in 35x12.5x17. Great on road performance and pretty good for an AT on the rocks. Side walls are tough. They took a good beating going through matino wash. No experience with mud/snow yet.

Thanks for the feedback. Just waiting to see what the price will be like so I can decide between these or the Trail Grapplers.

Yeah, I know they are very different. I wanted the Nittos but really don't need a mud terrain and figured this would be a good tire that is in between an all terrain and a mud terrain. Mostly do desert and rock trails. Have to see what the price is like before making a final decision.

I hope they're still on schedule to release the 34x10.50s next month.

Me too. I've had a brand new set of Method beadlocks sitting in my garage for the past few months just waiting for new tires.
