- Size

- Weight
- 51.3 lb
- Load Range
- C (6-ply)
- Severe Snow
- Three Peak Mountain Snowflake
The KO2 earns its top spot with a rare balance: a Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rating for winter, a 6-ply C-load carcass that stays livable on a daily driver, and enough sidewall for gravel and fire roads. That combination is why it is the first tire we point to for a half-ton that does a little of everything.
Plenty of all-terrain tires look tough and then punish you at highway speed. The KO2's tread pattern and C-load construction are the balance point: it has the bite for snow, dirt, and loose gravel without the jarring ride of a 10-ply E-load tire. We also like that the 51.3-pound weight is manageable for a 17-inch truck tire, so it does not feel like a boat anchor on a daily commute.
If you tow heavy or run a three-quarter-ton truck, the KO3 is the better fit; the KO2's C-load rating is not the one for maximum load. For everyone else, that lighter carcass is a feature, not a compromise.
The KO2 is not the most aggressive tire here. What it does better than the rest of this group is cover the ordinary truck life: wet commutes, snowy mornings, gravel driveways, and the occasional trail, without making you dread the highway.
What We Like
- Severe-snow rated for year-round use
- Quiet, smooth highway ride
- Strong wet and off-road grip
- C-load carcass suits daily-driven trucks
Worth Noting
- Premium price versus the group
The KO2 is our default all-terrain for a truck that lives on pavement, sees snow and gravel, and still wants a quiet highway ride.
