TIRES

[MidOH]

I can confirm that the Mich LTX At2 tires are just about worthless street tires in the midwest. It's a quiet economical tire, for new truck buyers.

I've got a ser that'll be replaced with Kenda Mt2's.

As long as they're not street tires, they should be fine.
Most overlanders that I've seen, only stay on fireroads anyways.
My group, we tend to seek difficult terrain, but we either run AT or Mud, and doesn't seem too important since we're not rock crawling steep rock cliffs or deep mud.

I have nitto trail grapplers, and they make every trail seem too easy, except ice.

A few posts earlier there's a esay written about what's called RT and I second that. Have MT for summer and soft AT for winter.
There's no tire who does all surfaces all climates.
But many RT will get really close to what all terrain really means.

Thing is.......murphy.

Had Cooper STT mud tires and never needed them in the last 40,000 miles.

Going with a smoother RT this time.

Put about 75k miles on a pair of KO2s, although they were all street miles. I can't imagine a better tire.

The KO2 and to some extent the KO3 really is a dry and warm terrain tire, if your climate is like this you will benefit from the longevity. If it's colder and wetter stay away from it.
Currently driving the kumho AT52 for winter tire and will most likely buy Falken wildpeak RT01 for summer next year as my beloved grabber X3 have worn to a point where they make no sense as an MT anymore.
