Goodyear vs. BF KO2 vs. Cooper at3 reviews (literally tried them all)
#41
Glad I found this thread. I'm going to try the new BFG Trail-Terrain soon on my new 22'' wheel. Initially I was set for the Cooper AT3 4S but the new BFG Trail-Terrain seems to be an awesome alternative. I'll focus on yours review on the KO2 and update the difference between them when I try the new tire.
glad it helped, update us on the BFG Trails experience

Hi aao4473,
Really great post, thank you. I just bought a 2022 Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE P400 with air suspension that came with the Pirelli Scorpions on the 20" wheels (see pic).
I want to put a more aggressive, wider off road tire on the stock rims without modifying, altering or messing up any geometry. I want a quiet comfortable tire (I'm old LOL), What is the general consensus here?
Thanks very much....Heres my D90.......

excellent tire, no need for any adjustments on the car, wide, looks way way better than the stock tires, capable off-road tire and civilized on road.
on road they are very quite and the air suspension works great with them soaking up everything, not a heavy tire so the engine rpm is literally the same as stock tires experience

Low Country- I have a P300 2020 Defender with All Season Pirelli Scorpions. Like you I wondered and have posted on this thread about getting something a bit more aggressive. WHY? Because I wanted a more aggressive look-however the reality is I am older and like quiet and comfort. I don’t go aggressively off-road which would certainly challenge this tire. What I can offer is this- I am on an extended around the country road trip. First across the Northern tier to the Dakotas for Pheasants and now down to my origins in Georgia. Next to the Southwest and then home to the Pacific NW. I have had rain and an early season mountain mini-blizzard in Montana and the tires have been great. Yes I can feel a pile of slush at 60 mph when I hit it but partly because of the full time 4wheel drive and all weather performance they have been fine, quiet on the extensive highway segments and good on mileage. The mild off-road fields and dirt roads are no issue as they would be on almost any vehicle so no test on serious off roading.
Mileage rough thumbnail for the 4 cylinder is 80+Mph on the northern highways 20ish, 70+ Mph 21-22ish, between 60 and 66 mph I get 23ish. This is loaded with gear and tires at “normal” inflation. 47/50 psi front back. I also have 19 inch wheels which I specified to avoid old guy curb rash and give me some room to air down if needed and a bit softer ride. All in all they have been good tires for the Defender for what I do. I think that is the message- the Defender can be many vehicles depending on use case. Will I change to more aggressive looking tire when it’s time? Maybe -do I need it? No
