Default Which tires should i go with

I am looking at getting some new tires for my truck in the next couple weeks and am having trouble deciding between the BfGoodrich AT T/A KO2 in 275/70R18 or the Toyo OPEN COUNTRY A/T II in the same size. I have heard mixed reviews about both. I really like the look of the KO2 but have heard they wear quickly and need to be rotated pretty often. I don't need crazy off-road capability so the AT will be plenty. Any comments on either of these tires would love to hear what you guys have to say! Thank You!

I have the KO2's and I love them!! I've only had them on for a few thousand miles and they are holding up just fine. I've never ran the Toyo's before so I can't say anything about them.

The AT2's wear like iron. I have them on both my trucks. Off road traction is pretty good.

I've run both and you can't go wrong with either. It may come down to price because BFG may run a little more then the Toyo's.

My BFG' AT KO's wore fantastic. I sold them with 40k on them and they still have easily another 15k.
I haven't personally owned the Toyo AT, but my MT's were good tires...for what's that worth.
I'd feel comfortable with either.

I had BFG KO's on my last truck and put about 25K miles on them before I sold the truck. They wore evenly, and were still in great shape!

The Toyo AT's offers reliable traction and performance off the road but they are noisy in the highway.

$223 a tire. With Cali sales tax it came out to be about $960 total. If you are wanting them any time soon I would start looking asap they are on backorder through a lot of places including TireRack.com. I got them from American Tire Depot at wholesale price, They price matched for me. If you don't get the wholesale price they ware about $300 a tire. Hope this helps
