Default Tires

Been researching for a long time now. I'm stuck! Not sure if I should go with the Terra Grapplers G2 or BFG Goodrich KO2. The tire size I was quoted on was 305/55/20. Is that the best looking for a 2011 Lariat with a leveling kit?

They are both nice, depends on what kind of tread you like. I got the cooper discoverer s/t maxx and the tread is very aggressive with no noise at all here is a pic

I have the ST Maxx tires and they trigger the slippage light all the time. Light snow on the roads, oh yeah. Even on wet pavement sometimes....especially making turns on local streets. They are not much better over OEM.

If returning/selling/getting another tire was a simple process, I would have done it. But they are quiet, I will give them that.


And I seem to be one of the few having issues. Still ultimately disappointed. At least I got a great price on them.

Depends on what you want and need. The nitto's come in an xl version and will ride softer than the ko2's.

That's crazy, I have never had an issue with them..no snow down here in Florida though, so I couldn't judge in that aspect. Although I gotta say, it rains a lot and I get great traction with them

I love BFG AT'S. I have used them 20 years. The first set on my Toyota went 89k miles. They are great in the snow. I clear driveways on the side with a snowblower, so I am often out before the plows. I have never needed pulled out.

I just got a set of the BFGs, I was debating between them and Nittos myself. So far, they're great! Very smooth ride and very little noise. I just reset the gauges, so I can't give you any honest.mpgs yet, but I'd still recommend KO2s.

KO2s here as well. I've put about 1000 miles on mine and if these last halfway decent, I will never own another set of tires. They look great, ride quiet and smooth, and have went great in the snow (8+") and wet roads.
