KO2, no question. The Michelins are more of a street, P-series tire. IMO.
I had the regular BFGs, and they were the best tires I've ever owned. Looked good, too.
Depends on what you're shooting for.

I like the ride of Michelin's M/S2 and the traction in different conditions has been good as well. The seem to slip more than they should in the mud and loose dirt.
I live in Colorado and drive in snow & ice a quarter of the year and also need tires that can handle the off-road and muddy fields when I hunt. I have been partial to Michelin in the past but havent had an A/T tire on my truck and have no problem looking at BF Goodrich as well.
I have heard good things about the Michelin A/T2 but also about the new KO2. The one thing i have heard about the KO2s that i dont like is they dont shed snow well when the tread gets packed and you lose traction. I also dont know the treadlife expectations on either.
I know that can be quite an opinionated conversation, but What are your thoughts on the Michelin A/T2s and BF Goodrich KO2s and how they perform overall in different conditions?

My brother has the michelin's on his truck and is not happy with them in the winter up here in alberta. Most guys I know that are running the BF's have been pretty happy with them. Between these 2 tires specifically I would run with the BF's

LTX A/T2's in the summer, Blizzaks in the winter. If you live anywhere it snows more than 40 inches a year, it makes sense to have dedicated summer and winter wheelsets. I sure don't want to drive around on a snow tire in the summer, but I also refuse to compromise my safety and the safety of others on the road around me by using an "all season" tire in the winter.

I too am looking at both of these two tires. The past few winters in Southwest Ohio have been mild so I'm not real worried about that, especially with 4x4. I'm more worried about a long lasting tire. These both are about the same price. I would rather pay for the one that's gonna last longer and be more comfortable. I pull a TT quite a bit with six people in the truck so I definately want to swap out these stock Good Year tires for some 10 ply for the stability.

I’ve had the Michelin’s on my Frontier for about 45k miles now. Based on tread-wear now, they’ll hit 60k easily. Of the last 3 sets of tire’s I’ve had on that truck (Geolanders, Revo’s, Scorpions) two barely made it to 40k and the Pirellis’ made it to 50k, but they were scary in the rain after 35k miles in spite of having a lot of tread left.
I’ll probably put a set of Michelin LTX’s on the F150 when it’s time for the current Scorpions to go. While the Michelin’s don’t look aggressive, I’ve very happy with them and I’m over the phase of my life where I care if my tires look cool or not. I’m also in southwest OH, and while we had a mild winter last year, the 2 winters prior to that was pretty cold and nasty. The 4x4 was out on my Nissan for both winters, and I never had an issue with the LTX’s in the snow. Once I put 300lbs of weight in the bed that truck could tackle just about any snow covered street in and around the hills of Cincinnati.

Which size and type of Michelin LTX tire do you have? I've been also kicking around the idea of a level kit and bigger tires. I kind of like the rake look of the truck but I also like the look of some leveled trucks with bigger tires. My biggest issue is that I want a 10 ply tire for towing our camper.

It's the A/T2. Size is stock size, but they're on my Frontier. I've had that truck 11 years and have put a lot of different tires on it, so that's my reference point.
