Default Falken AT3W vs BFG KO2

Just got some Falken AT3W tires installed. 275/65R18 on factory wheels. They have a nice looking sidewall and seemingly good tread. Someone at my work has the KO2, I parked next to them to try and get some comparison pictures side by side. Falkens I got are P-metric with 55,000 mile warranty and ran me about $850 installed and balanced.

Congrats!

The new Falken AT3W are by far one of my favorite tires!

We only use Falken on our trucks!

Looks good, price is solid too. The KO2 do look more aggressive though.

Those Falken's look like a nice tire for the price.

I just installed some AT3W 275/70/18's on some method mesh wheels. So far I love them. With a 2 inch level the fit is excellent and zero rubbing on a 33.4 inch tire. Also very quiet and well built tire.

The light is on the KO2 which I think makes it look more aggressive, which one looks more aggressive in person in the same light?

Working toward 11,000 on my Falkens now, and they are still flawless and are wearing great. Mine see all extremes and haven't let me down yet. I also tow with them sometimes and they feel strong. I bought the P-metric versions to keep weight down.

How's the road noise on the Falkens? I know the KO2s are extremely quiet.

No road noise. I never hear them in mine. 10k on my set

Both are great looking tires...one of my son in laws has the 285x65x20 BFG's on his F-250 and my oldest grandson has the 265x70x16 Falken Wildpeak's on his Pathfinder. Pawpaw gets stuck with tame looking Toyo AT2's!! All 3 brands have been doing great so far.
