Time to finally ditch the OEM (275/55/20) - Pirelli Scorpion AT's, if you can really even call these tires!

I am way too lazy to be changing out tires every winter so looking to get a good year round tire. Seems like the new thing is all weather (with the triangle and snowflake) and not all season.

I really never off road but would like to get an AT tire that looks like a truck tire and performs all year. Gas mileage and wear is not a big concern as changing them every 3 or so years will work, so performance is the key.

Went to Kal Tire and they seem to just try to push the Nokian Rotiiva on me and the other places I went too seemed to like to push the BFG Ko2's.

Any thoughts on the BFG's...wondering how they ride and sound?

I got some moto master from crappy tire..At's if I remember..191 each for 18" 275/65. I'm happy.

Dozens of threads on the Ko2s.

Thanks Ricktwuhk those threads offered some good info. This is my first truck and first set of rubber shoes to replace my OEM tires. I guess the only question I really have left is about gas mileage.

Would you really notice that much difference in gas mileage running on the KO2's over the A/T Pirelli Scorpions that my truck came with? Or am I clueless?

Thanks

KO2s are a heavy 10 ply tire compared to the stock 4 ply. So yes, they'll get worse fuel economy.

Don't fall for the all weather propaganda. Yes, they are slightly better than a regular all season but are nowhere near comparable to a dedicated winter tire.

KO2 is snowflake rated, I've used them on my truck in the winter, and they're a bit better than the average all season tire, but nowhere near as good as the winter tires we use on our parts delivery truck.

I believe the tire is an 8 ply if that's what the D means in the code (LT275/55R20/D 115 S)

I also fully understand they are not a dedicated winter tire, as first stated I'm too lazy to change out tires.

When people say worse fuel economy are we talking 20% or 30% or more or less as an average?

I am asking only because I am new to trucks and have no clue. My payments are finished and I want to take my $800 a month and buy some upgrades now

We have Duratracs on our Xterra and are happy with those. Thinking about a set for the F150 soon.

You say you don't want to deal with the hassle of switching tires.
