There's MUCH better tires than the AT KO's for what you're seeking. Trust me. I loved them and sweared by them for years going from that 1st gen to the latest gen KO's.

You're better off getting Bridgestone revo's, Toyo AT's or Geolander AT's.

The three mentioned will be night and day in our climate (rainy/slick roads)etc..

Some guys are hardcore BFG-they are the best and would never look at anything else. I was one of them until I starting trying out other tires both on and off road. When I mean off road, I mean logging roads, gravel, loose shale, dirt, dust, mud, everything you get here in BC.

Even procomp AT's. Last week we (mechanic and I) tested our theory out. 33x12.5x15 Procomp AT's, Geolander AT's and BFG AT's. He has all three on different sets. (yes, he has a few bucks in his pocket). <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

Our test last week was : raining / after rain / roads and good condition logging roads.

Geolander AT was the best on the road while raining and right after it rained (slick). Tires were like glue. You can break out the rear end but the tires would spin a little and then grip easily.

Procomp's were close to the geolander's. Very close and much cheaper.

BFG AT's were horrible in the rain on the road compared to the other two. I mean not even comparable. If anyone will contest, go ahead. This is the same Jeep (shoot me now), same rims, same tires sizes and all just under 200 km's on the sets.

Logging roads, they were all similar. In some slick rainy/potholes, the procomps were better and didn't slide around as much.

Pretty much everwhere, the BFG's to put it bluntly sucked compared to the geo's and procomp's.

All except for one. When we aired them down to about 8psi and went into crawler mode. The BFG's have the reinforced bead and sidewalls and they were much grippier.

Aside from that, I just didn't see any point in grouping the bfg's in with the others.

Since I'm shopping for tires too, I'll keep you posted on what I find for the $ value.
