Kenda klever at2 vs the falken wildpeak at3w
I put 4 AT3 tires on my FJB Edition FJCruiser about 2 months ago. Haven’t been off road yet but I love the on road wet/dry performance.
👍
We have a fleet of 4 Silverados and 4 Colorados at work. We’ve run most of the popular ATs at some point. The boss got a set of the BFGs a while back, and they are better than 50% with 50k miles on them. We rotate tires with every oil change and typically get 70k out of a set of tires. Anyway, the BFGs are now going on everything. I just got a set on my Silverado and am thoroughly impressed. I can’t wait to get them in the snow!
Thanks for sharing. Did you like the dry and wet traction on them? Also, what sizes are you familiar with? Just curious.
@@comparethetire traction seems excellent in dry and wet conditions so far, also very good in loose dirt and surprisingly comfortable on rough dirt roads. 265/70r18, 265/70r17
I have over 60,000 miles on my KO2 tires. I just drove in the rain from Kansas City to Memphis and never once felt this “poor wet traction” that folks seem to always want to talk about. I’ve had BFG all terrain tires since the mid 90s and never had wet weather issues from them. I guess some folks just don’t know how to drive. 🤷♂️
Thanks for sharing your experience. The KO2 has less wet traction compared to Toyo AT3, but it does not mean it's bad. The tire still provides ample grip and handling with better resistance to hydroplaning out of the two. And the tire only lacks in wet because of its 3 ply stiffer sidewalls, which helps it perform better off road.
People can and do experience different things with the same tire it doesn't mean they don't know how to drive,smh...
I think that wet traction has a lot to do with the automobile also. I had a Toyota Tacoma that got bad wet traction no matter the tire in 2wd because of the light back end. Now I drive a Toyota 4Runner and have had great wet traction even with badly worn tires.
I agree with N2TRKYS. I have had several sets of KO2s on different vehicles. The version that I am most impressed with is also the smallest size I've run at 235/75 r 15. My point is that bigger versions of this tire may not perform as well.
All depends on vehicle. Like a 2008 f250 kills those in 30k miles
Toyo AT3’s on my 2020 Tacoma DCLB 4x4. Been one year now and they have been awesome for my needs. Chose these for the better wet weather traction and majority highway and daily driver use. Also went with P metric one size up from stock. Did not need E rated tires. Light off roading and snow performance were great so far.
Good choice! It's a nice overall dynamic tire on road, especially with that size. Just be careful off road with the sidewalls.
how does it affects fuel consumption if any?
@@acc1tester398 Yes, it has impacted my MPG’s by 1 compared to the standard OEM highway tires.
@@comparethetire What is the deal with the sidewalls on the AT3's? Are they having trouble with sidewall punctures or slashing on them?
@@AccuracySpeaks Yes Toyo AT3's sidewalls are not so durable.
I have run the Toyo A/T 3 on my Tacoma 2019 for about 3 months they are really good tires. This is my first set i am impressed with the ride and handling.
Thank You for sharing.
I have run the Toyo's AT3 for about 10k now on my Ford Tremor. They have been great fairly quite on the highway. I had KO2 before on my other F150 and they we ok with the exception of wet traction and they were terrible. Looked at the Wildpeak's while they seem to be a great tire they are extremely heavy. Good and bad depending on your needs. I will stay with Toyo!
Thanks for sharing.
I would stay away from Wildpeaks. They wear out fast. Mine are almost bald at 30,000 and I rotated them regularly. The Toyos and BFG are both better tires.
Got wild peaks on my 3500 Cummins, 38k so far and plenty tread left. Tows my 5th wheel often.
does the toyo affected your fuel consumption?
I had Wildpeaks on my Jeep and KO2's on my van which I'm planning to replace with Toyo's. The Wildpeaks always felt too stiff and loud for my taste. The KO2s are quieter but feel heavy. , I'm hoping the Toyo's provide both a quieter and more agile ride than either.
I’ve run 2 sets of KO2s on my FJ Cruiser with great results. Recently purchased a CJ3B that I’m seriously thinking of putting on the Toyo AT3s.
I have run Toyo AT3's since they first came out. I was one of the first to try them out in my area. Love the tires, great on and off-road. While not part of the discussion, I recommend Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T, they are even better from the members of my 6,000 member off-road group.
@@terrarecon thanks for the info. I hadn’t even considered MT. I’ll definitely give them a look.
@@rrtownsend6432 yeah, definitely consider it.
@@terrarecon How good are those Toyo's in the rain and snow and are they really loud???
@@mercedesbenzs600bash the tires are excellent in the rain. I have not personally had them in the snow. However, members of my group have given excellent reports on their snow traction. As far as them being loud, no. Fortunately they are all-terrains and not mud-terrains. I normally cruise with my windows down.
Ive run the KO2s for 25+ years on many 1/2+3/4 tons, bush roads + hwy. No other tire I trust like these. Wearing between 80,000 km + 115,000 km life. My 3 persoal trucks all run them. I have the confidence in winter to drive 130 kph on snowy highways and for my wifes truck whil I'm out of town. Love + trust these tires. 👍👍
Yes these tires are pretty great, once they are used the right way, seems like you got it.
My 04 cummins just eats em. About 8 to 12 months to a set. Went with toyos, have over 14 months on em and only 50 percent worn.
Here in Chile the Toyo is about half the price of the KO2s, so seems like it might be one of the best options at the moment. (Mostly daily driver in city, with some weekends and vacations on dirt.)
Good choice!
I have the Toyo AT3, live in the NW and we have rain majority of the season after summer and the road traction never disappointed. With the snow where I live they do the job well.
You got that right.
I've driven my AT3 in super soft sand, rocky terrain, plenty of freeway on/off ramps and some icy/snowy conditions as well. They have been flawless. Pretty quit too.
Thanks for sharing.
Just picked up a set up KO2's for my 2020 Tundra TRD Pro with stock stance. I love the way they look, concerned with everyone's feedback on wet road conditions, I live in Houston, TX. so rain, t-storms, Tropical Storms and Hurricanes happen often out here. But hey, cant be much worst than the stock Michelin AT that came with the truck. I can feel the weight of the tires right away as I switched over, but hey, I didnt buy a crew cab tundra for speed. lol
Houston's weather can be quite demanding on tires. It's always good to hear firsthand experiences. Hope the KO2's work out well for you in those wet conditions. Drive safely!
Update?
Toyo AT3's / we like the dirt and play as often as we can, but the majority of the mile's will always be on pavement.
Yes, mostly miles are on road... that's why A/T tires were made, so these tires are capable of going off road and are still comfortable on pavements.
I was worried when I needed new tires, I have a 2017 Toyota 4Runner limited with the 20” wheels, luckily Toyo open country III have 107Ts. My original tires were 107H, so they have the same weight limits, different max speeds. 107H can “safely” go to like 128mph, where as the 107Ts can only go a measly 118mph “safely”, I don’t think I’ll ever be going that fast. Most shops wouldn’t touch it because it didn’t have a “lower” rating, luckily I found a place who had no issues doing it, great tires so far although no snow so far this year. 😢
@rogerbannon3767: It sounds like you did your research and found a great fit with the Toyo Open Country AT III for your 4Runner. Here's hoping you won't have to test them in snow anytime soon!
Big fan of the KO2. Have had them on my truck for about 6-7years, and over 70,000kms, mixed driving conditions in Canada. They’ve never left me stranded or stuck. Never had a hole or any damage until literally yesterday when my wife borrowed the truck and did not see that the tire was very low, and ran it in -20 and parked it half way on a curb. Power bulges in the sidewall, lol.
…back to the tire. Driven on them in every condition Imaginable. Deep snow, ice, mud, gravel roads, uphill through the bush in the mountains, and highway. Honestly the best tires I’ve ever had, and will be buying another set even though I’ve still probably got 60-70% tread left on them.
Are they ice tires? No
Are they deep snow tires? No
Are they mud tires? No.
You get the point, but they do remarkably well in every category and can hang with the specialty tires in each category (except studded winter tires on ice) while still providing a fairly quiet and comfortable ride on the Highway. I’m a hatch critic of tires, and I’d give these a solid 9.5/10.
You said it. All tires are made differently and KO2 is the toughest tire you can get right now in AT. You can say Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT is equally durable, but it's marketed as AT its a RT like the Nitto Ridge Grappler.
Great review on two tires I love I chose the Toyo AT3 ✌️🇨🇦
Thank you for the feedback, glad you liked it. And cheers for the tire. =)
How is the road noise?
I’m getting a set of Eighty threes (lol) put on my truck this week.
Good one 😃
Hello I’m struggling to choose which would be the better there for me I’ll be travelling Australia and will be doing lots of off road trails and also lots of sand driving what would you recommend ?
Why not go for another option besides these two for sand? If you're looking for a great performing tire on sand, (on a less aggressive side), check out Kumho AT52 (latest one), while if you need aggressive, check out BFG KM3 (in M/T categroy), or Mickey Thompson A/T.
In Europe the Toyo are almost half the price of BFG , in fact there are a lot of good tyres that are in the same price range as Toyo, BFG mmight be good but I'm not sure they are good enough to justify the price difference.
Indeed, the price difference is a significant factor to consider. While BFG tires are renowned for their quality, Toyo offers comparable performance at a more affordable price in Europe. It's important to weigh the cost against the expected performance and longevity of the tire. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your specific needs and budget.
Both of our jeeps wear BFG KO2s which work well in Alaska with our lots of snow.
yes, its interlocking design is effective in snow.
i just got the ko2 s and went on few offroad trips i love them no way i could have gotten the places with toyos that i did on ko2 s they would have tore up sidewalls
It's fantastic to hear that you're having a great experience with the KO2s! They indeed have a reputation for being robust and offering excellent protection against sidewall damages during off-road trips. It sounds like you've tested them thoroughly and they have lived up to your expectations. Thank you for sharing your positive experience. =)
Wish BFG had more of a rating selection. I have a mid size ZR2 Bison and want to run 275/70/17 in a 6 ply “C” rated. I think I’m going to be stuck with Falcon Wild Peak AT3W.
You can never go wrong going with Falken Wildpeak. (in AT category).
Have Toyos rt now. I've liked them, Ko2 are cheaper priced here in WI. I was going with the Kos anyways seeing the tire installer told me the ko2s are even more aggressive looking and should cup less then toyos. He did not know what I had on the Boss rt now. Yet I was still skeptical. Glad I seen this as the price point difference has made my final decision for me. Ko2s.
Thanks for sharing
I Use in my toyota tundra 2014 the same toyo tires that came with the truck, the car has over 70k miles
Yes they do have a great longevity.
My 285/70 17 C load KO2s have 2 ply sidewalls. I chose them because they are about 8 lbs lighter than the E load tire in the same size. More unsprung weight makes your brakes, suspension and driveline work harder. I off-road them and haven't had any problems.
Thanks for sharing
I have the toyos on my v8 F150. Only drawback is wet roads. It takes no effort to spin the rear tires in the wet. Never ran the bfgs so I can't compare. I think falken wild peaks are going to be my next choice.
Falken Wildpeak AT3w provides better wet traction compared to both of these, you can check out their videos on the channel as well.
It’s gonna spin with any all terrain tires.
I noticed on your written review you stated you got 19 mpg with the KO2 and 18 mpg with AT3, I'm surprised since the KO2 weighs more, any idea why the KO2 got better fuel efficiency?
Yes, it was a mistake, it's fixed now, it was the other way around. Thanks for letting me know BTW, appreciate it.
I’m running the KO2 on my 21 Tacoma trd or and I average 19.5 and can get 21 if I really baby it
So after watching the video and reading all the comments I’m more confused about what’s a better tire than before.
I run KO2s now but they are HORRIBLE in wet and snow up here in Canada. Tempted to go AT3
@Treetopflyer777
I can understand the confusion. Every tire has its strengths and weaknesses. Based on your experience, trying the AT3 might be a good move.
at3 all the way! just slapped them on my f150, live in Canada, and getting great MPG too! ;-)
Falken Wildpeak AT3W
Interesting. I've run about everything down here in the Rockies, and the KO2's have been the best in the winter. Even been breaking trail in bumper deep snow on both my 2500HD and a Jeep CJ with the BFGs, and they've been awesome!
@@richardbartlett6701 glad to hear.
I just tried the Mickey Thompson baja boss ATs. much better for me than KO2. Far better all around now that I’ve had a couple months with them in the snow
The "Toyo 83" with the "three big mountain snowflake" is where it's at.
Huh?
👍
Has anyone owned both of these in cold/ snowy icy climates? I’m wondering which compound holds up better on snow and ice when it gets cold
They both come with pretty stiff compound, so none of them would hold up on ice. Though the full depth sipes of ko2 help.
KO2’s
I get skid on wet road with Ko2 .. I was thinking of getting Toyo
Get something else; neither are good on wet roads. Check out my website for more info.
I found the ko2 terrible on wet roads in Australia. I rate them as dangerous! The km3 is much better on wet roads. Tested with a landcruiser 100 series.
Interesting to hear about your experiences with the KO2 on wet roads. User feedback like yours is very valuable for others making decisions. The KM3's wet road performance seems to make them a standout choice for the Australian environment.
Seems like the AT3 is better for a daily driver and the BFG is a better offroad and overall tougher.
Yes Sir, your'e right there.
Had KO2s on a frontier
They were nice tires but a bit soft
They also picked up screws nails and even a round bolt like no one’s business. More so than any other AT tire I’ve had. Could it have been the roads? 4 punchers in 15k. Just my $.02
My $.02
@king0dasouf
That's unusual. The road conditions and areas you frequently drive in might have contributed. But thanks for sharing your experience.
Can you do one with Yokohama G015?
Yes, it's on our list.
Now I've been hearing that Yokohama Geolandar AT G015 is a really good all terrain tire for the money,really good wet traction and suppose to perform pretty well in the snow,I'm leaning towards that one for my 08 Sequoia Limited 5.7L 275-65-18 here in New Jersey...
@@mercedesbenzs600bash I have the g015 on my gx. Good on moderately difficult dry terrain like sandy hill climbs and good in pavement wet. Haven’t tried snow but reviews say very good.
Also they were more expensive than at3 and wild peaks at3w, same price as ko2, when I purchased.
@@pennmikael Walmart $215 a tire LT 275-65-18 not bad at all...
I couldn’t get AT3’s in 295/65r20 when I needed them last February. Ended up with Nitto Ridge Grapplers which have been a great tire.
Nitto Ridge Grappler is also a great tire but it's a little more aggressive, that's why are in the hybrid/RT category.
Rain and snow pretty good traction???
@@comparethetire What exactly do you mean by aggressive??
AT3's are about 70 dollars cheaper per tire here in Mexico, big difference !

Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT vs BFG KO2 and Toyo Open Country AT3
Already published a video on BFG KO2 vs Cooper AT3 XLT.
Anyone have both of these in snow? My son lives in Colorado and I drive there a lot from Texas. I need good snow tires. Currently have Falken Wildpeaks and, while great in snow, treadwear sucks and won't buy those again and get loud when tread gets worn. I am going to buy either these Toyos or the BFG this time.
They say Toyo has better wet traction,but they also say KO2s have really good wet traction,hey if you don't like the way they perform just take them back and get the other ones...
bfg has horrible wet traction, had a set. I'm surprised you don't like your wildpeaks. Mine are overall a better tire than my bfg. You look at MTRs or duratracs? The duratracs are awesome.
@@topgunne12 I loved the WIldpeaks the first 20,000 miles but they are worn out at 31,000 miles and I rotate them every 5,000 and don't drive off-road. It is all highway- just some snow. I have heard good things about the Duratracs- I will look at those also. I love the looks of Nitto Ridge Grapplers but wanted the severe snow rating and the Nittos don't have that.
Sorry you had this experience. (Apologies, seeing this late).
Tested both during the AT3 development. The Toyo AT3 was very predictable and way more linear doing a back to back with the K02 at 60+ lane change maneuvers on a groomed snow surface. What was the most noticeable between the two was the harshness. The K02 was very firm crossing ruts and tended to step out and was sensitive to undulations. I can continue but my pick in snow was the AT3
Toyo AT3 Had some Ko2 the only hype was the aggressive look
Though you do get extra durability
Had 2 sets of the at3 down here in TX
...in 2 years. They leave black tracks on the concrete when I turn, parking spots, curves in the road around work, everywhere. Traction is great, but >25,000 in 2 years, and 2 full sets, im done.
Experiencing significant wear on your AT3 tires within a short period can be frustrating. Balancing traction and tread life is a common challenge, and it's understandable that you're looking for alternatives that offer both durability and good performance.
I can get ko2's for 930.00 and at3 for 1100 in jersey. Ive gone through 2 sets of ko2's so far because they were free but ive never had any issues with then in rain or snow and i beat my trucks
If they've served you well without issues, sticking to what works makes sense, especially considering your usage.
I tried, but is seems to me that you can't buy the Toyo AT3 in Germany
What other options do you have?
@@comparethetire I do have the BFG A/T.... but like you said, wet roads are a problem... so I would like to try out the Toyo AT3....
Move to US who live in Germany?
Had them both liked the toyo 3 better on wet roads the ko2 would slip a bit more but pretty Evan on dirt
Yes, the Toyo AT3 is better in wet on road traction, while the KO2 is simply great on dirt, gravel and rocks.
I have Toyo Open Country AT3 on my car. Recently hit a side of a rock going about 25 or 30 mph and damaged the sidewall of one tire. Thankfully it didn't pop the tire. Definitely thinking about paying a little extra for the durability that comes with the KO2s.
If you are looking for durability, also check out Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT (it has 3 ply sides just like the KO2).
@@comparethetire Thanks for the recommendation.
KO'2 all the way!
Right on!
BFGs turn into a snowball in the snow and are useless in my experience. Haven't tried the Toyos yet.
@northwoodsdad7506: It sounds like you had a less-than-ideal experience with the BFGs in snowy conditions. If you're looking to try something different, the Toyo Open Country AT3 is known for having good traction on various surfaces. You might find it more reliable in snowy conditions.
Toyo. Most of my time is on roads. I don't like to hydro-plane.
KO2 is better at hydroplaning out of these two.
Words matter
The KO2 looks waaaay better but I'll always take the Toyos. They actually did a very poor job on the appearance of the at3
Yea its less aggressive now, they actually did it to make it better on roads, though it's wet traction there is not impressive at all.
I've had Bfg once on a f150. Not impressed. Actually i feel they're over rated. I have AT3's on my current f150 and I have nothing to complain about.
Yes, they are overrated when it comes to wet/dry traction. However, in terms of durability and off-road traction, KO2s are amazing. I guess you mostly drive on-road.
BFG KO2's by far.
Right on!
Ko2’s are overrated and poor performance. Toyo all day
You may also want to check out Falken Wildpeak, if you haven't.
WOW overrated and poor performance,how so???
@@comparethetire Heard those are really good as well...
Stop the music!!!!!🤬
Yea I realized that after uploading, sorry about that, check out the latest video and let me know if that's okay now.
BFG are garbage. Horrible on wet roads and snow and they clog up instantly in mud.
Sorry to hear about your experience, but yes, you are right, they aren't great on wet, and their interlocking lugs capture mud very easily.

@@ericamtube I'm no fan either. That's basically what I meant from the last one.
At3’s ride better and last longer
Absolutely, the AT3s have a great reputation for durability and ride quality. Have you noticed a significant difference in handling or noise levels compared to other tires you've tried?
@@comparethetire the noise level is comparable to the KO2’s however the steering is more responsive with the AT3 most likely from the semi connected tread blocks on the outsides.
bf goodrich all terrain are the best, no dubt
They get the job done.
Don’t care about Toyo. From what I understand they aren’t made in the usa. If there is an American option to anything I will always buy American before I buy an import. Yes I realize some thing American are made outside the USA. But the company is still American and the final profit of the sale still ends up in the USA.
@texasgrillchef8581, your preference for keeping it American with BF Goodrich over Toyo hits home for a lot of folks. There's something about supporting homegrown products that just feels right.
😊 0:02 😅
😅😅😊
BFG so overrated and overpriced
Why do you feel that way?
Toyo is about the same price...
Overrated how,suppose to be a really good tire,arguably the best by many people???
They are pricey, true. But not as expensive as many others in the same category while still being able to provide the same performance or better in every condition.
I got less than 20,000 miles out of my last set of 315/70/17 KO2's. They sucked in the snow and I'll be glad to put another tire on . 1993 Jeep Wrangler.
Love my toyos
