Need to replace my KO2s with some new tires...in Denver, CO

[MileHi Guy]

I've had KO2s on my 2021 1500 Laramie for just over 4 years now and need to replace them. I don't mile my truck up much...only 34k miles in 4.5 years of owning it. I live in CO and it snow a bunch here most winters, also I ski in the winter a lot so, so I'm driving on Ice and Slushy stuff some. My only complaint about the KO2s that I've had are that they aren't great at gripping the road when it first starts raining. Has anyone else had a similar situation and what tires did you go with? Would you choose KO3s? Falken Wildpeaks? Something else???

I'm running the Toyo Open Country AT3s. They are supposed to be good in snow but I haven't had the chance to test that yet.

Check reviews for Falken Wildpeak AT4W! If they're anything like the AT3W I had previously, they're great for winter.

M/T's are good.

A Tire Rack test recently published indicated that there is a major difference on snow/ice traction between the p-metric Wildpeaks and the Load Range E and F versions, noting the former was among worst in test.

Contrast that with the passenger tire version being among the best you can get in a non-winter tire.

Compound is everything I guess.

Critical, as I for one assumed no difference and even thought about the Wildpeaks in the past here in Colorado, if they weren’t so darn heavy.

I as many have loved the AT3W and I've seen good reviews with the newest AT4W, plus youtube reviews. I'll find out this winter.

i have Kenda Klever R/T in 35's and they did freaking awesome last year in the snow. now they do not carry a huge variety in sizes in the tires but there might be one suitable for your application, and they are "budget friendly"

295/55/R22

 

[H2OMAN]

No I have 3 peak A/T.

Ah. That makes sense now. You wrote "M/T's". I take it that was a typo and now I understand.

Im loving my Bridgestone Dueler AT Ascent in LT (“10 ply”)

Dueler A/T Ascent | Bridgestone Tires

Conquer highways and trails with the Bridgestone Dueler A/T Ascent (245/60R18). Designed for durability, all-terrain traction, and year-round performance.

tires.bridgestone.com

They feel great in the rain and on the road. Haven’t had snow yet but theyre 3PMS rated. Theyre also lighter than most LT tires which is nice. At regular pressure (48 psi) they ride and tow wonderfully, but with the rears pumped up (70psi) they tow like a dream. They track arrow straight and are very quiet.
