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.

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.
