The tire still performs great with its bold angular blocks and voids which are enough for a satisfactory biting over the uneven surface of the rocky mountains.īesides the shoulders the Grabber has a very similar design with interlocking blocks. On other hand, the Grabber ATX is not too far behind here as well. And that along with the interlocking hook shaped blocks in the middle allow this tire to have more lateral traction in comparison. The alternating length and width of these blocks also make a zig zag groove pattern. The deep cuts in its shoulder blocks bite in to the surface of the uneven rocky surface. With 3 ply sidewalls the tire is just built tough.Īnother advantage that the KO2 has here is its aggressive serrated shoulder design. May it be stones, roots, dirt, or even sharp rocks and they would crawl their way out through them with no trouble. You can throw anything in front of these tires. On rocky terrain, with BFG KO2 you simply have more confidence because of their durability. We can confidently say that the General Grabber ATX is the best snow tire for money. That’s why both of these tires are awarded with 3 Peak Mountain Snowflake Rating.

So overall, this would tend to get packed with mud losing its grip. Similarly its narrower lateral grooves will allow lesser mud to evacuate at a given time. In case of Grabber ATX, their staggered shoulders also help in scooping the mud out but they are not as aggressive as the KO2. These shoulder blocks and sidewalls cut through the surface of the mud and the serrated shoulders scoop up the mud out of the tire, maintaining friction and traction. They further join in to the sidewalls of this tire which are also stronger with bulkier lugs as well. Not only they offer wider grooves allowing more mud to evacuate, but they also have edged shoulder blocks with deep incisions in them. Having said that, the BFG KO2 showed remarkable performance in comparison here. And you can’t expect the same performance out of these tires as you do with Mud terrains. ![]() On road, they were quiet for being a 4x4 tyre so I would buy them again after going through a few different brands to find equilibrium.Side Note: A better pick for On-Road would be Cooper AT3. They replaced a set of Michelins, which were really bad in these conditions. Tyre wear has been a bit disappointing having only lasted 12000km, but I have to say the sand and gravel probably wore them away more than anything. On tarmac however, in the rain, a bit useless, they do not give by snapping away from the road, but at lowish speed they do tend to drift a bit (but this could be more to do with the cars weight and condition of the tarmac). The ride is excellent off road and the steering response and grip is very good. The tyres in 40 degree slopes of forest mush I have to say have gripped fantastically, but only in 4 wheel drive, in 2 wheel rear, forget it, they dig a trench as expected. I drive extensively on dirt tracks and volcanic sand along with tarmac in the Azores up and down very steep hills. Have these on a Mitsubishi Pajero Sport (Portuguese). ![]()
