K02 VS General Grabber?

Ah, good to know. What's your take on the General Grabbers Justin? I know you deal with a lot of wheels and tires...

Great desert tire and they look awesome. They don't balance great but that's probably due to the thick durable sidewalls. IMO they're about as practical as the old Baja T/A DOT's that had the project tread.

I personally would go with a Nitto or Toyo MT if I to had to have an MT that I drove on the street. I'm happy with my KO2's. Out side of throwing rocks they've been pretty nice for my first 5k I've put on them. My ultimate tire would be a Toyo R/T that weighed the same as a BFG.

Good info! Thanks dude. 37" KO2's are my next tire...unless the new KM3 is out by then. Do you have any info on when those might actually come out?

Honestly, for a 90% street queen does it even make sense for a Toyo or Nitto? I have been on a single high speed raptor run so far and not sure how many more I have in my future. K02 and Red letters are reasonably priced and I figure for what I do either would suffice.

Its not like either is going to leave me stranded because of weather or conditions.

Great. KO2s come with raised(white) and non-raised lettering right?

My BFG rep hinted that there are too many KM2's on the shelves/unsold. They don't want to make the KM2 obsolete by bringing the KM3 too soon. His guess was 2016. But you never know. I see better info on the forum sometimes versus direct from my reps lol.



I only recommended those over the Generals because they have much better road manners and they're quiet considering their aggressive tread designs. So considering it's a street queen it makes the most sense to run a tire that's nicer on the street right?

Road Manners = KO2 over the Nitto/Toyo (MT's) over the Grabber

The KO2 is your best bet IMO

PS the generals might leave stranded in the ice/snow. Tires make all the difference in the snow

The General is like a "Summer Tire" in that scenario

Careful. I was near stranded due to grabbers and deep snow in northern Minnesota a winter ago. 6" from the road. In a light dusting they are ok. anything more than an inch or two and they have no bite and no way to expel Snow.

In the dirt / sand they are awesome. They also wonder on the road and hydroplane really bad in light rain.
