[QUOTE="reaper1441, post: 1242942, member: 26658"] I have a lot of experience with the BFG AT KO1's and they have a bad reputation in snow and ice for years compared to other tires. In fact they suck in anything wet really. The KO2's are better but not by much. Make sure you air up in snow to get the tire to bite. Snow isn't sand, youre not trying to float on snow. Theres nothing you can do for ice except pray the electronics save you. Or buy studs, chains or a dedicated winter tire like the Michelins previously stated. The biggest complaint with the old KO1's was they would pack up with snow. I spent a lot of time driving in new England with a long travel Toyota pickup (pre Tacoma) on KO1's and spinning them would clean them out and they would work again. The KO2 seems to have more cuts in the tread pattern but this is my first time using them (just got my truck) Being in maine I would patiently look for another set of wheels to mount tires on eventually. I wouldn't go buy some right away but I would shop around for some used stock wheels cheap. It would be nice but the stock tires aren't so bad I'd pay full price for a dedicated winter set unless I had pockets full of money to burn. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
