[QUOTE="Mylife98, post: 1832349, member: 34593"] Live in high desert 4 corners and San Juan mountains area. K02s for the sand and dirt trails in summer, Duratracs (not studded) for winter in mostly snow not ice. KO2s did ok in winter, but traction was a significantly better in the snow and on cold wet roads with the Duratracs: softer more winter compound on the Duratracs? They seem to maintain a ‘softer and still moving around rubber’ feel to them when driving on cold roads vs the KO2s hardened up and the tread became stiff and hard. The Duras hence seemed to maintain better on road traction on the cold wet slushy roads. Nothing scientific here, just my experience personal observations from driving and getting out and feeling the tires mid drive. Duratracs also rides ‘softer’ than the KO2: not quite as firm or responsive on a dry road. Softer or less structured side wall maybe? But that plays better off road giving a silkier ride at speed on oil field roads and running sand river beds. Duratracs also provided an uplift in traction in soft stuff like loose sand. Ended up just staying with Duratracs year round: the increased traction and softer ride out weighted the ‘sporty feel’ the KO2s provided on road. Photos for legitimacy and because my girl looks cool in the snow :) [ATTACH type="full"]374204[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]374205[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]374206[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]374207[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
