My Toyo AT3s faired better in this climb without getting stuck and was able to pull him out. You know you're dealing with sand when you're getting stuck with 37s. HTs would probably fare best for their relatively smooth tread blocks. Any MTs, not so much because of the larger voids and more digging action. KO2s, AT3Ws, and AT3s all do respectably in this environment. Add some grade, and it'll really start to separate the capabilities of sand performance. It's the super heated low moisture sand, of the talcum variety that is a challenge. Beach sand generally contains more moisture which gives it more surface tension to hold weight. Top of my personal list for expanded performance on-road, wet, and cold are Falken AT3Ws and Toyo AT3s. They are on par or match the KO2s for Baja type running, while having better NVH on-road and notably better performance in the wet and cold. My idea of AT is to not have any significant performance gaps anywhere, and IMO, that's where some of the new kids on the block further excel. With winter trips deep into the mountain regions. If I'm being realistic 95% of my needs are still on-road. More of my buddies run these tires than anything else. Practically designed and optimized for the southwest, which is my home turf. We were passing a number of slower (or stuck) vehicles with confidence.
BRIDGESTONE REVO 3 VS FALKEN DRIVER
Last spring I traveled I-84 from Twin Falls to Salt Lake in Blizzard conditions behind a KO2 driver and we both did fantastic with both trucks aired down properly for the weight. And for most of us, this dance is with the AT's.Īgain, in the winter driving I've done along side of those running KO2s there was zero difference. As the saying goes, you dance with the girl you brought. Most users don't have extra sets of wheels/tires to swap.
The differentiator needs to be KO2 vs Brand XYZ. As would a Michelin Pilot Sport on summer highway. Bizzaks) are irrelevant any dedicated snow tire will perform better than a 3PMS AT. Posts that say KO2s are bad when comparing to a dedicated snow tire (i.e. Desc: 112S UTQG: N/A Sidewall: WW Max Load: N/A SKU: 000026. I wouldn't hesitate to drive the 200 with Duratracs in any winter weather. Not defending BFG, just don't think it's correct to cast one as better/worse without direct comparative testing. I don't think there's enough evidence to say Falken's are the superior winter AT other than anecdotal. I'm currently running Falkens AT3W on two of our three trucks, but all this talk about KO2s not being good in winter is false from what I've seen in the real world.
I don't think that is a proven statement.
