I've been running KO2's for many years, but no more. I would try something else.....but not Cooper.

They’re $258 per tire on Tire Rack, so that’s about right after install, etc.

$1221 all inclusive (including tax) @ Discount tire.
$1102 including tax @ Tire Rack. Mounting/balancing/etc. cost additional. Dealers price looks OK. That being said ... in my location, I would go to Discount Tire instead of using my local dealership. Local dealership is hit or miss on quality of work. That plus DT will not try to up sale you air filter & wipers. |

My Ford dealer quoted $1400 for a set of Firestone Destinations which can be had for almost 1/2 of that anywhere else!
Although, they are charging for lifetime alignment and rotation |

Sometimes 4WP has 10% off or a special of some sort on those tires. Get a quote from them if so, ask discount tire to beat the price.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Tactical_Jew: Do they have donuts, snacks and coffee? No, just people who know what the fuck they are doing. They back their work and the products they sell. I wanted to replace my 7 year old tires on my Chevy Colorado as I was going to make several long trips soon. I liked the OEM tires so I ordered the same make & model from DT. I showed up and they mounted them in less than an hour. I left the tire store and went home. Holy hell were they loud. I kept them a week and went back to DT. I told them that I was not happy with them and started explaining why. They stopped me and said "You are not happy with them and that's all we need to know. " I chose a different brand of tire and they swapped them with no cost. Been happy ever since. |

I have 70k on these and they’re not even to the wear point. If I wanted to put up with a bunch of bs I could probably list them on Craigslist or marketplace and get 25 a tire. |

I think it is an ok deal. Painful, but ok.
I replaced the KO2s on my Nissan with Nokian's aggressive AT (Outpost) and shaved about 15 lbs of rotating mass from each corner of the truck and got me a 1-2 mpg improvement. Unfortunately the Load Range E KO2 is the only size for my truck, if I could get Load Range C the weight wouldn't be so bad. The Outposts are great on snow and ice. KO2s (esp aired down) have never let me down in snow, so-so on ice. Both have been great on and off road. Edit: I only replaced the KO2s because they were over 5 years old, still had lots of tread left. I will not run >5 year old tires on the highway, but if that truck lived on a farm/ranch or got trailered to the trail they would have stayed on. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By slowkota1: Everybody was on the ko2 dick riding train not long ago... Now everybody hates ko2s I don't get it. Because every region and use is different. People buy shit because someone 1,000 miles away said they are great? A non winter tire I would use and what someone in GA would use has more in common than what someone in Utah would use. |

KO3 is where is appears to be at now if available in your size. I was quoted $1250 at Costco yesterday for them. The KO2 was $1350. The KO3 have better review for traction on wet roads.

$1731 out the door (certificates for all, disposal fees, blah, blah, blah) 33 inch over all diameter on 18 inch rim. Edit: I asked for KO3’s, dude said he wasn’t able to get them yet. As far he knew, they’re available on the new Ranger Raptor & no where else currently. |

I got some Good year Wrangler duratracs 265/70R 16s for $1061 this week.
Bought at the Toyota dealership $226 each $904 plus $157 mounting, road hazard and lifetime balancing. Sapper buddy got me a deal, no clue if it was good or not. KO2s you describe is $257 each or $1028 a set. Plus $237 for mounting etc. Not enough money for me to care if I wanted the KO2s. My Wranglers are not the best but quiet, more quiet that I expected. Have you driven a truck with the KO2s? My buddy let me drive his Tacoma with the same tires I bought and I was happy. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By slowkota1: Everybody was on the ko2 dick riding train not long ago... Now everybody hates ko2s I don't get it. I've hated them for twenty years. After hearing how amazing they are now on arfcom, I bought a set. They didn't change. They're still fucking awful. Terrible in the wet, a joke in the snow, and slicks would do better in the mud. The road noise is so bad after they're worn down that it sounds like I'm on groundhawgs. |

Around here at Discount Tier, that's $1424 out the door with the full certificates for replacement.
With no road hazard warranty at all, its $1218 OTD. That's a good deal if it comes with a real road hazard warranty. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By JAR0023: Why? If OP’s work, let them work. My last truck went ten years and over 180k miles in the original sensors. Because they don't last forever. They have a tiny battery that goes bad. Murphy's Law says that a week after you get new tires they will go bad. When the tires are off for replacement, it saves a BUNCH of $ on labor/mounting/balancing to replace them. Ask me how I know. |
