Just curious, since it seems the KO2's are now on backorder too? That thread is just over 2 years old I paid 676.(The 215/75/15's are in "limited stock" on tire rack) Here is a thread a couple years old on the Wildpeaks. Though I am a big fan of the Red Letter General Grabber X3 they are just big money and likely a touch more aggressive than you want. Im eyeing the general atx as a replacement. You may want to consider the new general grabber atx if youre. I think the Generals are a pretty good tire but word is the tend to be a touch loud compared to others. Switching from bfg ko2s to general grabber atxs. I don’t know this for sure but I am guessing it has something to do with the Indonesian process as I had a set of Ryken Raptors on a V6 Mustang years ago and it was an outstanding budget tire but they turned brown as well and they too were made in Indonesia. My only gripe with the Falkens is they turn brown. The Coopers are made in the States compared the the Falkens in Indonesia. I recently saw General Grabber AT2 so I wanted to know the pros and the cons between these two tires. My next tire purchase will be the Wildpeaks or the Rugged Trek. Which one should I go for I was originally trying to go for KO2s but right now they are not in stock with the installer I am trying to go with.

I have the Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S on my Silverado as I don’t need an aggressive tire on it.Ĭooler has recently released the Cooper Discoverer Rugged Trek that is getting some great reviews. I had them on the Expedition and planned to swap them to the Tundra when I bought it.Įnded up in a Limited with 20” wheels and I bought new 20” tires (Michelin A/T2s) while a good tire I kick myself daily for not buying 18” wheels and using the Falkens instead of buying 20” tires. After a rather lukewarm reception from the BF Goodrich KO2, the all terrain king-of-the-hill currently has no decisive ruler. And with its strong grasp in the mud terrain segment, the A/T X is General Tire’s next logical step. I highly suggest adding the Falken Wildpeaks to the top of the list. Their original Red-Letter Grabber, first featured on the 2010 4Runner in the Baja 1000, has been replaced by the Grabber X3. I'm sure there are some Nitto or Toyo that fit the bill, but considering my preferences, it's just a toss up between these two tires.Īnyone currently driving General Grabber ATX tires? What are your experiences? Generals Grabber AT2 was the undisputed leader in the all-terrain, all-season tire segment for many years, and the Grabber X3 was a stylish and robust tire. Most of my off roading is here in FL with a lot of sand but I've also taken the truck to the Carolinas and TN for some more aggressive conditions. Unfortunately however, these are basically impossible to get in a suitable size here in the UK - so they. Both tires have pretty good reviews and Tirerack reviews actually favor the General. Pirelli Scorpion AT + The Duratracs were recommended to me by Sandstone on here I recall, and they were my first choice as a solid AT tyre with a great reputation in the mud and snow. I do take the 4Runner off-road, so it's not just about mall crawling. Although bulky shoulders help in steering yet overall traction is not good. Grabber AT2 Dry grip is reduced due to lesser surface area of tread in contact with road. Its deep and broad grooves reduce contact patch. Price difference is not significant nor really a factor, but it's a matter of $150-$250 less for the Generals, depending on size. General Grabber AT2 loses the competition in terms of on road performance. Neighbor has a set of brand new Grabber ATX and they've got my attention. In addition to the performance, I also really like their aesthetic. I'm north of 70k miles and they're starting to show their age. They are way more durable and can last you much longer. Conclusion If you are looking for an all-terrain vehicle, look no further than the BFGoodrich KO2 tires. In traction and handling, there are no noticeable differences. In terms of experience, both are equally good. I've owned several sets of KOs and was very happy with the KO2s. It much tougher and lasts longer than the General Grabber ATX. I'll very likely also do lift at same time, so I'm starting the search and discussion now. Welcome! My 2017 4Runner is due for some tires in the next 6 months.
