I am about to put a set of new tires on the Jeep. I am torn between the Nitto Recon Grappler A/T and the BFG KO2.. I currently have Yokohama Geolandar M/T 35x12.5R17 and will be staying with the same size. My offroad adventure are moderate so both will perform well. I'm most concerned about there performing on wet roads.. I know both will be far better than what I have now, just reaching out for you personal experience and opinions before i buy.

@2018JLRUSellersremorse although there have been some forum members state that the BFGoodrich tire lacks in wet traction, our website rates the BFG at a 4.7 for wet traction and the Nitto Recon at only 3.9 out of 5. 5739 reviews posted for BFG. Only 29 posted for Nitto. Hope this helps. :like:

When can I order those new KO3’s? They look like a great upgrade.

I just bought the Nitto Recon for my new RAM because they had the size I wanted.
Initial impressions are they 're much louder than the OEM Pirelli All Seasons but
superior in every other way including warranty. If you can.....wait for the KO3.

I am a big fan of the nittos, we put recon grapplers on our fleet trucks (ram 2500 and 3500) and ridge grapplers on our wranger (35x12.5). The nittos hold up to the wear and tear of construction sites and in all weather conditions - lots of grip and no issues stopping in wet or snow. I have no issues with the ridge grapplers performance on the jeep - although I have never run them in snow.

@AirplaneWrangler the 285/70R17 and 275/65R20 KO3's are available for order through our sister company Tire Rack. There will be more sizes available mid 2024. ;)
