Which KO2 should I go with?

[cns721]

Which one should I go with? Both are 315/70R17, one is 113/110T and the other is 113/110S. I'm guessing I should go with 113/110T due to the rim width, but want to confirm first before buying. My current tires are MTZ 35x12.5R17.

This is my OEM KO2 tire. No complaints about it.

the T rating is for the Ford Raptor so higher speed rating. T is 118mph The S for the jeep is 112mph..

S rated is fine but I’d probably get whichever one is cheaper

Interesting, the S was already discontinued and replaced with the T (Ford) when I was tire shopping Dec of 23 per DT but still available. elsewhere.. KO2’s being replaced with 3’s so If you get them and have a non repairable tire in the future a replacement could be difficult to find.
IIRC/ the T’s were also a little heavier, slightly less tread width, and a little more expensive.
consider others, the Toyo AT3’s that I replaced the KO2’s with are better wet, not near the rock magnets and at least equal otherwise. Also 5 lbs lighter than the T’s.

The KO2 that's spelled KO3.

BFG’s site shows KO3 315/70/17/D coming in 25, not C’s … 35/12.50/D still no C , but also 37/12.50/C coming in 26 that’s interesting , and could get expensive.

The factory BFs are nice!

for now the only choice in 315/70-17 is load range F which turns many off.

Still only an F? Damn.

F load rating is crazy. I can't imagine that on a Wrangler. Probably has terrible flex off-road too.

Y’all missed it, It’s listed among the 19 coming in 26

I'm not sure why you're focusing on 37s. OP was asking about 315/70R17s. Those are out in F currently and should be available in D sometime this year.

As far as 37s go, I'd prefer those in D over anything else for my rig. Mine came with D-rated KO2 37s. AEV didn't choose D over everything else blindly. Hopefully it was due to it being the best option and my reasoning isn't completely faulty.

I mentioned the 37’s after reporting 35 D’s coming and surprisingly no C’s, but 37 C’s are, for those like me that could be interested.

a link to the produced, coming in 25, and 26 lists is on the BFG site under KO3’s. It would not let me extend the link, but I’m not good at it.

That is my thinking too on the AEV selection. I check for KO3 updates every so often on the 37s release dates and it’s going to be a tough wait. Why the F rating is release first for so many sizes is beyond me.
