I’m debating getting the LT3s once the KO2s are worn.

Honestly the KO2 are excellent in the snow. Last year no probs. I was just out in snow/ice pellets and the tires were champs. Plus, the traction control on the Raptor is pretty damn good. Point where you want to and it goes.

You must not visit Tahoe very often. We’re definitely not known for our “frozen fine sand.” We’re best known for our “Sierra Cement,” heavy wet snow. Realistically we get everything from Sierra Cement, to frozen rain, to blower powder, sometimes all in one week. I watched the same guy crash two different times yesterday running mud tires on his Land Cruiser. Unless your driving in deep fresh snow, mudders are a disaster waiting to happen. I run KM3’s on my Jeep CJ, but mainly use it on the local trails during the summer.

I’ve never had trouble with any of the tires listed as long as I drive with a little common sense. Any all season/all terrain tire will be better in fresh snow than compacted, frozen, days old snow. Studded Duratracs can’t be beat if your only driving in the snow. Just my opinion.

I also installed a pedal commander which I put in economy mode when my wife or son is driving in the snow. My truck is a 2014 Roush Raptor which can be a little touchy if your not used to it. Just another option. Good luck!

Yeah Tahoe does get it all that’s true— but in general it’s just different kinda of humidity/ weather it’s hard to explain. I live in MA but have spent extensive time in CO/CA/WA/OR & Vancouver.

I’m spoiled tho once you drive a 4x4 truck on snows you’re gonna be picky about any other tire (in the winter) going forward.
