New Tire Time, What's Good These Days?

[nLander]

FYI. I just went to order a set of 315/70/17 KO2’s (Ford Performance version). I happened to check out the 37x12.5 as well. The 37” Ford Performance version is on special at the moment and is $20 cheaper than the 315! I ordered the 37’s…

What modification did you do to fit 37s?

Around 47k miles on my 2020 OEM KO2s. Noticing a lot of traction issues in wet weather, even when not starting from a complete stop I'm spinning the tires with acceleration. Looking at these options (in order).
1. Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T or M/T (thoughts?)
2. Stick with OEM KO2 (C-S)
3. BFG KM3
4. Goodyear Wrangler MT/R

Is there other options I should consider? I've ruled out Nitto, and probably the Falken Wildpeak (not sure how well Chinese tires hold up).

I am looking into the Toyo AT III, Toyo R/T, Nitto Ridge Grapplers, and Nitto Recon Grapplers. I have a 2018 Raptor tuxedo black right now. Any recommendation for any of these? I want an aggressive look without going full on Mud tire...

You serious bro? I feel like I'm getting punk'd right now.

I’m still reading the entire thread before asking a question like that, tires are locale and intended-use dependent, it’s long thread, but informative.

You didn’t tell us anything about the truck, use case, how you drive it so any information we would give you is completely subjective. I’m sure all of them are fine tires but they will do some things worse than the KO2’s. If you’re just posing, keep it stock. If you’re off roading up to 60% of the time, stick to stock. If however you’re mud bogging, or hooning in sand, with very use case specific traction issues, THEN consider something else.
The KM3 has a devout following here, but you will definitely give up some wet traction moving away from the KO2’s...

40" Cut Boggers they will fit

I love the Coopers! They are literally the best tire for the Raptor IMO, unless you are primarily mud. Quiet, they feel so soft compared to the KO2s... I am an absolute hater of the KO2s, I think they are hot garbage. The fact that the Coopers are also a pound or 2 lighter than the KO2s is nice as well. I'm not super strict on the pressures but I try to run 38/34 or so. I use nitrogen (I have a bottle filled with it for shocks, I use it on the tires too) and it seems to keep the pressure much better and keeps the pressure much longer.

Given your location, I suppose it’s silly to ask if you know how the coopers do in snow

I live in a wet environment and get decent cold winters. Hardly any snow or ice. Less than 5% of my time is spent off road.

I am just wanting peoples opinions on the look of each of those tires. Which of them are more aggressive looking but is not an 100% mud tire.
