BFGoodrich KO2 AT versus SIMEX 1 and 2 MT - 4x4 Winter Challenge

[@DaciaDusterTrails]

What is the tire you see as the winner? SIMEX or KO2 - Who works best in winter AT or MT?

[@ThePyleDriver]

You didn't test em but in my experience the Duratracs do better than the KO2s in snow. They are also setup to take studs if you want. So, for ultimate snow use I'd do studded Duratracs and carry v-bar chains for all four wheels :)

[@jasongaudreau2075]

@@ThePyleDriver I like the performance and lifespan of the falken wildpeak at3w in snow and mud over either of these tires.

[@leadnsteel1428]

The best winter/offroad tire is the Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac. It's more aggressive than the k02.

[@jasongaudreau2075]

@@leadnsteel1428 how does it compare to the falken wildpeak at3w? They have been excellent in New England snow for me. But, I’d swap if they perform as good/better….and can last at least 50k miles. Cuz that’s what I’ve gotten out of two sets of the falkens already.

[@jessewoody5772]

@@ThePyleDriver I've ran both on an 08 Jeep Wrangler and they both perform very well on road in the snow, however the Ko2s last longer and do not need to be rotated as often as the Duratracs. The Duratracs start to thump, thump, thump if not rotated often. The Ko2s are not as good in mud

[@MrGoMario]

The ATs on that Duster are amazing!!!!

[@JussimirPasold]

I really would like to see a youtube channel so compreensive about the Jeep Compass Trailhawk

[@curiositylandrover]

I have KO2 on my Defender and they are brilliant. That poor Dacia was acting like a snow plough with many deeply rutted tracks and to be fair a Jimny is quite an awesome off road vehicle. It is like a little puppy scampering up the tracks. I would say the vehicle and the driver is as important as the tyres.

[@komunakomunalska1664]

great videos man, i wonder what would be your ideal mud tire for a jimny 15' tire ?

[@DaciaDusterTrails]

Something like Insa Turbo Dakar in design

[@DaciaDusterTrails]

You do know that there is also a AT tire chart on our facebook group ;)

[@komunakomunalska1664]

@@DaciaDusterTrails yeah yeah im watching.. and im thinking about going with the cooper discoverer they seem to be great tires for a jimny..

[@leadnsteel1428]

The best tires are the Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs. They are a cross between a mud and all terrain. They have a much more aggressive tread than k02s.

[@kyriakosgkinis2661]

Unfortunately not available in the sizes used by Duster and similarly sized SUVs

[@Bezi.v]

The light vehicle... I think simex, because if you get to stop you can set off easier. For KO2 it's speed and power.. So, it is actually difficult to say: Simex in Vitara & small others like Pinin, KO2 on big and powerfull or light and snappy.

[@HudreaTudor]

Pe Suzuki Jimny am Simex Insa Turbo eu sunt foarte multumit de el pe zapada le las mai moi in rest pe noroi piatra orice nu m-au lasat.

[@grizly000]

Vitara Simex 1 . 👍🇸🇰🐻

[@somoldocbogdan7503]

Nu a încercat nimeni sa echipeze dusteru cu simex?

[@crisraul77]

BF KO2, după cum se vede și în videoclipurile mele nu avut minima problemă în a ieși din peste 50 cm de zăpadă sau a merge pe zăpadă, dar la 1,8 atm

[@Juju4x426]

Il manque une rehausse et une boite courte au Duster, et il les mangeraient tous.

[@treekiller6059]

Ce merge dusteru un pic de garda la sol mai mare și cauciucurile îl ajuta și eu am Insa turbo at pe un ranger 2005 și merge de rupe pe zăpadă 😂

[@nicukiler]

nu poti compara mere cu pere si cartofi ( patrol 2500kg , suzuki 1200kg si duster 1400kg). si nici simex cu at.

[@DaciaDusterTrails]

Sunt destul de usoare fiind masini cu 2 usi, singurul punct de diferenta reala este la suspensie independenta vs fixa - ceea ce se si vede in film ca impacteaza anvelopa.

[@DanBroscoi]

@@DaciaDusterTrails La zapada profilul de AT ajuta avand o suprafata mai mare de contact. La noroi, AT-ul se transforma in slick pentru ca nu are profilul care sa "sape" in pamant si sa produca tractiune. Greutatea conteaza, se vede clar pe film ca Patrolul invarte rotile dar din cauza greutatii nu poate sa se urneasca, pe cand Vitara, cu toate ca abia invarte rotile, sta deasupra. (Eu sunt posesor de Vitara cu MT-uri)
