Snow packing in tread is exactly the idea. Snow against snow presents a lot of friction and friction is GOOD when navigating snow. You actually want those tire treads to hold snow.

Yes, the stuck snow in the treads is what gives the traction not the rubber itself. This is why mud terrains suck in the snow because they don’t hold snow in this large treads. So many videos out there focus on the rubber but that’s not where the traction comes from.

General rule for snow is that rubber doesn't stick to snow very well but snow does stick to snow, which is why it's good that they pack snow between the treads.

A tire’s snow performance largely comes down to how well the tread and compound hangs on to snow. Snow-on-snow provides the best traction you can get in the cold. Ice is a different story and is more related to compound (modern snow tires contain silicates, my understanding is they’re kinda like abrasives grabbing the ice) and the tire maintaining pliability in low temperature (softness as you mentioned). Snow tire tech is really quite interesting. I’m just a plebe but trust me it’s worth a read or youtube explainer

In case you haven't found an answer, the only tires that won't slide on ice as easily are studded tires. They have little metal "studs" all around them that dig into the ice. They're also not allowed in some places due to being too harsh for the roads in the long term and may cause damage. ​@@mercedesbenzs600bash

Stephen Moore update: this year anchorage had a ton of ice. Not like any of the years I’ve seen so far within the last 10 years. I kept sliding into intersections even at low speeds and pumping the brakes. It got to the point where all we were driving on was just sheer ice. I eventually made the switch to Bridgestone blizzaks for their suv/trucks and it made the world of difference. Lol, save the AT for the summer man not worth your life.

I had the KO2s on my truck before switching to the KW3s, and while I never got to test them in the snow, I know they're rated pretty well in that category. Their rubber compound doesn't get super hard in cold conditions like a summer tire would, and the tread has lots of siping to help grip in the snow.

BF Goodrich makes the best synthetic rubber on the planet, always has. Here in Port Neches Texas, we have the BF Goodrich, GoodYear and Firestone plants all within 20 miles of one another. Its well known among the process operators in the plants that (1) Firestone has never produced a dry bale of rubber in its entire existence, dryness is key!, (2) Until early 80's, GoodYear couldn't keep belts from flying thru the rubber and totally destroying many many fender wells and paint jobs. (3) BF rules, it was the tire maker for the lunar rover in late 60's.

the BFG KO2 tires are a good "jack of all trades" tire, i researched them a lot, (overall good tire that can do all terrains decently, but not perfectly) and decided to buy them in a 31" x 10.5" x 15" configuration for my 84 dodge pickup. ive only had them for a few months now, but so far, through rain and soupy slick mud with no trouble. my truck has power steering and hydraulic brakes, but no ABS or traction control, and with these tires especially, i dont notice too much. the furthest its taken me to stop was probably an extra 5 feet or so on a wet road.

You can downshift in an automatic... I do that in my 4runner driving in the city and offroading in the rockies. The ONLY advantage of a manual is the transmission is less expensive. Some say more reliable, although you can still burn our your clutch, but that's a relatively easy replacement.

Edit 3 years later: I left the tyres on until december 23. The only thing they, or anything but studded, dont do is any form of ice. Absolutely terrifying on ice. No grip whatsoever. Generally the braking grip is less than any actual winter tyre, but good enough for a skilled driver in the winter. My bf's were 7years old with 6mm tread left when i took them off. Ive watched alot of these now because Im buing them for my car, but I have to say that many of the youtubers gushing over the KO2 winter performance are missig an important thing. I live in norway and Im glad the KO2 will get me forward, but I at least will remember that their stopping ability on slippery roads are much worse than actual snow tyres. So please be careful. You should not expect to.be able to follow the traffic closely as it brakes. Cant wait to.get mine on today, but when the snow comes here in Norway Im taking them off for regular snow tyres continental. Btw us with automatics and some attention to what we are doing downshift the automatic to.brake too. Dont need a manual for that.

100% agree with you merqury. I have these on a F150 and they suck, you slide, you slip and when the snow is really wet it gets packed in the treads and you get terrible shaking from an unbalanced tire. The tires wear like steel and work well on dry pavement, but are down right dangerous on snow or water.

Four wheel drive does not mean four wheel stop. In most of Ohio, we don't get that much snow usually (it's snowing right now, lol). If you live near the lake, I think it changes quickly.

According to Google, the tire size for a 2021 Corolla is 225/45R18. BFG All-Terrain KO2s aren't made in that size, so no. tirerack.com is a good site to see a lot of the different tires that are available for your vehicle with a lot of reviews.

@@mercedesbenzs600bash instead of using the brake pedal when on a hill in slick conditions and causing the car to slide, a person can gear down an automatic by going from drive to 2nd or first gear. This uses the engine to brake mostly the rear wheels while leaving the fronts free to steer without loosing control.
