![]() ![]() The tire’s rolling resistance is what tells you about the directional grip. Let’s delve into the specifics of each of these elements. To accurately evaluate the dry performance of an all-terrain tire, we need to consider traction, steering, and cornering ability. That’s why on both tires you see 50k miles warranty (on LT sizes).įor Your Info: The General Grabber ATX (review), gives you the most tread mileage overall, when it comes to top-tier all-terrain tires. In comparison, the KO2 comes with harder composition, but with more weight and less tread depth, it’s overall mileage comes down to similar levels. The Kumho Venture AT52 although features a softer compound which wears faster, it’s still saved by it’s slightly larger tread depth (taking more time to reach down to 2/32″, which is the legal limit). This explains why both tires are so similar here. That’s why tires with deeper tread voids and a stiffer composition experience slower wear. Tread life is a result of the interplay between rolling resistance, tread depth, and composition. Kumho Road Venture AT52 comes with 2 ply reinforced casing with 2 steel belts and a single cap ply of nylon, where the KO2 has 3 ply polyester casing and 2 nylon plies.Īre A/T tires harder to puncture: Tread Wear ![]() Yet, you still get a stronger build on BF Goodrich KO2, as the tire features 2 extra plies in it’s internal construction. And so to handle that, A/T tires are given with cut/chip resistant rubber, and solid internal plies. The durability of off-road tires is a vital aspect in ensuring optimal performance on “sharper/puncturing” terrains. ![]()
