The Discount Tire Pathfinder A/T tires I had in the same size before theses didnt rub. The KO1`s I had before the KO2`s didnt rub either. Just the KO2`s due to the agressive knobs on the shoulder that the KO1 and the Pathfinder A/T`s didnt have.

Now I do have a scrub on bumps when I have a passenger but that is from the tire hitting the plastic fender liner bolts and should be resolved once I get the suspension leveled out and replaced with all new springs that may or may not be worn out.

I have KO2s on my DD and used them last winter. They had decent grip, I spun on unexpected ice once but should have been in 4wd, so I cant blame the tires.

The biggest knock Ive read in reviews is that their grip deteriorates quickly when the tread starts wearing, a lot of people complained about hydroplaning after a while.

My wifes truck has Wildpeak Falkens, which I really like but havent driven on much. I would buy those again or another set of Coopers.
