Some great points! On my van I did go with a larger than original, and more aggressive tread than OEM, tire. But they actually made my speedometer and odometer more accurate than what the OEM sized tires showed. (verified by two different GPS units) But I travel a lot of back country roads in southern Oregon and in Death Valley NP.
Hi Mike , I agree on the KO2 .I have them on my H3 Hummer and they are not overly good on ice and snow . Best tire I ever ran in winter was the Bridgestone Blizzak . I had them on a Toyota tundra and they were unbelievable good . The other big point to make especially with todays gas prices , is bigger tires can have a big effect on gas mileage . Stay safe and warm
