the old school ones available in 1997.  :thumbsup:   I had some ko2s on my dakota and they sucked in the snow.   :(  

Had those on my MJ when I first got it. They weren't great in comparison to what I was expecting from them. Admittedly they were pretty old and worn, and one of the back ones was a 225/75 vs the 235's on the other wheels, but it was after the first snow that I knew I needed something better. I got the KO2's on the Jimmy because it desperately needed new tires, they were massively on sale, and I wanted to try them out cause they're the only winter-rated AT's in the size I eventually want on my MJ. They're not awful, but they've definitely inspired ginger throttle applications... Even with the G80 it struggles to move from a stop even in slush. It's not like the 4.3 is a massive powerhouse or anything, but I find myself hitting the 4x4 way more often than I did with the Grabber AT2's on my MJ. Frankly the hard-as-rock fleet spec highway tires that came new on our work trucks have been better, even on our new Ecoboost f150 that has zero weigh over the rear axle and will roast the tires on a half-throttle launch on bare pavement...

I was glad I had my Comanche today.  I've been gone 6 weeks in the winter, so lets just say it's snowed a bit in that time.  It's actually less than I expected, but it's warmed up so it packed down into a foot and a half or so of heavy messy crap with 4' of windrow at the road.

 

I got a cab home from the airport and dragged my tools back into the house, crashed out...  Woke up furiously hungry, and the driveway is brutally impassible.  The JK was stone cold dead, I didn't unhook the battery and obviously that was a mistake.  The Comanche though, she just fired right up, I threw the rear air locker on and chewed my way out in low range. :thumbsup:

 

No pics, use your imagination! :crazy:
