Looks great and smart to change it out before winter. I had a set of those on my 2021. I think next time will try out the Recon Grapplers.

I'm wondering the same. I did a quick search and found this post:

Thanks!

OP do you have any other pics with these tires? Would love to see the overall stance.
Also these have a lower speed rating compared to oem pirelli’s. Do you notice any hindering of acceleration? I’m assuming these ride smoother than oem pirellis. Still debating on getting these or just going with Michelin pilot sport all seasons

I made a thread after putting these on my 2021:
Nittos
I didn’t notice a difference in the drive but with the 99 mph speed limit I never really wanted to get above 75 or so. You could also look at the Recon Grappler which is similar but has a higher speed rating.
I left my G63 in the garage this morning due to 38 degree temps. Would love to get a/t’s but don’t want to mess with storing tires as I’m looking to get a 2025.

Yeah ridges look better to me but the recons may be the sweet spot.

Anyone know how the road noise is after 20K miles or so? My experience with blocky tire treads is that they can sometimes wear unevenly, and beyond half-life, they start to rumble.

I have Yokohama Geolanders (A/T 3MPSF rated) mounted and run them all year in Colorado. They don't appeal to many G owners though because they don't look like MRAP standard issue.

I had these tires on my landcruiser and while they look awesome and feel planted, they are an e rated tire and are not comfortable and are not made for rain and snow (they are slippery when wet even with awd). I only lasted about 3-5k with them. I switched out to geolander for the on road feel as well as the three peak snow rating. Personally, if I need good “style”, snow or wet performance, I would look at the new BF goodrich tires that are the continuation the K02 now adding three peak performance due to come out by end of year in a full size range.

I went with the Yokohama Geolander G015s. Much better than the KO2s ever were in the snow; my second choice would probably be one of the Cooper AT3s, or their new Road and Trail. The Nittos are pretty abysmal in the snow.
