KO2 produces less noise than its competitor due to its specific tread pattern. Huge grooves also account for less comfort on road as traction is reduced due to minimized contact patch.

Wind particles find full space to collide, reflect and resonate in massive voids producing a lot of noise. Driving ComfortĪT2 is much louder comparatively owing to its wide grooves. Moreover, prominent stone ejectors safeguard its grooves from stone clogging as they bump off rocky particles, small stones and pebbles, but they aren’t as good as of its competitor. Its serrated shoulders provide smooth handling over the difficult corners and sturdy sidewalls resist chips and abrasions. Wide grooves improve traction on dry surfaces as no stones can get stuck in between them. Thicker sidewall resist scratches and chips while facing gravel.ĪT2 provides dependable traction in rocky trails as it can deal well with gravel. Stone ejection not only provides better traction but also resist abrasions and punctures because of stone drilling. These prominent ejectors kick out any striking hard particles like pebbles or rocky fragments. Its superior stone repelling design prevents stone choking of grooves. Its tread deeply bites uneven surfaces and strengthened shoulders offer outclass handling over difficult corners on mountains. KO2 has full capacity to rock over the rocks.

However these tires perform satisfactorily on ice as their greater contact patch that grips the surface tightly and sipes avoid slipping by wiping water away. There is risk of snow choking in grooves. Narrow channels lack capacity to clean themselves from snow while rolling, thus tread exhibits less traction over soft snow. Soft snow presents KO2 many troubles as its grooves are less wide in comparison. However, high void ratio and lower contact patch result in poor grip and make traction difficult on icy surfaces. As the tire accelerates snow is thrown backwards, clearing the way of the tire. Increased width and depth of its grooves provide huge space for the removal of soft snow through them. Snow traction of AT2 is better than its competitor due to its massive grooves. Hence, tread with get filled up with mud in boggy areas and lose traction. These smaller voids do not have enough capacity to throw mud and loose dirt off from tire. Its grooves are narrow and shallow due to closer arrangement of bulky blocks. Its deep and broad grooves reduce contact patch.ĭuring off road trips over the muddy tracks, KO2 has less traction than its competitor. General Grabber AT2 loses the competition in terms of on road performance. KO2 performs well over the rocks as its deep biting tread provide traction necessary to mount up the slopes, huge shoulders manage tricky turns and stone ejectors keep troublesome hard fragments away. Its grooves cannot throw mud, snow or debris backward efficiently and may get filled with such substances, losing traction. In mud and snow, these tires have lesser self-cleaning ability. On the other side, narrower grooves have disadvantage while going off road. Wet traction is reliable, aquaplaning resistance is credited to extensive siping of lugs as water quickly moves out through these tiny slits. Strong big shoulders optimize handling and enhance traction while steering. High contact patch provides optimum grip over hard paved paths. In comparison it has low void ratio as five rows of bulky lugs are placed closer over the tread. Tread of KO2 gives an aggressive look due to interlocking blocks, large scooped shoulders, strengthened sidewalls, excessive siping over lugs, and stone ejectors embossed in grooves. Its tread is made up of long lasting rubber which resist chip and cuts, General tire provide warranty for its durability. In terms of off roading, this tire can roll through mud or snow smoothly as its wider grooves are capable of effective evacuation of such substances.

Due to these element AT2 exhibits good wet traction. Dense siping pattern and dimples quickly wipe away water and reduce the risk of hydroplaning. However, Strengthened shoulders enhance handling ability and stabilize on road traction to some extent. Minimal tread contact leads to lesser grip on paved surfaces. Comparatively, its blocks have large spaces among them as a result contact patch of tread is limited. Grabber AT2 has a rugged looking tread characterizing raised blocks, wide grooves, frequent sipes and dimples, aggressive shoulders and thick sidewalls.
