KO3 vs. Open Country A/T III for GY Sasquatch Replacements

[JL724]

My stock Sasquatch GY's are at 30k miles and have some tread left but I wouldn't mind replacing them soon.

The KO3 and A/T III seem to be the best fit for:
- Weight (don't want anything 7x lbs)
- Noise (want quieter than the GYs)
- Wet / Snow pavement performance

Anyone have experience with both?

KO3 are only in limited sizes/LRs right now - what size are you looking at?

Sorry, forgot to mention the car has the Sasquatch package, so just stock Sasquatch sizes.

They're supposed to be releasing the good ones(for Broncos) this month...

Have to admit I’ve got my eyes on reviews for
the KO3 37s - although I’m happy with my Nittos there is always room for improvement

What would be different on the good ones than what is available today?

I put 35" Open Country A/T III on my 2021 Wildtrak last November. I have e-series but they are quite at 85 mph and incredible off roading. I did a week in Moab last month and would definitely buy them again

Can you post a pic of the sidewall?

Most folks want a LR C or LR D tire. SAS runs 315/70R17... with 35/12.5R17 a very close substitute.

If I recall, previously the 315/70 was only available in LR F for a bit, but with it being a new tire, new sizes have been rolling out pretty regularly.

I installed some load range D K03 in the stock Sasquatch size about two months ago. Nice tire.

I did a week off-roading in Moab with them. It was amazing what they climbed up. Then very quite on 900 mile drive home at 85mph

That's funny you say that because I have the same tires and agree they are quiet once you hit 85 MPH, however they are kind of noisy between 70 and 85.

Did any of the commenters on this thread see any improvement in MPG with either tire at 60-75 mph speeds, on the 4D 2.7 Sasquatch?

Theoretically - a lighter, less "aggressive" tire, should raise mpg -- right?
