I have had several sets of KO2's, I think one thing some do that causes the wet performance to be less than stellar is running the tire pressure too high. Often, people will increase tire size, and when doing so don't take into consideration the need to decrease pressure as tire size increases to maintain contact patch. I think they are one of the best all around tires, I have run them on Jeeps from MO, to Moab, to Colorado trails. On F150's and 4Runners. Not one tire will perform the best in all conditions, there are all compromises. Kept in the right pressure range, for the weight of the vehicle and size of tire, they are pretty dang good.
