Toyo's AT3 is the long-wear, quiet, snow-rated alternative to the KO2 — favored for overland XJs.
The Toyo Open Country A/T III is a popular alternative to the KO2 — slightly quieter, generally longer wearing (50k+ mi in light duty), severe-snow rated, with a tread pattern that handles light mud and mountain duty well. Common XJ sizes: 31x10.50R15, 33x12.50R15, 235/75R15.
It's slightly less aggressive than the KO2 in rocks — the lugs are less angular — but for an overland/daily-driver XJ that mostly sees mixed terrain, it's a frequent winner. Toyo's warranty also tends to be better honored than competitors.
