    If you are a fan of the old design, then the KO2 may be a good choice for you. With that said, they did nothing to update the most important part of the tire (the tread). Some swear by the design, some do not. I enjoyed the original KO's well enough, but think I'll stick to my Duratracs.

    Actually they did change quite a bit with the tread. Nothing drastic, but there are there. I have the Duratracs on the cruiser and they are allright. TKO2 with longer treadlife, better compound, higher sidewall rupture resistance are going to be very nice. Especially since they are less money.

    Granted I have only seen pics, but from what I could tell, all they changed was the sidewalls, beyond that the rest of it looks the same.

    Admittedly that is a promotional vid. So take it with a grain of salt. But I am strongly considering buying a set before the snow flies and selling the duratracs I have on the cruiser now.

    True.. I don't think you'll regret the KO2 one bit, it's the longest unchanged AT for a reason.

    I said I'll stick with my Duratracs, but I've actually been looking hard at the Cooper ATP for my next tire. I just don't wheel like I used to, and could use better DD manners.
