    Both good tires. Main issue is load rating/amount & toughness of plies. C is ok if you run on pavement and clean graded, D or best E if you go on sharp rock or places with construction and old structure debris.

    I do drive sometimes on sharp rocky terrain, do you realy think that an E rated tire is needed?

    I owned KO2 for the first few years and decided to replace them when I got new SCS wheels. I went with Ridge Grapplers. I love the aggressive look, but one thing I have noticed recently is they hold rocks more than the KO2 did. Not a deal breaker, but something I noticed now that the weather is nice and I drive with the windows down. I can hear the rocks and occasionally have to pop them out. My two cents.
