I have heard good things on all three tires. The only nock I have heard on the KO2's is some will not stay in balance. My local tires shop has had multiple set on different rigs that they can not keep balanced. They feel the problem is worse on the heavier trucks and/or heavier loads.

I've been watching this thread for a while and this tire post prompted me to chime in.....
I'm on my second set of the Michelin LTX AT2 tires. I like them. A buddy put some Defenders on his Chevy and they worked too. But I drive more gravel & dirt roads than him so I didn't want the Defenders. I don't think I could tell a difference between the 2 tires when riding my my truck or his. P.S.... I don't drive in the snow - I usually run from it.
About all the truck and suspension questions......
I just ordered a King Ranch F350 Long Bed. I needed the higher weight rating and now I will be able to stop using my 331 lb Demco slider. I don't want nor need the camper package nor the heavy front suspension package; I believe all they do is make for a harsher ride (I don't plan on using a truck camper nor a snow plow - where I live we don't have to shovel sunshine.... .
ONE MORE THING..... lots of folks think ordering the 11,500 lb GVWR option will increase their payload. It does the opposite - it limits the weight rating. Without it you should end up with the 12,400 GVWR 'option' on your sticker. Just check what the dealer prints out for you when you place your order.
oh.... my dealer told me the order I place a week ago might show up in February (and that doesn't include what delay I might run into having selected the Adaptive Steering).Larry KE4DMG

I do not know for certain about the tires Ford is currently using, but the 18" OEM (AT option) GY Wrangler All Terrain Adventure with Kevlar on my 2017 F350 did NOT have the 3 peak rating, while the after market tires did. There was also a slight difference in the tread pattern and noticeable difference in rubber hardness between OEM and after market. Things may have changed but if the 3 peak rating is important to you (it was to me), I would check out some actual FORD OEM tires (on truck in lots - if you can find any) and verify that they do now have the 3 peak symbol.
