What winter tyres are best for a Navara NP300?

[Rich Rule]

Mick, are they the KO2's?

 

I had trouble getting hold of them on my last Hilux.  Found a set of KO's though, they were great and after 18k miles they still looked good as new.

 

I had to go white writing on the inside as I am not a boy racer.

Whaddya mean KO2s?

 

ps. technically I’m not a boy racer, I’m a poseur.

I thought that was the name of the BFG AT's.

 

The KO2's have more tread on the top of the side walls.

Just checked, yes, they have KO2 written on them.

No leaf springs on the new Navaras - just a pair of turbos and lots of other little pickups disappearing in the mirrors....

 The system on my old b2500 is ridiculous. In 4h both diffs are locked so you can't keep in in 4 for road driving.

 

Its has Remote Free Wheeling, where you can shift between 2 and 4 on the fly, but the front diff is still locked even though it's not driven. 

 

Means you can't drive in RFW on roads where there's patches of snow and clear tarmac. You'd have to stop to engage 4, and stop to disengage RFW on the clear stretches.
