Tires - BFG T/A KO vs T/A KO2

It's about time for new tires and I've run BFG T/A KO for several years with good results but I would like to get any feedback from those who have experience with the KO2. Since the KO2 has a more aggressive tread, I'm curious about wear life, fuel efficiency, and road noise. What are the trade-offs for the additional traction of the KO2?

Thanks for any input.

I've had mine (K02's) for about 1k miles so all I can really comment on is road noise and fuel mileage, which is no different than the KO's which I had before these. Tread wear looks pretty minimal so far.

I've put about 3k on mine and so far they've done good. Wear seems to be nice i really don't notice any noise out of them. Haven't really had the chance to "test" them out yet so really cant help yeah. They are alittle more pricey but i figured that was just the size of mine and them being a "new" tire.
