Much to my surprise, I still haven't heard anyone diss the snow performance of the KO2's. If only they were studable, if they were they might be the perfect tires. The KO2 is also one of the only 33x10.5r15's made now. So even I, the BFG hater, might run a set.

I wish I could still get the Big O Safari MSR 33/9.50r/15s that I put on my J10, then my Comanche and finally on the Honcho. (ran out of spares)

Re: General Grabber red lables vs Bfgoodrich all terrain KO2 in 33x10.5
Well I got the ko2's yesterday and so far I am throughly impressed! They look awesome, ride much smoother than the cheap passenger car 235/75r15. Significantly better traction in the rain. They are very quiet (though my exhaust is mildly loud and I am running a Holley blue). It also has significantly better stability than the 235s.
In just the 150 miles I have on them, so far, I love them.

What do the tires measure on the jeep? I know they are 33" but what are they REALLY?

Re: General Grabber red lables vs Bfgoodrich all terrain KO2 in 33x10.5
I have not measured. I have read 32.5" which seems about right to me. I'll try to remember to measure.

Just got a free set of 34x9.50r16 swampers to run temporarily. 
Any bets on weather or not the 74 can rock them at stock height?

Re: General Grabber red lables vs Bfgoodrich all terrain KO2 in 33x10.5
No, I was going to get a set of rims and ended up getting a better deal in a set of 31's. There on the stock height narrowtrack. Those tires will either get stored or put on a friends new truck. The 31's barely fit. So I would have had to use the 225/70/16 hankooks on the 74.

LT255/85R/16s are 33/10.5s and I had them on my MJ but the 33/9.5s were much better for the light truck.
