I never heard of Kunhos until I did research and found how good they are

What year X do you have?
Do you offroad much, or mostly stay on the pavement?
What kind of lift do you have?
What do you want your new tires to do that your current ones don't.
Here are some additional thoughts:
When I was shopping around for tires, there were more options in 285/75/16, and they are typically cheaper, but thinner than the 305s. The thinner tires fit a little cleaner on the stock 16 x 7 rim...but you don't get as much of the cool balooned fat tire look that everyone loves. The thinner tire allows more clearance when steering, which is nice for a street driven truck. The fatter tire has to run at a lower tire pressure...otherwise the balooned shape will wear the mid section of the tire down faster. You have to lower the tire pressure enough to let the tread lay flat.
I ultimately had a similar size decision: 33 x 12.50 or 33 X 10.5. I went with the 10.5s, and don't regret it. It fits great on the stock sized rim, tucks nicely in the fender when flexed, and steers a decent amount before rubbing on the frame. Of course, many people run the wider tires with no problems...so it is a personal preference.
The BFG AT KO2s have a great reputation of having great street manners, low road noise, and awesome tread wear.
As mentioned, I have never had these before...but I went with the BFG KM2s and was very satisfied with the quality and performance. I would expect a similar experience with the BFG KO2s.

BFG AT KO all the way. I've run several sets on different vehicles, they are the best out there IMO.

I just put a set of ko2's 285/75/16 on a few weeks ago. I can't speak on the performance yet but they look great.

I too Just replaced my shoes with the 33/12.50 BFG KO2's love them, handle good on the street and of road in most conditions. I;m in Florida so most off roading is in either the soft sand or MUD, does sand excellent and mud pretty good, all in all a great all around tire. Just My 2 cents

general grabbers or BFG KM2s or BFG all terrains are the best in the market IMO. All terrains ride nice on highways though, very quiet unlike the KM2 which are a bit loud on the streets and highways.
