I wouldn't call them amazing like a dedicated Blizzak snow tire is amazing. But they are darn good for an AT at least through the first half of the tread. A buddy of mine ran them on his DD TJ with gawd only knows how many trips to the ski hill each year and really liked them. That was enough for me and I put a set on my truck. Think they are on their third winter now and even though they have plenty of tread they arent as stable on the compacted snow as they once were. Come summer it will be time to do the 50% tread left sale to a broke kid and buy a new set of Duratracs.

True that! You northern lads are lucky though with your drier, stickier snow. Our heavier wetter snow acts more like mud. No snow sticking to snow around here, much. It's thick soup. The DT's work ever so slightly better in that than the KO2's. Not enough to base a decision on though. Thought that might be a good tidbit to share.
We have the heavy wet snow here. Last 5 days have been snow all night, rain all morning. But nothing like Alberta, 40 below snow storms are for zombies. The Arrow Lake valley never hits 0F. But we can get 20' of wet snow.
