BFG A/T KO2's Ride?

I put on these tires for my Taco but are a bit rough on blacktop....It vibrates a bit sometimes. I took it to get re-balanced and it improved but still not comfortable enough...don't know if that's the way these should feel on blacktop since I haven't used this brand before. They are great out in the dirt, sand etc...though

 

Kind of a strange poll/question to be honest since it's very subjective. I've been in vehicles with KO2's and thought it felt fine on road, but you say it's a bit harsh. We experienced the same tires but have different opinions...there is no "how should these feel" - they feel how they feel.

 

Got mine on my gen 2. Can't really tell a difference from the stock sport wheels. I will be able to tell a difference when it snows though. Don't worry, they ride nice and are very quiet.

 

I feel all the bumps on the road. I go back and forth on how I feel about these tires and if I should replace them BUT everytime I walk up to my truck and see how they look I am like nahhhhhhh I'll keep them.

 

I like peanut butter

 

Your limited rims are too big, get some 16" wheels and then put some "bro style" tires on and you'll be happier at 32-35 psi.

 

Have them on my work truck, 1500 Silverado, long bed. They ride very nice in the road. Quiet and smooth.

 

there's some good stuff!

 

I had a similar problem with Mickey Thompson STZs on my frontier. Steering response was something awful, but biggest problem were subtle vibrations. Not out of balance vibrations, more harmonic in nature at certain rpm ranges and when hitting road imperfections what should be a single bump felt like a series of shockwaves. I had them for around 1000 miles and had to return them. New tires (kumho crugen HT51) were a night and day improvement, being a highway tire

I suspect having sport tires, which are a highway tire, you did the opposite and are back where I was with the STZs.

 

have you personally checked the tire pressure to make sure it is not too high? tire monkeys often over inflate. start there and see if you start to like the ride. otherwise get some car tires like were on it when stock.

 

After a little over 2000 miles mine have smoothed out a little but. When I first got them I was about to go back to get them re-balanced, but never had time and didn't get around to it. Today I drove from Houston to New Orleans and about half way through my trip I noticed that the truck was riding nice and smooth. Pleasant surprise. Not sure if this is always the case, but for me it seems to have gotten better since day 1. I hope they stay this way. Just sharing, for what it's worth.

 

Truck's broke, sell it, buy Prius, problem : solved.

 

I've driven from Seattle to San Francisco in one day on mine. Smooth as butter, especially at speed.

What you are missing from the poll is good riding light weight C-load, or stiff riding heavy weight E-load. The KO2s come in both.

 

I zoomed in on the sidewall.... Load range C

 

Then must be balancing or tire pressure.

 

Perfect

 

Mine are E-Load. That might be the issue.

 

Es will ride rougher and feel more bumps on the road than Cs or stock Ps.

 

my bad... the E looks like a C..
