Balancing KO2s

I've had two sets of C load 265 KO2s now and neither have been great. First set was out of spec according to the Road Force balance machine so they got replaced. Second set is in spec and rides okay for the most part but I still get shakes on occasion. Have had the second set on the road force balance machine twice now and about to go back for a third time.

Just had them on their about 3 weeks ago and they were fine for two weeks but now the bed is shaking at 55mph. Maybe a weight fell off this time.

Misery loves company. Tell me if you've had issues with KO2s. At this point I don't think I'll be getting another set.

 

Ask them them if it would be worth putting balancing beads in them? Although they my not have any. So answer probably be no.

 

Had the same issue with Goodyear DuraTracs and after going through 7 tires and multiple road force balancings I gave up and put a set of Michelin LTX AT2's on. Not nearly as aggressive a tire, but noticed an immediate and significant improvement in smoothness (steering wheel stopped shuddering, rear view mirror isn't buzzing, and water bottle in console drink holder doesn't look like a tsunami model).

 

I'm having issues with my KO2s and the Road Force Balancer....

They're ok ... but not smooth..

 

Yeah...I'm slowly but surely coming to the conclusion that less than perfect balance is just part of getting an AT tire. Some will get lucky and get a set that balances perfectly but many won't. Is what it is I suppose. I'm a big fan of Michelin (have some super sports on my other car). I'm not there yet but I'm probably going to trade the look for a smoother ride next time around.

 

The LTX series has been the best (mostly) on-road truck tire I've ever used, going back 20 years. They're actually halfway decent in some light off-road conditions too. Michelin knows their shit.

 

Fun fact.. Michelin has owned BFG since 1988.

 

No issues here. Nice and smooth at freeway speeds. Sorry about your luck.

 

Mine are OK, 245's on mine, I feel a little shake at about 80km/h but definitely not buzzing my drinks/mirror, and not shaking the bed

 

I'll chime in. I've given up. KOs did it on 4R TRD Pro wheels despite a number of rebalancing including two RF. KO2s did it after a few weeks. Even changed to a new set of TRD Wheels, no diffftence. It comes and goes.

 

Yess. Mine comes and goes too...it actually did quite well on the way home today. I need to just stop thinking about it. Thats not easy for me though.
