Harsh ride? 265/75/16 E KO2's on 2017 TRD Pro

What are you planning on doing with your ko2s?

 

Those are about the pressures I found to work the best. Been hearing lot's of good about the OVTUNE. Just installed the SSP lastnight. Works well for the money. No Power gain but the Power we do have goes where it needs too when it needs too. As for heavy, Yes. I've been swapping over to my snow tires every Friday night for the last couple of weeks (taking the kid skiing). Can't believe how heavy those tiny KO2's are. Just goes to show how much fuel it takes to turn weight. (P.S. before I get too much crap, Blizzak DM-V2's are way safer driving over a sketchy frozen Pass than an All-Terrain w/ a SnowFlake symbol)

 

My Dura Tracs were ordered from Nevada lastnight after I started this thread. According to the updates, they should arrive at the tire shop today. My goal is to get them mounted tonight or tomorrow and than the KO2's are up for grabs. Let me know if your interested. Looks like your an hour North of me.

 

I had exactly the same problem with a set of Duratracs......got rid of them for Falken Wildpeak AT3W Load E in a 265/75/16. Rebalanced 3 times Im done with that.

 

I’ve been running the Duratracs in C for about 8000 miles and they have been great. Good ride and no issues with balancing.

 

That's why I asked.

 

THat's ^^^ what I have and they ride pretty smooth ... even with a full load and cranked up to 40psi.

 

Hmm, I recently installed Load Range E 265/75-16 KO2’s on my TRD OR and I can’t say I notice a huge ride quality difference from my OEM Wrangler Adventures. I’ve already got over 1000 miles of everything from urban to freeway to snow to Death Valley backcountry. I guess I don’t have a sensitive butt.

 

Send me your contact info and I'll contact you when they're ready to go.

 

I concur. Currently running Terra Grappler G2's in 265/70R17. Ride feels great!

 

Running 265 75 16 KO2 E Rated - 34 rear 35 front cold no issues and best ride quality. Its not hot here in CO yet, but rule of thumb is if you increase 6 or more psi when the tires are over the road then your cold psi is too low, and that's conservative from what I understand. Ran 35 ko2 on my Jeep and put many miles on them at 10-15 psi between trails in Moab with no issue. Either way, you will have a rougher ride with a E rated tire and the KO2 is one of th softest E rated tires out there IMO (I ran a ton of different tires on my Jeep)

 

Still running the factory OEM pack for now, I don't have enough info to decide to change to the Pro leaf pack so still debating. Need more facts and opinions from DCLB owners running Fox Pro shocks + leaf pack...but not too many out there.

 

Hmmm

 

I have the BFG Mud terrain 265/75 R16 at 32 PSI. I tried the 50 PSI and you will bounce over every bump in the road (a white knuckle experience) and a hard ride. When I went to 32 PSI, it rides similar to stock tires, but louder. I have 22000 miles on them. I rarely have a loaded bed, but tow a boat when needed.

 

I thought the Pro leaf pack is the same as the OR?

 

My KO2's at 32 were squirrley. I've had the C-Load 265/75/16 Dura-Tracs on since March 23rd. This time ordering from Tire Rack their were no balancing issues. I have them set at 35 cold. Once warm they run up to 38-39. However, Our Sun has just begun to come out. 75 yesterday and in the 80's today and the next few days. Already noticed my PSI at 37-38 when I get in the truck after work. Pressures going up to 41-42 on the way home and can feel the ride harden. Pretty interesting when you have the on-board ability to monitor PSI.

 

I run my Duratracs at 34 psi front and 30 psi rear. Have over 28K miles on them and they ride nice and are wearing evenly.

 

I heard the part numbers are the same but I also heard the Pro leaf pack is “tuned” differently... right now I just don’t have enough facts to make a decision.

 

Anyone running the 285 75 16 toyo rts ?,looking to go with them over the goodyear kevlar tires that come on them from factory

 

No but the E-loads ride like crap (bfg all terrain) get c-load good year dura- tracs in 265/75/16 and you'll be good.
