    Another popular priced tire is the Falken Wild Peak AT3W 265/65R18 SL 46 lbs... "BFG KO2 Style Tire" lol

    When I bought my truck it had a brand new set of 265/70r16 E rated BFG KO2s on it and they were great. I currently run Nitto Terra Gapplers and dont notice too much difference, it's a little smoother but probably mostly due to my upgraded suspension. The only thing I noticed about them was every now and then when raining they would slip a little at takeoff and when going over small bumps like curbs they would slip and now the Nittos I have dont do this in the same scenarios so I dont know whether that was E vs C or a tire thing but that's the only complaint I ever had about the BFGs. Otherwise loved them and never once had a nail or flat.

    E-Rated KO2's feel nice and plush to me at around 30psi (cold) at moderate speed on bad roads. Obviously, if you're running a load in the bed or running faster, above 60, they want a bit more air. They are strong tires and will survive fine at 30-32psi. I always wonder about folks who complain about them feeling harsh on the rocks & washboards at rated max pressure with low loads.
