Ridge Graps vs KO2-snbzjxl.jpg

Ridge Graps here as well. Love them. I'm running the 34" x 11.5" (295-70R18) with a 2 3/4" level and believe you'll run into spacing issues with a 35" tire. Probably have to go to a lift.

So far I’ve only put the RG in light mud and gravel at the lease and they did slightly better than KO2.

For the price point, looks and quality = RG
How slight is the hum? I cruise at 60mph for about 250 miles every weekend heading to my land. Is the hum noticeable over the radio or a fairly loud exhaust?

thanks

Six shooter I always listen to my radio plus I have a corsa exhaust. I don’t notice it when I have the radio on going down the interstate. With the radio off you can definitely hear them hum, not nearly like mud tires but there is a hum. My RG’s only have 2 thousand miles on them and are 275/60/20 not the E rated ones I hope they don’t get louder. For the price 205 a tire, the aggressive look, and good ride quality I like them. My ko2’s did not look as good in my opinion but they were quieter. My next set of tires I am going to try is the wildpeak at3w but hopefully that’s going to be a while.

I'll throw another tire in the mix: Falken Wildpeak AT3W. Great traction off road and in wet conditions, a little noise on the road, $500 less for a set of four than the KO2.

Thanks for the reply.

Where'd you get them for $205 ea.?

I'm looking at getting 285/70-R18 and they are $320 ea. So I want to make sure they are what I want. Just torn between the KO2 or RG

RG's only come in black walls. Keep that in mind if you happen to be in the minority of people that actually likes white lettering out. RG's were a no-go for me because of this reason.

I actually like both looks, I've had solid white lettering out and black walls. The solid white looks good on a sporty truck, but I think I'm going to go with black for a 4wd. Either way, it's not a deal breaker.

Nice looking truck BTW

Six-I plan to get the 285/70r18 also and the lowest I have seen is $317.

I’ve had my E rated RG’s for about 7k mikes and love them. They are equally awesome in the rain and snow. I just rotated them, all is well.

I had P rated G2’s on my last F150 and hated them. They were like ice skates on wet pavement and at times, I felt very unsafe, they didn’t shed water at all so hydroplaning felt like you were surfing. I also noticed that when I drive through gravel, the RG’s hardly pick up anything whereas the G2’s picked up every rock and flung it on the side of the truck.

Looks like 275/70r18 RGs are closer in price to KO2s ($250ish)

I might go with that, only about 1/2" difference in height, idk.

the 275s in this post look pretty good
