I have a 2017 SC, FX4 with the 3.5EB, 3.55 gears with max tow and stock 275/65/18 tires. I'm really not a fan of the stock Goodyear Fortitudes that came on the truck, unfortunately these things wear like iron, I have 50k on the truck and they look like they'll make it well over 80k before they need to be replaced. I'm thinking of either keeping my stock 18" wheels or upgrading them to the 20" sport wheels and changing the tires out, either way I'd be running stock sizes.

Does anyone have any experience with the E rated BFG K02s in the stock 18" or 20" sizes in a 4wd with the 3.5EB and 3.55 gears? How was the ride quality? Road noise? Loss in MPG or power? Slower to accelerate or increased braking distances?

Thanks

 

KO2 E in a 2013 3.73 5.0. Rides great. I always had LT/E soon uses to the ride. Pretty quiet to. Was looking at the Nitto Rigde Grapplers but they had the lowest speed rating. KO2 set the industry standards.

 

I'm using 265/70r17 LTE

 

Thanks, how was the difference in gas mileage before and after?

 

I ran ko2s on my 2012 SCREW for about 25k before trading it in. They were probably the best tires I have had on a 4x4. They are aggressive but still pretty quiet. They also handled great. What I liked best about them was that they were almost indestructible. I never had to worry about flats caused by road debris. They had very little sign of wear when I traded. Had them on a 2012 SCREW with 5.0L V8, 3.55 gears. Change in mpg was negligible. I highly recommend the KO 2 series and kind of wish I had kept them for the new truck.

 

I have the KO2 in 275/65 R18 on my Lariat, load range E. They ride stiffer than the Goodyears that came with the truck and mileage dropped a little bit but hey are fantastic tires, awesome in the snow.

 

Nice looking truck Koza

 

Thank you sir!

 

Thanks for the replies, looks like they'll be a good tire choice.

 

I have Toyo r/t's, and like them. That being said, if I wanted something less aggressive and quite, I would choose the KO2.

I want some hum on the road.
