I like it a 33 inch tire looks good in there. I still need to get new wheels but I've ordered 275/60/20 for my new toy.

How would you compare ride quality, noise level, wet weather traction, etc against the stock Bridgestone tires?

Ride Quality is the same if not better, noise level is not bad at all, wet weather traction is perfect. I drove up thru the mountains for a snowboarding trip in a snow storm and they handled great! I’d highly recommend them

I have the same tires. Superior traction. They are a little noisier at speeds around 27-37 mph,

after that very quiet. Snow and wet traction is awesome.

Good to hear. I have a set of KO2s on my '95 Wrangler that I really like but after running Mud Terrains for the past 10+ years anything would offer a smoother/quieter ride.

Have had the KO and KO2s....ride noise has never bothered me in the 18" versions. I do feel like the ice traction is barely fair versus the snow which I think is pretty good.

I got a set installed today. I feel like the ride is not as good as the stock Bridgestones. I hated the look of those and the K02s came highly recommended. I absolutely love the look and like the idea of superior traction as I have to go out in all sorts of weather, but I already miss the smooth ride. What PSI are you running? I wonder if mine are not inflated properly as I seem to be in the minority here.

I run 45, they are a higher load rating and stiffer sidewall vs the stock tires. They aren’t going to be quite as smooth as the flimsy stock highway tire, but are good for how aggressive they are.

Interesting. They inflated them to 35 when they installed them. Maybe that is part of the issue.

More air is going to be stiffer slightly but I’ve noticed they are quieter at a higher psi. I’ve had mine for about 6 months. I’m happy with them

It’s a great look. Enough to make a difference but easy on the wallet and on the MPGs compared to larger.

Btw: what tonneau cover do you have? Does it leak at the gaps in the tailgate?

I have the rough country preload spacer. I also have the bakflip MX4 cover. It’s actually off of my gen 4. It seals pretty good on the tailgate but not 100 percent. Normal rain it does pretty well.

@RBRK are the KO2's on your truck 275/60r20 if not what size are they?
