Delima..WWYD....34k on stock K02's that ride like shit

[JohnyPython]

I would say burn the shit out of them over the winter with lots of hooning, sidewayz, and burnouts. Spend the balancing $ on TNT. Then blow them up with tannerite lol

Then get some fresh shoes in the late spring.

My 2nd set of KO2s appear to be holding up a lot better than the originals. Its as if BFG gave Ford all its rejects.

The only concern I’d have with throwing tires at the problem would be that may mask a possible bent or out of round wheel. I had an exploder with a wheel that was out of spec and when it was up front it made the whole truck shake.

that said, at 34k you’ve likely heat cycled them pretty well, the stick is probably gone too even though you have tread.

pull them, take them to the closest tannerite friendly range and launch ‘em with about 2-4 pounds. Don’t get greedy, if you go higher than 4 pounds you could be sending stuff flying outwards, rather than launching the tires upwards.

That was the glorious send off I gave my Lightning F1’s.

damn son if you’re bending 17” forged wheels wrapped in 35” tires you are jumping 10” granite curbs on the reg or something

My kO2s lasted 56,000 miles with 60% off-road use. I found that tire pressure make a huge difference !

I heard a story/rumour/myth that OEM tires are a softer rubber and do not have the same durability as a new set.

Something like reduces road noise and increases grip - customer satisfaction and liability.

Take that with a grain of salt.

Well, if true, that overly soft oem rubber caused uneven wear and a shit ton of road noise after 20k miles. Quiet it definitely was not.

Ya I had a set of oem Dunlops that had a wild “womp, womp, womp” on the highway after about 25k miles.

Like a **********’s head bouncing off the headboard lol

Was your 2nd set load range C like the stock tires? Or load range E?

E actually. I was under the impression that’s just a sidewall difference
