    That's awesome. I am on the fence about getting new K02's now or waiting until mine stock tires wear out.

    What size K02 did you go with?
    275 65 or 70?

    How many miles did you get out of your stock tires? They pretty worn?

    I'm at about 20,000 miles, bought it used. The old tread is just touching lincolns head on a penny. Needed something new for winter.
    I stuck with 275/65/18. Was between Duratracs and KO2's already have experience with duratracs on our jeep so figured i would try something different.

    A local shop changes tires the same way. They leave the truck on jacks, makes me nervous every time.

    I guess I'll be the one to tell you...

    Either you got screwed over really bad and the guy sold you used tires or you posted the exact same picture as the before and after...

    Lets see the new ones!

    All installed. They look nice. Noticeably rougher ride than the stock street tires for sure. Did not notice any road hum yet but I only drove 8 miles. The installer had a hard time balancing them so a roadforce balance may be in the near future when I get an alignment. I will update any major issues if they occur.
    ASAP was very professional other than no jack stands. Guy was very down to earth and took good care of my rims, no noticeable scratches. However they use a paste lube for mounting and have no water to clean it with after so your rims look dusty. Overall I would probably use their service again.

    Quick question. What psi is everyone running in their KO2's?

    I don't have KO2s but from what I've read start at 35-40 psi and do the chalk test and drive around a bit til you find what works best.
