Which tire to buy

[Peep]

Still ordering like crazy for my build, but am limited or tire types, but finally have found 2 i can get in Mexico and sneak across the boarder and have them installed. Problem is no show room, has to be ordered in to a shop.

315 75r 16 General Grabber At2

Or

#15 75r 16 BF Goodrich K02

Which lasts longer on the road and is quieter (wife requirement)? Goodrich costs about $250 more for the 4.

I've had both in different sizes on an f150. Both were great. I felt the bfgs lasted slightly longer but for the cost i think the grabbers are the best bet. I just put on a set of the grabbers on the h3 in 265 70 16 and they are pretty quiet.

In your 315 75 16 the grabbers are D load rating which is 8 ply and the bfgs are E which is 10 ply so the the grabbers would probably ride better on the road and not be so harsh.

I am a huge fan of the BFG's!

The original BFG KOs lasted a long time and had good on road manners. The KO2s haven't been out long. Has anyone gone through a set yet?

My first set of tires on the T were the original KO's and they lasted a long time, I already have about 6-7000 miles on the KO2's now and they hardly show any wear!!

Rats....can't get the General Tires AT2. Just the
k02 but the can get 315 75r16 Nitto terra grapplers. The first version. Are they just street tires?

Loved my set of 265/75r16 and now my set of 315/75r16 KO2's. They're very quiet and give me the traction I need off road. Had my 265's since I had the car at around 65k miles and drove it on them til around 85k miles when I pulled the trigger on 315's. The 265's still have great tread i'd say between 60-70% tread. As for the 315's I've used from 85k to currently 92k, it's shown no wear, only wear is on the front tires at the corners when I take turns a bit quick, rotated them to the rear recently and the old rear's still have sharp corners. Hope this helps!

Will I do not want to loose my option. So after much negotiation, here is what I have come up with.
I have 2 inner and 2 otter tie rod ends and lower front arm bushing.

They install both bushings and inner and outer tire rods,
Install 4 new BF Gddorich K02 315 75r16 tires
Adjust torsion bars if needed again
Front end alignment
Fill tires with Nitrogen
New valve stems
Balance tires
Best tire remaining to spare
all for $19200 Peso's.

What do you guys think. (Opions????) Will beat shipping here that is for sure and to me price seems really good, but not up north right now to compare.

Lil over Grand not bad.

I went back and forth forever between those tires, and ultimately decided on the BFG KO2. And I have never regretted it, it's a great tire.

and search around online... I searched on tirebuyer.com and then a local shop matched/beat their price when I called to see if they would mount 5 tires I bought elsewhere.

i think that price sounds correct, roughly, if I calculated the exchange correctly. I paid a little more total, but I got 5 tires (one for the spare).

Well sent a guy to Mexico yesterday with 3000 peso's to order the tires, and he is missing. Tires not ordered:gaah:

So guess I drive over myself. Hate taking my hummer, they always think I am Cartel and mostly they are afraid of me! I once stoped for tacos and the guy refused payment lol. Does get me good service though lol. Going for the BFG

Well I hear my 315's k02 tires should be in this week!

big question....tire pressures! Sticker says 30lb, but we have 9 miles of marl hard road that has potholes before town. So thinking of going with lower tire pressure but what? Any ideas?

too low and I wear tires to fast plus gas sucks. Was thinking 28lb???
