These are awesome tires! Even better than the first generation!

 

Very nice!! They look 10X better than the first model. What size? What load range/ply? How much did they cost? Keep us updated with ride, traction wet/snow etc.....

 

Mine are 275/55/R20's. Mine were 219.00 per tire. They are 2 ply tires with a 20% increase in sidewall toughness compared to the first generation tire. Load range is E. They are also lighter and a little stiffer.

I got 75,000 miles out of the original TA KO's so I'm excited to see how long these last. I put about 50 miles on them today on the road and highway. It was raining and they have great traction in the rain and are quiet and smooth. An awesome buy in my opinion so far.

 

Instant love affair with these tires!!! I want them but not sure if I can justify them as my truck is basically a pavement queen with the occasional loads and errands.

 

Tseekins, it's your truck. Looking good is 75% of it. If you love them, get them.

 

Have you tried them the snow?

 

How much road noise do these generate?

 

I don't hear any noise at all. The original TA KO's were fairly noisy. I don't hear it with these.

 

I was just looking into these because I wanted to go old school with RWL, but those go away on the 20"s

 

They look cool...let us know how they last and work for you over the miles! I myself have been a Michelin man for quite some time now...and the Bridgestones I am running now are the first I have ever used. I never would have thought twice about overlooking the Bridgestone Dueler...but they have been wearing great so far with about 32,000 miles on them. (they are quiet too...a big reason why I love Michelins)

 

I might just to hell with it and get the BFG TKO's. They are an awesome tire and BFG has re engineered them to be quieter and last longer.

 

I was just in a tire shop getting the oil changed on my work truck and those TKO 2's caught my eye in the waiting room. They do look nice but they don't come in the 285/75R18 size that I want. I might decide on another size if they do well in snow.

 

That must be because of the different compound?? Because the tread pattern looks the same as it did on the old KOs. But the side lugs are more aggressive on the KO2's.

 

Love those tires and that is what I want to go to next

 

Yeah, I had some of the original TA KO's. These are silent compared to those. These grip a little better on slick wet surfaces as well. Love them so far.
