I'm a soils technician . I off-road approx 10 miles a day 5 days a week. I put those tires through everything from mud to rock to sand to hard pack trails you name it . Best all around tire in my opinion. Plus I commute 25 miles partially twisty . Great on road.

This is my second set of KO2s. I had a set on my '07 Silverado and was at around 35K miles on them when I sold it and the tread depth was still excellent. I have about 4K on my current set and still no complaints. The performance, durability, and great appearance (imho) is a win-win-win!!

 

Oh yea, and life's too short to worry about gas mileage! I bought a Silverado, not a Prius! :thumbs::chevy:

What size tires did you go with and is yours leveled out?

Recently bought KO2's as well 275/65/20 lost about 3mpg. I also took the air dam off so that's playing into the loss of mpg. Great tires, would recommend to anyone looking for a mean looking tire. So far no snow use, was worried about the performance in the rain. We've flooded and had torrential downpours and the tires are fantastic! db2271585f1f5ebe9324fa45ef2f9ec4.jpg

Ok first full tank of gas threw it there was no consistency in driving city highway and some towing just wanted to get something on here As you can see 322.4 miles at 15.9 my hand calculated is adding for the tire size difference of 5.4% so 339.8 miles with 21.6 gallons equals 15.7 so considering what all I was doing I sill think I'm only at a one MPG loss with these tires. Ride is good and mpg is good but they do make some minor noise but nothing that would stop me from buying them again now only time and miles will tell

Still running the 2" level or did you change when you went up to the 275/65/20? Also, what's your wheel offset and and did you have to do any trimming?

ive got the same 275 75 18 ats as you. Ive got 10k on them know. gas milage dropped about 2mpg but then I haven't adjusted the speedometer to compensate for the larger tires. Only problem I have with mine is balance. Ive been to three different shops and the dealership. The only place that's got them close is the dealership with there road force machine. Still shake a bit over 60 but liveable. I just had them rotated at the dealership and they didn't road force balance them this time and the shake was back bad. Wife had to run it back up there Saturday to have it road forced balanced again and its much better but not perfect again. One thing that has me conserned is there road force balance machine tells then which tire should go on which corner of the truck for best results. So I could well be that they are not being rotated but put back on the same corner and I don't know how that will effect longevity. So far though with 10k on them they look great.
