my KO2s are having some issues

[Westwind1124a]

Been running 285 65 20s for the last 3 months. After 4500 miles they're starting to sound like they're wearing unevenly. Haven't even done the first rotation yet at 5000 miles. took it to the place that I bought them and they said there was noticeable cupping and offered to replace them. He told me that he's seen that a lot on the KO2s and he recommended rotating them every 3000 miles. Anyway, not trying to alarm anyone, but I am curios if anyone else is having the same problems

I have 305/65 18's with 5000 miles and they are wearing good. Love these tires.

Good to know, Thanks!

Patterned tire wear is almost never an issue with the quality of the tire. I'd bet you have something else going on.

Mine (same size) are wearing unevenly but that was due to alignment issues after my lift. I had the tires before the lift and they were wearing perfectly. Alignment is now fixed but the damage has already been done, tires are louder than MT's now

Did you have your truck aligned when you put on new tires? If not have it aligned.

I put a set in at 157 miles. Rotated at 6000 and again at 12000. Last rotation the tire guy noticed that the outside edge on the drivers side was cupping/feathering. Both front and rear identically but just the drivers side.

Are you running those tires on chrome clads? Im was thinking about running that size but I don't rotate my tires till 7k miles.

I've been researching tires over the past week to find the right replacements for my truck.
Uneven wear on the KO2's seems to be a common complaint.

Hope I answer everyones questions…

Yes, I had it aligned at the tire shop, but having my doubts about their abilities(prior alignment issue) I drove 5 miles down the road and had the dealer double check their work. That was 3 months ago and 4500 miles. they rechecked it a couple of days ago and it was near perfect. Chrome clads? Yes. My problem tires were on the front also.

I'm not looking to start a hate thread on the tire. They look awesome and just had a slight hum when I put them on. Hopefully others have better luck than me.

Aside from my alignment issue, my KO2's are wearing great, have almost 20k on them! I can't fault the tires in my situation.............I'm sure they'd make 40k easy had my alignment not chewed up the inside edges up front.

Have same set up. On factory chrome clads. About 4000 miles on them, no issues for me so far. Really like them, no road noise at all with windows up. Can slightly hear at city speed with windows down. Had alignment and road force done at purchase. Happy so far, didn't want hum of mt's was a big factor for me. And can say I don't, so far atleast

8,000 on mine so far and one rotation. They are wearing perfectly and almost no hum actually the old wore out Goodyear SRA were louder.
