replacing K02s

[PJ Snyder]

My son has a 2018 2500 6.4 and put K02s on at 12,000 miles. Well he is just over 60,000 now and will be replacing them tomorrow so he got about 48,000 out of them. The fronts are still about 50% but he said Jiffy Lube did his oil changes and they always told him they didn't have a jack heavy enough to rotate his tires. Find that hard to believe but they wouldn't do it. And since he is on the road he can't do it himself

He's running with the right tires. I've had BF Goodrich All Terrain for over 30 years and have had good luck with them.

The jiffy lube statement is a lie, that just means they do not want to do it...the other lie is our impacts are broken...lol

I like the BFG's

I own a 2016 Ram 2500 4x4. I buy my tires (KO2’s) at Discount Tires. Rotated every 5,000 miles.They are 285’s, largest I can run without a lift. I have 40,000 on these tires with good tread left. Discount Tire stores everywhere, state to state. They use floor jacks. I also change my oil every 5,000 miles with filter and new fuel filters. Oil & Fuel done at my regular shop. Cheaper than dodge and with the recipt, my extended warranty is still good. Had Toyos before these when BFG dropped their tire warranty. Only got 40,000 miles from them. Good off road(desert & baja) ride. Went back to BFG when tire warranty returned.

My RAM was on its second set of tires when I bought it recently. Tires were from mid-2010, KOs and they had about 65k miles on them. 315/75R16 (the truck is lifted).

I replaced them with GoodYear Wranglers, all-season/all-terrain/winter-rated. I had nothing against BFGs but my buddy works at Goodyear and so I got a discount that I couldn't pass.

I'm very pleased with these GoodYear tires. Their contracted shop balanced them really well, verified that my alignment is still good, and I've put about 1000 miles on them within the last month. No wobble, no noise, keep a straight line well, and do twisty mountain roads well, too.

Needless to say, I also replaced the original, 20-year-old spare.



While the jack topic came up: does anyone really use the jack that comes with the truck out of the factory? I didn't have to lift the truck for any of the jobs I've done on it so far, since it's lifted 8", but I wonder if that jack is worth anything, or if I should go ahead and buy something better, that I can use at home, and en-route if need be?
