Hey guys, trying to get info on these tires. I cant decide which ones to go with. I have a 2019 classic (basically a 2018), getting a level done on Saturday. Think I narrowed it down to Terra Grapplers or KO2's but I was hoping to get advice from guys that have had them. Id prefer a smother, more comfortable ride. Also, thinking 34s because Im not sure 35s will fit without rubbing. My truck is a 2wd, if that helps.

Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I have the BF K02 and seem quiet and are wearing very well. I think I have at least 20k miles and still have the little ***** on the tread. On a 4wd no less.

Awesome, I've heard good things about KO2s. I really want a bit of that rugged look but a soft comfortable tire. i may be asking for too much lol

I have the KO2s as well in a '34' inch size (275-65-20). No complaints on the ride, but I also am not really able to remember of how it road before, as I got the Bilstein and KO2s in pretty quick succession roughly 10k miles ago, I think. I also like to keep my PSI in the 45-48 range which I know is when some say it gets rough. They have worn well, only issue is trying to keep them clean with that aggressive tread!

Thats very kind of you to say. Still a lot left I want to do but it is nice to hear that from a 3rd party as I will always convince myself its not good enough yet lol. The level and tires really make a big difference. You should look into the Maxtrac level for 2wd if you want it leveled. I attached a before level and tires and an after in a similar stance just so you can see how much a difference it makes.

Yeah..I really like your truck lol. Those KO2s look great! any rubbing issues? Is your ram a 2wd or 4wd? And I know what you mean about 'its not good enough yet', I kept pouring money into my 07 Ram for the same reasons hahaha

I have the G2's and love them!!!! Mine are 295/60R20's and they look pretty good with my truck leveled. I have a 4wd but should look too much different with a 2wd.... Here's a pic from when I still was running my OEM wheels.

I have K02's on my Jeep and Terra Grappler G2's on my Ram. The Terras blow the K02's out of the water. Quieter ride and much better traction especially in snow/ice/mud. Wear on the Terras seems to be better as well. No doubt in my mind that I'll stick with the Terras in the future.

I have Bilstein 5100's all around with the adjustable up front, which is how I did my level. I left about 3/4 inch of rake for the occasions that I do tow, but it's almost impossible to tell just by eyeballing it. Tire size is 275/60/20 which is stock, since I'm kind of a stickler for fuel mileage.

No rubbing and I think they ride as good if not better the factory Goodyear's. I run mine @ 42 psi as far as tire pressure goes.
