Tires BFGoodrich or Giti
I switched from the stock Goodyear tires to E-rated BFG KO2 on my 2015 F150. There is a small but noticeable loss of quickness that you get used to. I also lost 2-3 mpg on the highway. I gained much better flat protection.
The traction is one aspect but proven durability off road is hard to put a value on. K02s have eaten some ugly road.
2k miles in and I love them. 1-1.5mpg decrease from the stock OEM tires.
I have KO2s and they’ve worked great for me.
KO3s are way better than KO2s. Much better in wet and snow. I love mine.
I have run Gitisynergy H2 in 195/65R15 size. Where it loses out is sheer feel and dry grip. The sidewalls on H2 are softer, tends to roll a lot, leading to a numb and delayed handling feel. On the plus side, it was very puncture resistant and had wet grip on par with the T005. I did not feel that the tyres were sketchy in the wet. Wear was average - at around 40,000km mark the sidewalls were wearing down into almost nothing and the tyre was becoming a bit donut-shaped.
I had a set and my only complaint was they weren’t very good in mud, other than that they were great.
I bought KO2s because of the hype, 2 sets of them actually. And found them to be very mediocre in anything but dry dirt/rock. They have worn very well but on and offroad performance hasn't blown my hair back.
I have load range E tires (BFG KO3) on Rock Warrior 17" forged wheels, so I've made that tradeoff too, but am clear-eyed about consequences. Also, loss in MPG and acceleration due to having to spin more weight on each wheel. And incorrect speedometer / odometer readings. And loss in tow capacity (due to giving away torque via taller tires, which effectively decreases gear ratios).
Never heard of Giti before, which is not a good sign. After Looking them up, the reviews aren't great.
