I swapped the original Michelin tires for Hankook iON evo AS tires, and I’m here to tell you how it went. The tires are quieter. I can confirm this - I actually thought there was something wrong with the car after they were installed. The vehicle does seem to handle better. We beat projected arrival in Chattanooga by over 12% battery.
I've seen some good comments about the Hankook Ions
Just bought the BFG Comp 2 A/S from Sam's. I like them, the guy who put them on seemed to really like them, and I see them recommended a lot.
BFG KO2s were OEM and I replaced with another set. UE came with 33"KO2s (not mudders) infused with some kind of black magic that allows them to be great off road and quiet, smooth high grip on paved roads - mine lasted more the 70k miles.
I’ve been on my BFGs for more than 50 and still have tread
Good luck and perhaps try nittos or bfg’s next(my bud with a trd offroad taco got 66k out of his ko2’s, which is why we are trying them on the wife’s 4rnr)
No issues on mine, I paired them with my method racing wheel, trail series. This is on my KL.
Live in a snowy state. I've had Cooper Zeons, Goodyear Duratracs, and both KO2s and KM3s. The BFGs performed the best in winter conditions. Even with a wonky suspension during a blizzard in the high country, the KO2s did not slip up. It felt planted too. The off road performance is amazing too. Rocks getting stuck is apart of it. Tires are supposed to get dirty. The price is high, but you never want to go cheap when it comes to tires.
I ran some KM3 in the Cascades for a few months before they got really slashed up on sharp rocks and punctured, then 3 years on one set of KO2 without trouble.
Drove about 30 miles on AT3W but the steering wheel shake was so bad that I paid more for the KO2’s. Shake is still there but not as bad. Whatever you pick, make sure to get your wheels properly road force balanced.
