KO2’s Falling Apart :(

[John M BUNMAN]

This happened Off-Roading yesterday, but if you want it moved to tires…
The Volcanic Rock ate my tires for lunch yesterday. I’ve always run BFG’s and I love them, but they were load range E. Does that really make that much difference? In their defense, I was 2 FNING Lazy to air down like I should have, I was running about 37 all around. I had never run these trails before and by the time I’m into them it’s 113 No Shade so I just said F it and paid the price. Stupidity is EXPENSIVE!
I was planning on going to the BFG KM3 MT. that I was running on my 2010 but I’m open to suggestions from anyone that has good luck with another tire. Road noise is irrelevant since I’m partially deaf anyway (Guns, Airplanes, Motorcycles, 90mm Recoilless w/foam ear plugs )
My load range E’s would chunk some but nothing like this.
I was in 4Lo Rock/Crawl, not spinning them, yet they fell apart
I was looking at the Goodyear MTR Kevlar, but is that any better than the KM3?
The Toyo Open Country MT looks interesting too.
Any experience you have had with one your sold on, would be greatly appreciated.
Im asking a lot of the tire, Good road manners but able to handle rock, sand. I’m in the desert several times a week but then we will hook up the Winnebago and take a 3k mile road trip. Does such a tire exist?

I chewed up a set of KOs running through the desert on the way to Vegas a few years back, I feel your pain. I have nothing else to contribute. Happy tire hunting.

If you could, post this in a tire subforum as well. I think you'd get more response and I'm really wanting to hear from others as well.

How old are those tires? I chunked up a set of michelin LTX's from running on normal-ish dirt roads, on a different truck. Discount Tire replaced them as defective.

Looks like the heat got to them for some reason.

typical ko2. running their mt tire will probably be worse, depending if the compound is softer, like some manufacturers do. i killed a few sets of ko2. the quickest was in 3.5 days and less than 100 miles. the longest was 6 days and 120 miles. not worth what you are spending for them. the falken wildpeaks did a bit better and lasted 7 days and 140 miles.(same dirt mountain road, as i was testing tires for a manufacturer) remember the load rating is sidewall, not tread or compound related so doesnt matter if its a load range c,d, or e.

Those tires are properly shagged.

Bought the truck new Nov 2019
It has 28k on them. Never had this problem b4 with the E Range BFG.
I plan on swinging by Discount. Thank you
