QuestionS for those running stock tires

[Quaesta]

How many miles are you getting?

How do you find they handle in the rain?

I got 30k out of mine but they were for sure gone, gone, gone at that point. I'm pretty easy on tires. The rain was cool no big deal. Just remember to have fun before replacing them!!

33k on mine right now...... I do 5 wheel tire rotations every 7k miles. I expect to get 40k+ out of them.

IN regards to rain performance. I find them to be fine at speed on the highway. it is a truck with power, so in town in the rain, they spin in 2wd, but thats what AWD was made for.

Im at 34k miles and they still have decent tread on them. Looking for new wheels/tires currently too.

I'm at 15k miles. Half tread. Personally these are my least favorite tires I've had on a truck. Many love them but they downright scare the hell out of me in the rain!! Soon as its starts to drizzle and roads get wet my truck goes into 4A.
Early on in first few weeks of ownership, I was just driving the speed limit 40-45 in a light rain on a typical paved 2 lane backroad. Entered a turn, thank God no one was coming, but within a split second I was pointing the opposite direction in the other lane. Did a complete 180 out of no where for no reason at all. Didn't hit throttle mid turn or anything stupid... just normal driving.

So I just chucked it up as a fluke. Then a few weeks later same thing. Rain, normal driving, entered turn and rear end broke loose and came around on me like I was on ice. But it was 80 and mid July. So at that point I started really paying attention to the driving conditions and these tires characteristics.

What i found was, on wet roads, anytime i entered a turn at a speed that created a little body roll and the road was flat (not cambered), cambered the opposite way, or had any imperfections/bumps causing the rear end to hop or lose perfect contact.... the rear end would break loose and get squirelly.

So at that point I started putting it in 4A in the rain. No more squirrely or rotating rear end mid turn since.

Don’t have any mileage reports yet but the stock BFGs are passable in the rain, you just have to remember it’s a high powered motor with a light rear end and soft rear springs. They’ll do okay, but it’s nothing to write home about.

On my test drive, I gunned it up an on ramp with uneven pavement and it was raining. I could feel the read end trying to kick out some. I just chalk it up as part of the experience and lighten up the throttle in the wet.

I got 34 on my first set and am almost due for a second

Can't talk to the mileage just yet, I only have around 7k-8k on them. But I think they're total shit in the rain. 4A is a must if the roads are wet. My 2017 lariat had the wranglers from the factory which were not great in rain either. Then I switched to the ridge grapplers and they were pretty dang good in the rain - i.e. I didn't gave to put in 4A every time it rained.
I'll definitely be changing to something else, as soon as they wear out, probably ridge grapplers again.

55,000 miles and great in all road conditions don't go by the factory tire settings if you have lad range C i run 40 psi on the road if i have a load in the bed gi to 44 wich is max. Load range E run 50 to 55 psi

All tires on a high HP vehicle will spin in the rain if too much throttle is applied. What I don't like about KO2s is their ability (lack of) to channel deep water from heavy rain. I find the Duratracs perform better for the types of environment I drive in. Rain (a lot), snow, ice, mud, with a little rock and sand mixed in there. I don't worry about mileage, I prefer making sure I always have good amount of tread for the season I'm driving in.
