Swapped to KO2s on Slate wheels road feel?

[Bedofslate]

I just swapped out my stock tires for some 245/75R17 KO2s on Slate 17s, and wow, the ride definitely feels a lot firmer now! I'm really curious to see how they'll hold up during my daily drives on asphalt. Fingers crossed they're up for it

KO2s are tough, so they'll hold up fine on asphalt, but you know there'd be more road noise right? and ride will be firmer compared to stock

Yep, KO2s are great all-terrain tires but the stiffer sidewalls and aggressive tread will make the ride harsher on pavement compared to stock highway tires. They'll wear faster on asphalt too since they're designed for mixed terrain. Expect slightly reduced fuel economy as well. For daily highway driving, you might've been better off with a lighter all-terrain or highway terrain tire.
