New BF Goodrich KO2s

After 76k miles on the first set of BF Goodrich All Terrain KOs, I needed to get a new set since the rubber was hardening and causing hydroplaning in wet conditions. It was a shame to get rid of them since they still had a nice amount of tread left.  I found an excellent deal at 4wd.com, a shop that specializes in Jeep parts. They had the new BFG KO2s for a ridiculously low price and free shipping. I picked up a set of 5 and had them installed at the local tire shop. These new versions are much better looking than the old ones. They put some tread on the sidewalls, which made them look more like a mud terrain tire.  Once I drove on them it was unbelievable. The ride was much smoother and no vibrations on the steering wheel. On the old KOs it seemed that everywhere I went to get them rebalanced, they had a hard time doing so.  I'm hoping these last another 70+k miles.
