I reverted back to the stock Continentals from my KO2's. They were nice tires and all but the mpg loss and the loud road noise that came with them just wasn't worth it to me any more. I'm happy with my decision and glad I kept my stock tires.
Mileage and noise are two areas with not enough discussion, IMHO. We'd all like tires that have better traction and are more capable ... but at what cost? For those with frequent off-road needs it is likely worth it. For the rest of us, what is the best compromise? I want something that will work in rain and light snow conditions, not get me stuck in mud while still being fairly quiet with minimum impact to mileage. Up until recently, I had been eyeing Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015s as a future replacement. Right now I am liking what I read about Continental CrossContact LX25s. Seems like a more measured approach but still an upgrade from stock.

Driving Sports TV put a set of Vredestein Pinza All-Terrain tires on its Maverick FX4 tester. You can watch the full video review below.

Took the Bronco off road to roam with the Buffaloes. Sorry they were camera shy and wouldn’t come up to the fence for pictures.

Well I can now add car assembly line worker to my resume, replacing the parts (ok the easiest one next to folding headrests…) that Ford cut out. I’m not sure if it’ll help protect the blower much more (there’s still wiring thatā€˜s left loose) or if it’ll make much difference on noise (which wasn’t really a concern anyways), but worth doing.

I agree! No noticeable change in noise and no change as far as protection is concerned. It will make it more difficult for people looking to steal your fuses though! :sunglasses:

I got the Bronco washed at the dealership while I spent some points ordering the front sunshade. I ticked over 3k miles in 7 weeks, so that's a problem.
