Nothing yet. Only drove it home highway 25 miles. I think the pressure is too high need to drop to 33 or something. Not as soft on the bumps as I thought. I want to push them out a bit with spacers have to look into that.

Ko2’s are very heavy/thick tires. You probably won’t pick up much more cushion on your ride by lowering the pressure. Won’t hurt to try though. And I’m a big fan of the white letters. Looks great.

Pressure when they installed was 45. I dropped to 36 cold and it’s night and day. I might drop a couple more pounds. But much much nicer ride!

Nice! My son put ko2’s on a patriot and it stiffened up quite a bit from the stockers. They are great tires but 45 is a bit high either way lol. Your ride looks great btw.

Man that looks so good. I wish they had provided those as the stock tires.

Do you see any difference from 45 to 36 on gas mileage?
Sorry I don’t know. I don’t pay that much attention to that. The money is so Negligible for the year I can’t imagine anyone trying to figure that out

You would see far more of a drop going from 225 to 255 than you would going from 45psi to 36ps. If you way under deflated them for rock crawling ie down to 20-25 you would notice a difference but you're probably talking a half a mpg or so with 45-36 and thats probably an over estimation.
