I hear ya, to each his own. Road noise means heat and resistance.
I forget the tires but they had massive knobs sticking out on my friends Rodeo.. they took a road trip in the summer...
Those fat knobs started popping off bouncing like super balls.
They broke a guys windshield right before the blow out. The Rodeo needed a new fender and new tires, it was hilarious...
Stories of Glory dayz,,,, Yep it's all true...
It's funny but really not . My old bronco they ran the big beefy OEM and they had a roar. Thankfully they didn't come apart like that

Ford Bronco Sport Got new tires - BFG All Terrain T/A KO2's in 245/65 x17" 9%2Fb%2Fa%2Ff%2F9baf5f774573c5913170c6475c2c4ed78f9b397b_Interco_Thornbird__70488.1627625878

Found them, the side knobs are what came off, each the size of a golf ball.....
she also forgot to air them up to on road pressure.
I think they were below 20 psi when they detonated.
You all should have seen the rooster tails these tires threw in the sand, Epic...

Buster got some new kicks today....BFG All Terrain T/A KO2's in 245/65 x17". No lift currently. No rubbing lock to lock, definite increase in road noise (although not extreme at all), haven't had them long enough to know mileage impact.

For anyone's reference if in the market for new tires.

That's insane. I'm betting the low pressure was a major factor but lord that's some serious tread. I can envision the sand just launching?

I was surprised her V-6 could power those shoes.

KO2s are noisy but you get used to it.

Thanks!

I have 285/75/16 KO2's on my FJ and i've put about 60k on them and the tread is still decent. I have the E rated ones though, great tire overall. I would have gotten them again for the BS but we got the Outer Banks and they dont make the KO2 in a 245/60/18 so i had to go with the Falkens.
What size Falkens did you get for the OB?

Apparently you didn't understand it was a joke.

I changed my rims because the stock rims with the little horsey look just like the rims everyone else has.

I will Say, the person that posted a pic of his powder coated stock rims did a good job.
